    Thinking of buying the 2021 Kia Forte GT?

    CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2021 Kia Forte GT for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. Buying the 2021 Kia Forte GT is a big decision; here is the information we have.

    A buyer's checks

    Owners filed 69 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, unknown or other and electrical system; have those parts checked. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

    Under the hood

    The 2.0L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

    Combined fuel use is 7.1 L/100 km: about 21 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $11.01, and a 300 km weekend about $33.03. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,050 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

    Inside and out

    As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. The EPA measures its luggage space at 425 litres, roughly a family's bags for a long weekend.

    When the Forte makes sense

    It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.

    Try before you buy

    If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent the Forte for a week and see how it fits your life. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.

    Money matters

    A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. The EPA estimates US$2,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.01 in fuel.

    Year and trim

    If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Compare the GT with the other trims of the same year before you decide. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
