The 2021 Kia Forte GT for buyers

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2021 Kia Forte GT; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Thinking about the 2021 Kia Forte GT? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.

Before you sign for the Forte

Owners filed 69 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, unknown or other and electrical system; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.

Reading the spec sheet

It uses the 2.0L 4-cylinder and front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

Fuel use is rated 7.1 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 21 litres. For 1,000 km, budget about $110.10 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

What to expect from the Forte

As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. Luggage space is rated at 425 litres: a family's bags for a long weekend.

A good match for

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.

Drive it on your own roads

Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Forte answers the big questions. Rent the Forte first, and buy only if it fits your life.

What it costs to run

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. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

Choosing the right one

Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.

The Forte and Ruby

If you need it in Ruby itself, send a request and we will tell you honestly whether we can help. Ruby is about 281 km from our Toronto location, beyond the area we deliver to.

One more step

Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
