    Buying the 2021 Kia Forte GT

    CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2021 Kia Forte GT; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. This page puts the 2021 Kia Forte GT in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.

    Recalls and complaints

    NHTSA has 69 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine, unknown or other and electrical system. There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.

    What the specs mean

    The 2.0L 4-cylinder, paired with an automatic (CVT), drives it. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

    The EPA rates it at 7.1 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 21 litres. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $33.03 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,050 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

    Practical details

    It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. The EPA lists 425 litres for luggage, roughly a family's bags for a long weekend.

    When the Forte makes sense

    It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

    Rent it for a week first

    Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent the Forte for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. A week with the Forte answers more than any brochure.

    Money matters

    Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.01 in fuel.

    Year and trim

    Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Compare the GT with the other trims of the same year before you decide.
