Thinking of buying the 2021 Kia Forte LX?

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2021 Kia Forte LX; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. For anyone shopping for the 2021 Kia Forte LX, here are the facts that matter.

A buyer's checks

NHTSA has 69 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine, unknown or other and electrical system. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

What the specs mean

Power comes from the 2.0L 4-cylinder, driving through an automatic (CVT). It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

Its combined rating is 7.1 L/100 km, which means roughly 21 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $110.10. The EPA estimates US$2,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Room inside

Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. Luggage space is rated at 425 litres: a family's bags for a long weekend.

Good uses for the Forte

It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.

A longer test drive

Rent the Forte for a week and see how it fits your life. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. If the Forte is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.

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. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $110.10 at our price setting.

Narrowing it down

Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
