    Thinking of buying the 2021 Kia Forte LX?

    CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2021 Kia Forte LX for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. Thinking about the 2021 Kia Forte LX? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.

    A buyer's checks

    A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Owners filed 69 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, unknown or other and electrical system; have those parts checked.

    Engine and fuel

    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.

    It is rated 7.1 L/100 km combined: about 21 litres every 300 km. In money, 1,000 km costs about $110.10 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,050 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

    Space and size

    Being a mid-size car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. The EPA lists 425 litres for luggage, roughly a family's bags for a long weekend.

    Is it right for your trip?

    It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

    Drive it on your own roads

    A test week in the Forte tells you more than any review. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.

    The cost of driving it

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

    Year and trim

    Compare the LX with the other trims of the same year before you decide. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.

    The Forte and Mapleton

    We rent from Toronto only. If your trip to Mapleton starts in the Toronto area, rent the car here. Mapleton is about 512 km from Toronto, outside our delivery area.
