Recalls and complaints

Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Owners filed 69 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, unknown or other and electrical system; have those parts checked.

The numbers in plain words

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. 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.

What the Forte is like

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. For luggage, 425 litres means a family's bags for a long weekend.

When the Forte makes sense

It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.

Rent it for a week first

A week with the Forte answers more than any brochure. Rent the Forte for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Rent the Forte first, and buy only if it fits your life.

Money matters

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $110.10 at our price setting. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

Choosing the right one

A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Compare the LX with the other trims of the same year before you decide.
