    The 2021 Kia Forte LX: before you buy

    We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2021 Kia Forte LX for sale by us right now. Here is the 2021 Kia Forte LX for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.

    Before you sign for the Forte

    Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

    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.

    Combined fuel use is 7.1 L/100 km: about 21 litres for 300 km. In energy, every 100 km costs about $11.01 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

    Size and space

    As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. Its 425 litres of luggage space fit 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 between cars, by the week or the month.

    Drive it on your own roads

    A test week in the Forte tells you more than any review. If the Forte is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.

    What it costs to run

    A 1,000 km month costs roughly $110.10 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$2,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.

    Narrowing it down

    Compare the LX with the other trims of the same year before you decide. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.

    Ruby and the Forte

    If you are starting from Toronto, rent the car here and drive it to Ruby. Ruby is about 2,375 km from Toronto, outside our delivery area.
