Buying the 2021 Kia Forte LX

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2021 Kia Forte LX for sale by us right now. Before you buy the 2021 Kia Forte LX, see the figures and the checks worth doing.

A buyer's checks

Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.

Specs, explained

Power: the 2.0L 4-cylinder; drive: front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

Plan on about 21 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 7.1 L/100 km. A 300 km weekend costs about $33.03 in energy at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,050 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

The Forte in everyday use

It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. Its 425 litre trunk is enough for 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 a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

Drive it on your own roads

If the Forte is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent the Forte first, and buy only if it fits your life. A week with the Forte answers more than any brochure.

Money matters

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. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

Which one to look for

Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. 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.
