Auto loans: the 2021 Kia Forte EX+

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2021 Kia Forte EX+; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Here is what to know about the 2021 Kia Forte EX+ before buying one.

What to check on the Forte

Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Owners filed 69 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, unknown or other and electrical system; have those parts checked. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.

The numbers in plain words

The 2.0L 4-cylinder, paired with an automatic (CVT), drives it. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

By the EPA's combined rating of 7.1 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 21 litres. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $110.10. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,050 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Who it is for

It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

Size and space

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. In plain terms, its 425 litres of luggage space hold a family's bags for a long weekend.

Rent it for a week first

Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Drive the Forte on your commute before you commit to it. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.

Year and trim

Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.

The cost of driving it

Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

The Forte and Java

CarmaCars is based in Toronto, about 1,933 km from Java, and does not deliver there. If you are starting from Toronto, rent the car here and drive it to Java.
