Thinking of buying 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. Before buying the 2021 Kia Forte EX+, read what the figures say and how to try one first.

A buyer's checks

Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done.

Reading the spec sheet

The 2.0L 4-cylinder is what moves it, with 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.

The EPA rates it at 7.1 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 21 litres. That works out to about $11.01 per 100 km at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Who it is for

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

Practical details

As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. The trunk holds 425 litres by the EPA's count: a family's bags for a long weekend.

A longer test drive

Drive the Forte on your commute before you commit to it. Rent the Forte for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Forte answers the big questions.

Narrowing it down

Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Compare the EX+ with the other trims of the same year before you decide. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.

The cost of driving it

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.01 in fuel. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $110.10 at our price setting.
