Thinking of buying the 2021 Kia Forte EX+?

CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2021 Kia Forte EX+ for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Here is the 2021 Kia Forte EX+ for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.

Before you sign for the Forte

Owners filed 69 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, unknown or other and electrical system; have those parts checked. There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.

Under the hood

It runs the 2.0L 4-cylinder, with 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.

Combined fuel use is 7.1 L/100 km: about 21 litres for 300 km. Expect about $11.01 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,050 a year for 15,000 miles.

What to expect from the Forte

As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. Its 425 litres of luggage space fit a family's bags for a long weekend.

Good uses for the Forte

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.

Rent it for a week first

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.

The cost of driving it

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.01 in fuel.

Choosing the right one

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 you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.

A note on Java

Java is about 1,933 km from Toronto, outside our delivery area. We rent from Toronto only. If your trip to Java starts in the Toronto area, rent the car here.
