The figures, translated

The powertrain here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive and an automatic (CVT). It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

The combined figure, 7.1 L/100 km, means roughly 21 litres for 300 km. A 300 km weekend costs about $33.03 in energy at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

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.

Who it is for

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.

Drive it on your own roads

Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. 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.

Running costs

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. The EPA estimates US$2,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Which one to look for

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