Buying the 2021 Kia Forte EX Premium

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2021 Kia Forte EX Premium for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. For anyone shopping for the 2021 Kia Forte EX Premium, here are the facts that matter.

What to check on the Forte

NHTSA has 69 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine, unknown or other and electrical system. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.

Engine and fuel

It is powered by 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.

Expect about 21 litres for every 300 km, going by its 7.1 L/100 km combined rating. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $11.01. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,050 a year for 15,000 miles.

How big it is

It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. Luggage space is rated at 425 litres: a family's bags for a long weekend.

Good uses for the Forte

It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

Drive it on your own roads

Drive the Forte on your commute before you commit to it. If the Forte is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. A week with the Forte answers more than any brochure.

The cost of driving it

A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.01 in fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.

Choosing the right one

Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.

The Forte and Patsy

If you are starting from Toronto, rent the car here and drive it to Patsy. Patsy is about 1,196 km from Toronto, outside our delivery area.
