The 2021 Kia Forte EX for buyers

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2021 Kia Forte EX for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. The 2021 Kia Forte EX for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.

What to check on the Forte

Owners filed 69 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, unknown or other and electrical system; have those parts checked. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

What the specs mean

Power comes from the 2.0L 4-cylinder, driving through an automatic (CVT). It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

The combined figure, 7.1 L/100 km, means roughly 21 litres for 300 km. In money, 1,000 km costs about $110.10 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,050 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Who the Forte suits

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.

Space, size and seats

As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. The EPA lists 425 litres for luggage, roughly a family's bags for a long weekend.

Try before you buy

If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Try the Forte on your commute, then decide. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.

Year and trim

Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.

What it costs to run

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. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.01 in fuel.
