Buying the 2021 Kia Forte EX

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

Before you sign for the Forte

There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA has 69 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine, unknown or other and electrical system.

The figures, translated

Under the hood: the 2.0L 4-cylinder and 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.

Combined fuel use is 7.1 L/100 km: about 21 litres for 300 km. A 300 km weekend costs about $33.03 in energy at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,050 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Living with the Forte

Being a mid-size car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. With 425 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes a family's bags for a long weekend.

When the Forte makes sense

It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.

A longer test drive

Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the Forte for a week and see how it fits your life. Drive the Forte on your commute before you commit to it.

Money matters

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. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

Year and trim

Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Compare the EX with the other trims of the same year before you decide. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
