The 2021 Kia Forte EX for buyers

No 2021 Kia Forte EX is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. This page sets out the 2021 Kia Forte EX for buyers, in plain words.

A buyer's checks

Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. NHTSA has 69 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine, unknown or other and electrical system.

What the specs mean

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.

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. The EPA estimates US$2,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Space and size

It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. Its 425 litres of luggage space fit a family's bags for a long weekend.

Who the Forte suits

It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

Try before you buy

Rent the Forte for a week and see how it fits your life. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. A week with the Forte answers more than any brochure.

Money matters

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

Which one to look for

Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.

The Forte and Ruby

We rent from Toronto only. If your trip to Ruby starts in the Toronto area, rent the car here. Ruby is about 281 km from Toronto, outside our delivery area.
