Thinking of buying the 2021 Kia Forte GT?

CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2021 Kia Forte GT for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. For anyone shopping for the 2021 Kia Forte GT, here are the facts that matter.

Recalls and complaints

Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.

What the figures tell you

Its powertrain is the 2.0L 4-cylinder with 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.

Fuel use is rated 7.1 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 21 litres. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $33.03 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,050 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Is it right for your trip?

It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

What the Forte is like

It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. In plain terms, its 425 litres of luggage space hold a family's bags for a long weekend.

Rent it for a week first

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.

Which one to look for

Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.

What it costs to run

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. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.

Java and the Forte

Java is about 1,933 km from Toronto, outside our delivery area. If you are starting from Toronto, rent the car here and drive it to Java.
