Auto loans: the 2021 Kia Forte GT

No 2021 Kia Forte GT 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. Here is the 2021 Kia Forte GT for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.

A buyer's checks

In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. NHTSA has 69 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine, unknown or other and electrical system. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.

Specs, explained

Its powertrain is 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.

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. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,050 a year for 15,000 miles.

Size and space

Being a mid-size car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. The trunk holds 425 litres by the EPA's count: a family's bags for a long weekend.

A good match for

It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.

Drive it on your own roads

Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. 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.

What it costs to run

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $110.10 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Picking a year and a trim

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Compare the GT 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.
