Specs, explained

The 2.0L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

Its combined rating is 7.1 L/100 km, which means roughly 21 litres for 300 km. Expect about $11.01 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,050 a year for 15,000 miles.

Room inside

Being a mid-size car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. At 425 litres, the trunk fits a family's bags for a long weekend.

When the Forte makes sense

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.

Rent it for a week first

A test week in the Forte tells you more than any review. Rent the Forte for a week and see how it fits your life. Rent the Forte for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.

The cost of driving it

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.01 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $110.10 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Narrowing it down

Compare the EX+ with the other trims of the same year before you decide. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.

A note on Java

We have no location in Java; CarmaCars rents from Toronto, about 1,933 km away. We rent from Toronto only. If your trip to Java starts in the Toronto area, rent the car here.
