What the figures tell you

The powertrain here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive and an automatic (CVT). It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

The combined figure, 7.1 L/100 km, means roughly 21 litres for 300 km. That works out to about $11.01 per 100 km at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

What the Forte is like

It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. At 425 litres, the trunk fits a family's bags for a long weekend.

Best uses

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

Drive it on your own roads

A week with the Forte answers more than any brochure. Rent the Forte first, and buy only if it fits your life. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.

What it costs to run

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

Choosing the right one

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
