The 2021 Kia Forte EX Premium: before you buy

We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2021 Kia Forte EX Premium for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Here is what to know about the 2021 Kia Forte EX Premium before buying one.

A buyer's checks

Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Owners filed 69 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, unknown or other and electrical system; have those parts checked.

The figures, translated

The powertrain to know here 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.

It is rated at 7.1 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 21 litres. For 1,000 km, budget about $110.10 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,050 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

What the Forte is like

Being a mid-size car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. Its 425 litre trunk is enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.

Good uses for the Forte

It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. 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

Rent the Forte for a week and see how it fits your life. A week with the Forte answers more than any brochure. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.

The cost of driving it

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $110.10 at our price setting. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.01 in fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.

Narrowing it down

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.

Ruby and the Forte

Ruby is about 2,375 km from Toronto, outside our delivery area. We rent from Toronto only. If your trip to Ruby starts in the Toronto area, rent the car here.
