Thinking of buying the 2021 Kia Forte EX?

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2021 Kia Forte EX 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. This page sets out the 2021 Kia Forte EX for buyers, in plain words.

What to check on the Forte

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. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.

Under the hood

The powertrain to know here 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.

Combined fuel use is 7.1 L/100 km: about 21 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $11.01, and a 300 km weekend about $33.03. The EPA estimates US$2,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Living with the Forte

It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. The trunk holds 425 litres by the EPA's count: a family's bags for a long weekend.

Who it is for

It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.

A longer test drive

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

The cost of driving it

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

Narrowing it down

Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
