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. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. For anyone shopping for the 2021 Kia Forte EX, here are the facts that matter.

Recalls and complaints

A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Owners filed 69 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, unknown or other and electrical system; have those parts checked. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

Engine and fuel

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.

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

When the Forte makes sense

It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.

Living with the Forte

Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. In plain terms, its 425 litres of luggage space hold a family's bags for a long weekend.

Drive it on your own roads

A test week in the Forte tells you more than any review. Rent the Forte for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Forte answers the big questions.

Choosing the right one

Compare the EX with the other trims of the same year before you decide. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.

Running costs

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.01 in fuel. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $110.10 at our price setting.

A note on Ruby

We rent from Toronto only. If your trip to Ruby starts in the Toronto area, rent the car here. CarmaCars is based in Toronto, about 281 km from Ruby, and does not deliver there.
