Thinking of buying the 2021 Kia Forte GT-Line?

Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. This page helps you judge the 2021 Kia Forte GT-Line before you buy one anywhere.

Before you sign for the Forte

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

What the figures tell you

Its powertrain 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.

A combined rating of 7.1 L/100 km works out to about 21 litres per 300 km. That works out to 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.

When the Forte makes sense

It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.

The Forte in everyday use

It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. Its 425 litre trunk is enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.

Rent it for a week first

If the Forte is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. A test week in the Forte tells you more than any review. Drive the Forte on your commute before you commit to it.

Narrowing it down

A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.

Running costs

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $110.10 at our price setting.
