Recalls and complaints

Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA has 69 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine, unknown or other and electrical system.

Specs, explained

Power comes from the 2.0L 4-cylinder, driving through an automatic (CVT). It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 21 litres, from its 7.1 L/100 km rating. A 300 km weekend costs about $33.03 in energy at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Who the Forte suits

It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

What the Forte is like

As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. Luggage space is 425 litres, enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.

Rent it for a week first

Rent the Forte for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. A test week in the Forte tells you more than any review. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.

Which one to look for

Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Compare the GT 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.

Money matters

Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $110.10 at our price setting.
