Buying the 2021 Kia Forte LX

CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2021 Kia Forte LX for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. 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 the 2021 Kia Forte LX for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.

A buyer's checks

A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. 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. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.

Specs, explained

The 2.0L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

Plan on about 21 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 7.1 L/100 km. Every 100 km costs about $11.01 in fuel at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,050 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Who it is for

It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.

How big it is

Being a mid-size car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. Luggage space is rated at 425 litres: 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. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Forte answers the big questions.

Which one to look for

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.

The cost of driving it

Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$2,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
