The 2021 Kia Forte LX: before you buy

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. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Here is what to know about the 2021 Kia Forte LX before buying one.

What to check on the Forte

NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. NHTSA has 69 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine, unknown or other and electrical system. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

Reading the spec sheet

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.

At 7.1 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 21 litres of fuel. For 1,000 km, budget about $110.10 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,050 a year for 15,000 miles.

Inside and out

Being a mid-size car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. In plain terms, its 425 litres of luggage space hold a family's bags for a long weekend.

Good uses for the Forte

It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.

Try before you buy

If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the Forte for a week and see how it fits your life.

Running costs

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. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.

Narrowing it down

A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Compare the LX with the other trims of the same year before you decide. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.

Ruby and the Forte

We have no location in Ruby; CarmaCars rents from Toronto, about 1,626 km away. If you are starting from Toronto, rent the car here and drive it to Ruby.
