The 2022 Kia Forte LX for buyers

CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2022 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. Buying the 2022 Kia Forte LX is a big decision; here is the information we have.

What to check on the Forte

In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA has 28 owner complaints on file, mostly about unknown or other, engine and forward collision avoidance. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.

Engine and fuel

The powertrain here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive and 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.

The EPA rates it at 7.1 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 21 litres. In money, 1,000 km costs about $110.10 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,050 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Size and space

Being a mid-size car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. Luggage space is 425 litres, enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.

When the Forte makes sense

It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

Rent it for a week first

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. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.

The cost of driving it

A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $110.10 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

Narrowing it down

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. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.

A note on Java

If you are starting from Toronto, rent the car here and drive it to Java. We have no location in Java; CarmaCars rents from Toronto, about 1,639 km away.
