Car leasing: the 2021 Kia Forte EX

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2021 Kia Forte EX; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars is not a leasing company. You can rent month to month and stop at the end of any booking. For anyone shopping for the 2021 Kia Forte EX, here are the facts that matter.

Before you sign for the Forte

Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

The numbers in plain words

It is powered by 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.

It is rated 7.1 L/100 km combined: about 21 litres every 300 km. That works out to about $11.01 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,050 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Space, size and seats

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. Its 425 litre trunk is enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.

Is it right for your trip?

It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.

Rent it for a week first

Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. 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.

Money matters

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.01 in fuel. 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.

Which one to look for

A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
