Recalls and complaints

Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Owners filed 69 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, unknown or other and electrical system; have those parts checked.

Under the hood

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.

It is rated 7.1 L/100 km combined: about 21 litres every 300 km. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $110.10. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,050 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Who the Forte suits

It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

Size and space

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

Try before you buy

A test week in the Forte tells you more than any review. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Forte answers the big questions. Rent the Forte for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.

Narrowing it down

Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Compare the EX with the other trims of the same year before you decide. 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. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
