    The 2021 Kia Forte EX+: before you buy

    We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2021 Kia Forte EX+ for sale by us right now. Here is the 2021 Kia Forte EX+ for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.

    A buyer's checks

    Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

    The numbers in plain words

    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.

    It is rated at 7.1 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 21 litres. Driving 300 km costs roughly $33.03 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,050 a year for 15,000 miles.

    The Forte in everyday use

    As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. With 425 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes a family's bags for a long weekend.

    Who the Forte suits

    It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.

    Rent it for a week first

    Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. A week with the Forte answers more than any brochure. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Forte answers the big questions.

    Running costs

    The EPA estimates US$2,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. 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.

    Which one to look for

    If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.

    Renting for Java

    We rent from Toronto only. If your trip to Java starts in the Toronto area, rent the car here. CarmaCars is based in Toronto, about 1,933 km from Java, and does not deliver there.
