Lease takeover: the 2022 Kia Forte LX

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2022 Kia Forte LX; 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. This page sets out the 2022 Kia Forte LX for buyers, in plain words.

Recalls and complaints

Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. NHTSA has 28 owner complaints on file, mostly about unknown or other, engine and forward collision avoidance.

What the figures tell you

The engine 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.

Plan on about 21 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 7.1 L/100 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.

The Forte in everyday use

It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. Luggage space is 425 litres, enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.

A good match for

It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

Drive it on your own roads

If the Forte is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent the Forte first, and buy only if it fits your life. A week with the Forte answers more than any brochure.

Money matters

The EPA estimates US$2,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.01 in fuel.

Choosing the right one

Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Compare the LX with the other trims of the same year before you decide.

Java and the Forte

Java is about 1,639 km from Toronto, outside our delivery area. We rent from Toronto only. If your trip to Java starts in the Toronto area, rent the car here.
