Thinking of buying the 2021 Kia Forte EX+?

CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2021 Kia Forte EX+ for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. Here is the 2021 Kia Forte EX+ for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.

What to check on the Forte

Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Owners filed 69 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, unknown or other and electrical system; have those parts checked.

Under the hood

The engine is the 2.0L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive and an automatic (CVT). It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

It is rated at 7.1 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 21 litres. A 300 km weekend costs about $33.03 in energy at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Inside and out

As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. Its 425 litre trunk is enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.

Is it right for your trip?

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.

Drive it on your own roads

Drive the Forte on your commute before you commit to it. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.

Running costs

The EPA estimates US$2,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $110.10 at our price setting. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.01 in fuel.

Year and trim

Compare the EX+ with the other trims of the same year before you decide. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
