    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.

    Before you sign for the Forte

    Owners filed 69 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, unknown or other and electrical system; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

    What the figures tell you

    The 2.0L 4-cylinder is what moves it, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

    Expect about 21 litres for every 300 km, going by its 7.1 L/100 km combined rating. 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 it is for

    It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.

    The Forte in everyday use

    It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. The trunk holds 425 litres by the EPA's count: a family's bags for a long weekend.

    A longer test drive

    A week with the Forte answers more than any brochure. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent the Forte for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.

    Choosing the right one

    Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. 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.

    Money matters

    Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
