Not kicking my Kicks

Very good value and surprising standard features (rear view cam, blind spot warning, bluetooth, Sirius XM, are just a few of the things I like. I am a senior citizen and I get odd looks when I exit the vehicle (I guess people are expecting a younger driver). After a month of using I have enjoyed it. Nice job Nissan Corp, but not good follow up by the dealer (Modern Nissan of Cornelius, N.C. With now over 7800 miles all is well. Good value but only negative is the short warranty of 1 year or 10000 miles.

Buy it you will love it. What can I say it's a great car, handles well, brakes well, loaded with safety features. The only thing I miss from my previous car is automatic day time running lights. I find no problem with the engine, seems peppy to me. It really feels sold on the road and take the bumps around Tucson in a grand manner. Lots of head room, easy to enter and get out of. I wish I would have looked at Nissan years ago.

Most Bang for the Buck

This is a great vehicle. I left the lot with the Premium Package SR for @ 22k. Apple Car Play, Bose Stereo, Surround Rearview Cam, Blind Spot Monitoring, cargo and roominess from a small SUV are awesome. Acceleration is fine. Had to brake on a dime and it stopped quick. Gas mileage is great. Small fuel tank fills her up for @ $20. Nissan scored huge on this one. Buy it.

There's ALOT to love about the Kicks, but there's also some things that weren't seemingly thought out very well. I bought mine brand new, with just 13 miles on it. My average mpg is 32, mostly in town driving. Best mpg was on cruise control @ 60 mph, I got 44.5 mpg. I also have a problem with my front end collision sensor. It shuts off the radar, bcz the sensor becomes 'blocked' in the rain and has randomly come on while sitting still, in line, at a stoplight. The cameras/sensors are phenomenal, altho the back up camera often gets partially obstructed by rain. The stereo is also phenomenal, even on it's loudest, there's no distortion or rattling. I wish it had GPS on the touch-screen. Also, the front seats have no lumbar support adjustment, so they can become uncomfortable on longer trips. There's no rain guards on the windows. When you fold the back seats down, they are about 2" higher than the 'trunk' space, so it doesn't offer a flat surface. And, the back hatch can only be opened manually... a foot release or interior lever release would've been helpful. The remote start is GREAT. My 6' son has plenty of room in the backseat. Also, the back seat can hold 1 carseat & 2 children comfortably. Overall, I really LOVE #MyKicks, but have already decided that after paying on it for a year, I will trade it in, hopefully for a newer (2020) model, that has a little less inconveniences or for something different, if they haven't addressed these 'issues'. All-in-all, the Kicks is an excellent value, with plenty of phenomenal features, for it's price.
