It really shocked me about how much i like this car so much. I thought the back leg space would be a killer but it’s really not that bad. I do love this car a lot. I want it to last a long time.

Seat Problems

Purchased a new 2021 Nissan Kicks SR in Jan. 2021. Only problems we have had with is the stitching coming loose on the leather seats . It has happened on 2 of the 4 seats so far . Nissan is finally replacing them after a long wait for parts . Car was also out of alignment from the factory which the dealer also fixed. At least Nissan is backing their product its warranty coverage . Just a nuisance to fix a new car .

Best Subcompact SUV

Nissan Kicks is a practical, economical, and beautiful crossover. It is relatively spacious and has great MPG (both cargo space and MPG are top 3 in subcompact segment). Not only it's two thousand dollar cheaper than its competitors HR-V and C-HR, it's equipped with more superior technology and safety features. Some people complain that Kicks is small and slow in acceleration, but this is not a fair complaint, as a subcompact SUV is by design going to be smaller in size. If you want a big vehicle with great acceleration, you either should shop for a large SUV or a sports car, as no subcompact crossover can meet that expectations. Overall, Kicks is a reliable, nimble, and stylish crossover, and anyone who is shopping for a subcompact SUV should seriously consider Kicks.

I’m having fun with my Nissan Kicks. I do mostly city driving and am not concerned with the time it takes to get to 60 mph.

Love my Kicks - Especially at gas pump!

I was not sure how I would like a 4-cylinder, use to much bigger engines, but the kicks has me sold! I previously had a Murano, which is still going at 180,000, but I really liked the looks, features, and price of the Kicks. I have a 2019 SR model and extremely pleased with the vehicle. I've gotten as high at 48 mpg, but average 38. Can't beat that these days. Roomy, comfortable and zero issues.
