Very happy and surprised all at once

Love my “new Kicks” very very quiet cabin, love all the safety tech, it’s not that slow and if I wanted to go fast I would drive my Acura. This is a great second car to drive around town in and save on gas. The seats are actually very very comfortable (not sure why edmunds seems to think they are not) I would take this car on a long drive and not think twice about it.

This vehicle has more power than you might think at first glance. I have to travel over a mountain every day to get to work, so I was curious to see how the 2021 Kicks would perform. I have not been disappointed at all! What a smooth ride and more than enough power to get me over the mountain and through the woods.

A great little car for the price

I average 34 mph (how is the other guy getting 39?), and that's better than the Rogue that I had. It's very zippy, accelerates well, and corners well. I recently drove it on a long road trip, (2 full days of driving), and felt fine at the end of each day. The front collision sensor is a little too sensitive, and it's annoying to have it slow down from my cruise control speed when it thinks that the vehicle is front is too close(it's not). Shifting into reverse is clunky. I would like more console storage. Overall I'm happy with my purchase.

The Kicks handles well

I had a Nissan Nuke for 7 years and loved it. It was the most reliable and fun to drive car I’ve ever owned. It looks as though the Kicks will do a great job as a follow up to the Juke.

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.
