Compact SUV, lots of space, leg room, great style

This SUV although not AWD or 4WD, has a smooth engine and acceleration. It is comfortable and built to not feel like an SUV. It has speakers on the head rests, an arm rest on the drivers seat, heated seats, and a sound system that sounds crisp and professional. has several power outlets, as wells as USB and AUX inputs. Has a very long/large sunroof/moonroof... LOVE this suv!

I love it!!!!

This car met all my needs and aspirations and the value is a total bargain. It is small enough to feel comfortable in it, yet it is high enough to ride comfortably without the need to feel like climbing

Fun, sporty, and spacious

This car is big for it's small size, and has quite a bit of kick! I drive over a mountain to work every day and I am averaging 31 MPG! I am six feet tall, and can point my toes when I'm in the driver's seat! It's the best car I've owned except for my 1997 pathfinder, which never died! And my freinds are all loving it! Great value for the dollar!

Cool little ride

My Kicks is sweet! It has a lot of features I've never had in a vehicle & ones that I wouldn't have expected for the price. The fuel economy is great, it rides smoothly, handles very well & looks pretty sleek.

Most stylish car I?ve ever owned.

I got a lot of compliments for its stylish exterior. It has enough space for my 2wks groceries and shopping. I felt secured with all its safety devices like blindspot warning device .

Not an Owner Yet

Looks like a nice SUV. I?ve been told that the Kicks is made with a manual transmission, but that model is not available in the United States and I cannot get one. This is unfortunate and wish this would change.

Styling, Manuverability, Capacity and Mileage

Stylish, highly maneuverable, good cargo capacity and exceptional mileage for a mini-SUV. Nearly full compliment of electronics and electronic safety features. Exceeded my expectations of engine responsiveness as compared to reviews. Steering and handling very good compared to previous small sedan. A wonderful vehicle to drive.

My Nissan kicks rocks!

I love this car! Style inside and out- It's comfortable, fun to drive, great on gas..... I'm very happy with this purchase. The dealership Stateline Nissan in East Providence, RI was wonderful to deal with.
