Most reliable car that I have owned

Well, I feel that it certainly needs a little more speed. I live in Killeen and a lot of the drivers pass me up like nothing. Definitely needs just a little more speed. Other than that it’s a great car... I found out that when you are driving the car sends a text to let the person know that you are driving right now. I love that feature! Saves on gas... thumbs up for that.

Lost marks because of many issues I've experienced

Before I had this car a month, and before it had 1500 miles it had three issues. It's a pain to need to keep taking a new car back to the dealer every week for another issue. 1st thing, the passenger windshield washer would spray on the underside of the hood and not hit the window. It went in the shop 3 times before they got it to work somewhat. This appears to be a design flaw which I hope the fix. 2nd, I started to receive "Key System Error" messages which concerned me because some owners of Nissan products actually got stuck when their vehicles would not start because of this error. 3rd, when driving back from a 90 mile out-of-town trip the front auto-breaking sensor malfunctioned. At least that is what the dash message reported. We had just come thru a heavy rain but when I checked the sensor it wasn't dirty or blocked. And, there is another message that will display if it is obscured. But it gave the malfunction message. It does get good gas mileage for an SUV but it also is very gutless and I would be careful passing on a two lane road or accelerating to avoid danger. Maybe it's a great in-town car.

Inside needs work.

Love to drive, but very few places to store items inside the car. Very small place for change but no places for items that should not be seen like wallets (Glove box not handy for driver). Cup holders too low and far back. Can’t safely reach for cup when driving. Very awkward.

Best car I ever owned

Love the car. Its smooth ride, gas economical, comfortable, roomy, the hands free phone capability is great, easy to figure out. Love the safety kicks, like the warning lights for cars in blind spots.

Smooth and Sporty

The car rides really well, and there is ample trunk space for beach gear and groceries. This car is very sporty and very easy to handle.

I want this car!

I am very interested in a Kicks and the dealership loaned one to me to test drive for a couple of days. It’s everything I want! I was concerned about the complaints Edmunds.com had about the seats being very uncomfortable but I think they feel comfy. I have a 40 minute work commute on busy highways in Tampa and it’s fun to drive w/great safety features! Plenty of get up and go.

Very comfortable ride

This car met all my needs. That's why I purchased it. Had a 2017 Juke, very sporty, but when purchasing my 2019 Kicks, there was no hesitation on my part for the comfort and style.
