Great vehicle for the price

I love my Kicks. Everything about it makes the purchase well worth it. I like the size of it too. I was looking for something that was roomier than my sedan but not as big as an suv. It gets gas mileage and has awesome safety features.

Great Car!

I love the new Nissan Kicks, it drives great, perfect suv size for me. And super cheap on gas, that doesn't drain your wallet when filling up for gas. and had great service at the car dealership at gate's nissan in Richmond, Ky.

Nice second car easy to drive

Great second car with excellent gas milage and comfortable seating. Good driver visibility and sporty steering ..lane warning signal system is spot on. Surprisingly decent "trunk" storage ...remote start is also convenient.

My Kick is fun to drive and reliable.

The Kick gets awesome gas mileage, in town 34mpg highway 37mpg. It has great turning radius The bucket seats wraps around and hugs you with great adjustability. The size is great not so small that you get lost in traffic and not so big that you get terrible gas mileage. The storage in the back is large enough for you to carry 4 large suitcases and 4 carryon pieces,and room to seat 4 adults comfortably. This Kick has no limitations. I absolutely Love my Kick!!!

Unbelievable value for the money

This car is exactly what I was looking for. I used to own a tiny coupe and I needed a more roomy car but I didn’t want to give up good gas mileage or a stylish look. The Kicks was perfect. It’s stylish, very roomy for its size, gets 31 mpg city and 36 mpg highway, and has two really cool digital screens (one normal touch screen for music, gps, etc. and another one in front of the driver to display rpm, tire pressure, mpg, etc). Now, if you are someone who needs a quick car, the kicks is not for you, since it has a measly 125 horsepower. But it’s not a heavy car so it accelerates just fine for me. With all of the pros that come with the car, it certainly makes up for the lack of speed. Handling is light and easy and it comfortably fits 4 people. Theres a lot of room in the trunk for grocery runs or for suitcases for road trips. It doesn’t have heated seats in my SV model but with automatic climate control I don’t have to worry about remembering to turn the heat/ac up or down. Overall it’s a great car. And for the price, I was blown away!

NOT WHAT I EXPECTED.

FOR THE SIZE WEIGHT AND MOTOR IN THIS UNIT I AM DISAPPOINTED WITH THE FUEL PERFORMANCE AND BACK SEAT LEG ROOM. I WOULD TAKE BACK MY 2014 TRADE IN IF I COULD.COSTLY MISTAKE.

Stylish

The car has nice interior. It has plenty of leg room. I like the color options to make my car unique looking. I also like the fact that the dealership can enhance my vehicle look at dealership.
