Great car for those looking to "downsize"

This is a perfect size for adults with grown kids who don't need tons of back seat room or a third row seat but still want the utility to be able to pick up "stuff" when needed. What shocked me after driving others in this class was the front seat room. I'm 6'2" and am completely comfortable driving this, with room to spare. And for me, the firm seats are perfect, very good with a lower back that is finicky in seating. And I can easily zip in and out of any small, tight parking spaces. Sure, as others have said, it's not a powerful car, but if you're like me and virtually all your driving is around town with only the occasional road trip, it's just fine. The best bang for your buck I could find in the subcompact/small SUV class.

Alot of bang for a few bucks!

Great gas mileage, easy handling and a really good-looking car! I test drove similiar vehicles before deciding on the Nissan Kicks, but none could match the versatility and leg room.

Great car for my young adult girls to drive

We loved the safety specs on this car and wanted something that was small enough to get around in and park but also feel safe on major roads. Love the blind side alert and lane drift alert on the 2020 Nissan Kick.

So far, so excellent.

I liked it. More importantly, WIFEY liked it. She knew what she wanted, we got it, and she loves it. She allowed my one pity drive and it was roomy, smooth driving, and she feels safe in it. For the win!

I love my new car! Love the storage space!

This car definitely meets my needs. It fit my budget and has lots of extras I didn’t expect. It’s got plenty of room and a lot of storage space. I love driving it!

Cardboard box with wheels

My daughter in law rented a kick to drive from SC to MA. We were talking to her on the way up and said this car is a cardboard box with wheels. I had a good laugh, but never asked what the car was. When she drove up the driveway, I just laughed! A kick! She said it was very uncomfortable and the so call "safety features" were vibrating the car everytime she got close to the dotted line in the road and everytime she changed lanes on the Hyway. I should have stopped and disengage the "nanny system" The so called safety features are designed for stupid people!.. She said she was constantly stopping for gas; either a small tank or lousy mileage. I told her when I left SC to drive back home, I stopped twice; Northern VA and up on the NY truway. I got home with a half tank. My Chevy Cruze is the BEST compact car compared to any Asian car.

Great Vehicle

The car rides well, solid, great cargo space and passenger. The car just needs a little more pick up and bigger gas tank. If you can get passed that it's a great car. Great style as well.
