    I had one of these as a rental when someone totaled my car, it was actually kind of fun to scoot around in. Handled winter decently too.

    I purchased a brand new 2023 Nissan Kicks SR with Premium Package in Boulder Gray Pearl back in October of 2023 and I have to say I am thoroughly impressed with my new Nissan. The longer I own it the more I appreciate how good of a car it really is for the price. I find more and more little things it does and I tell you its good all kind of features especially on the safety front. It does everything so well and is just a really well rounded vehicle that is an unbeatable value especially in features per dollar. I live my Kicks! Comfort: The front seats are so comfortable and just hold you perfectly and support your back and legs so well (I am 5’11”). I usually have issues with seats not supporting my thighs because I have long legs. Not in the Kicks, its seats support the back of my thighs perfectly. The 2024 Altima SR I had drove had a much shorter bottom seat cushion it seemed and my thighs were not supported and were up off the seat at a weird angle no matter how I adjusted the power seat. Now the Sentra SR seats were excellent and had a long supportive bottom seat cushion and were even a tad better than the Kicks seats. But anyway the seats in the Kicks I love and are perfect to me lol. Also the multicolor Primatex Synthetic Leather material used on the top trim SR with Premium Package is so durable lookibg and feeling with such a sporty flare. You can tell they will hold up very well compared to true leather and they have not sagged, creased or got shiny at all like a lot of real leathers do on the seat bolster getting in and out. My 2021 Mitsubishi Mirage SE top trim that I traded on this Kicks had neat premium plaid cloth seats with leatherette bolsters and after 2.5 years of owning it the seats had not one sign of wear, no creasing, no shininess and no sagging and in the top trim Mirage SE the material is very thick and durable like this Kicks. The front area in the Kicks is so roomy with tons of legroom and I and headroom its crazy. I keep the bottom part of the seat in its half way back/forth position and the pump action height adjustment I keep in the lowest position. If I slide the driver seat all the way back I cannot push the pedals thats how much seat travel they give lol. However it slides back soooo far that it eliminates rear leg room lol. I have long legs and am almost 6 ft and in my seating position I can sit behind my self with room to spare. The rear seats are just as comfortable and you sit very high looking over the front seats and like I said I still have a ton of head and leg room behind my driving position. I know some cars have what they call stadium seating in the rear but I have never experienced it as much as in the Kicks as you sit very high and way above the front seats and if you get car sick (I hate riding in the rear seat) it really helps because you do not feel like your in the back seat and are up high and not claustrophobic feeling at all. Even still there is a ton of headroom. Back in the front seat like I said I keep the height adjustment in its lowest position like I do in all vehicles I own and its perfect for me and leaves a ton of headroom above my head like several inches. Everything in the Kicks is just placed in easy reach and is so easy to use and understand. It fits me perfectly. Cargo: The cargo area is huge for such a small vehicle at 169 inches long. It has 25 cubic feet and can hold so much more than you realize and even the sides of the cargo area are carpeted which keeps the car quieter and prevents getting those ugly scratch marks. It also has 2 built in bag holders and a very heavy duty solid cargo cover. The cargo cover only comes standard when you get the top trim SR and add the $1,400.00 Premium Package which I did. Features: Where do I begin. This top trim SR with the $1,400.00 Premium Package is loaded for such a small car and comes in under $26,000.00. It has things like rear parking sensors, 360 surround view cameras, rear automatic emergency braking (rare in vehicles under $40K) for parking and works damn well, heated front seats, heated steering wheel, 8 speaker Bose audio system with 2 neat speakers built into the drivers seat headrest, 8 inch audio touch screen, 7 inch half digital gauge cluster screen that does all kind of things, led headlights, led tail lights, led fog lights, 17 inch alloy wheels, push button start, remote start with intelligent climate control that heats or cools the car and even heats your seats and steering wheel and it bases what it does on the outside temp, auto digital climate control, auto up down drive and front passenger windows, nissan Connect Telematics, super sharp Primatex synthetic leather seats that are light gray and charcoal with orange accent stitching, primatex dash pad, rear seat occupancy alert reminder and so much more. This thing is loaded for under $26,000.00 with features reserved for more expensive vehicles.i absolutely love its 8 speaker Bose personal audio system it sounds amazing and looks cool too with the driver seat headrests. The 360 surround view camera system with multiple views makes parking a snap too. I just love everything about my Kicks. Safety Features: Wow does this Kicks have the safety features and they work very well and do not miss a beat. Lane departure warning with haptic steering wheel, forward collision alert and auto braking, rear collision alert and auto braking, rear cross traffic alert, pedestrian detection, blind spot warning, auto high beams, led lighting systems, park assist, 360 surround view camera, dynamic control module for engine braking (SR only) - ride control and pitch (SR only) - handling with active trace and yaw control (SR only), abs, electric parking brake with auto hold feature, stability and traction control, digital tire pressure display for all 4 tires, easy tire fill with horn alert, radar adaptive cruise control, Nissan Telematics with SOS button and automatic crash notification, 10 airbags, zero gravity seats, security system and more!!! Driving: The Kicks really impresses me with how it drives. Another thing that really impresses me is its sound build quality as the vehicle has absolutely no squeaks or rattles even when super cold out and just has a solid feel. This CUV does not have a wallow type ride like our Eclipse Cross SUV does to the point there is to much movement that can make you sick. The Kicks is planted and firm yet has a great ride and handles bumps and all very well. I know the SR has the dynamic module thing for ride control adjustments, torque vectoring using the brakes and active engine braking using the CVT and engine but I am not sure if the suspension on the SR (sporty trim lol) is any different than in the S or SV trim. But the point is it has a good ride which a lot of online reviews agree with. Thats impressive for its size and price. Like I said the Kicks drives with a very solid feel and has great steering thats very direct and communicative and very well controlled. It has a nice ride height too with 7 inches of ground clearance which is pretty good for a small CUV. The driving position and visibility are amazing and it had a huge windshield and huge windows all around. As far as power goes it does pretty good and has a very low reving engine while cruising and becomes very quiet. Also its idle is very quiet. The windshield wipers front and rear work great and the driver side wiper is huge and sweeps like every inch of the windshield for maximum visibility. The rear wiper has 2 settings which is nice, an intermittent speed and a constant steady speed. It gets great MPGs too and does better than most all in its class. On the highway it can get close to 40 mpg which is amazing. CVT (JF015E-RE0F11B Jatco CVT 7) Engine (HR16DE -1.6L 4 Cylinder) The CVT which everyone knows about and complains is a major sore point for Nissan unfortunately. I know they had issues years back on past generation Jatco CVTs but they have improved tremendously. My last 3 Mitsubishi Mirages (2015, 2017, 2021) all had the same Jatco CVT-7 as the Nissan Kicks and I had no issues. In fact our last 7 vehicle’s have all had Jatco produced CVTs with no issues and our 2019 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross SEL Touring with S-AWC is 5 years old now and we have had no issues with its Jatco sourced CVT. I really like the programming of the CVT-7 in the Nissan Kicks and it really feels neat. It drives like a true geared automatic transmission with simulated fake shift points that make the car feel more responsive and fun. I love it. Also on the SR you have the active engine braking, active trace control and active ride management. As for the engine in the Kicks it is the HR16DE and has been around since like 2004! Of course over the years it has had several major updates and little tweaks but is still the same basic engine. I personally like that as it’s a simple older style proven powertrain. I have no issues with that.
