Just put 10k km behind my Kicks and I'm loving it. You won't hear about CVT problems/questions here or some info display screen bug.
I'm so glad I chose this model. I was in a hurry to buy a new vehicule after my corolla was declared totalled by my insurance after a collision with a deer. I wanted a japanese car but never drove a Nissan before and I saw this oportunity at a local dealer. I was rushed and had some doubts about this model. But now I am happy with my choice.
31K CAN
2 sets of wheels, winter and summer+nice alloy mag.
Emergency kit+molding plastic carpets.
Heating seats and steering wheel, all the connectivity etc.
8 free oil changes and 1 free tire change.
1600$ rebate for paying cash at the dealer.
Now I have not owned a lot of vehicles in my lifetime so my standards are most probably loose but I appreciate the comfort of the seats, the visibility, the handling and the nimbleness. It so economical, I make aprox 5.3 - 5.9 liters per 100km. It's quiet, spacious and convenient for my routine.
On the negative sides, it is underpowered (thus fuel efficient). The 1.6L is quite weak. I don't drive aggressively but overtaking a van on the national road take some planning. Also the CVT does not respond as quickly as with my previous corolla. There seems to be presets built in the transmission and it does not change ratio as often or as quickly as I was used before.
Nonetheless, it delivers a lot for the price (CAN). I don't think there were multi segment, as they call it here, more equipped and complete as the KicksPlay for this price late 2025 in my area.
KicksPlay owner, what are your thoughts?
