We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2020 Nissan Kicks SR for sale by us right now. Before you buy the 2020 Nissan Kicks SR, here is what the figures say and what to look at.

A buyer's checks

Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Owners filed 97 complaints with NHTSA, most often about forward collision avoidance, electrical system and power train; have those parts checked.

Engine and fuel

The 1.6L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

The EPA rates it at 7.1 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 21 litres. Driving 300 km costs roughly $33.03 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,050 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Best uses

It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

What to expect from the Kicks

It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. The EPA measures its luggage space at 708 litres, roughly bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.

Try before you buy

Rent first, buy later: a week with the Kicks answers the big questions. Rent the Kicks first, and buy only if it fits your life. If the Kicks is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.

Which one to look for

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.

Running costs

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.01 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
