What to check on the Kicks

A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Owners filed 86 complaints with NHTSA, most often about unknown or other, forward collision avoidance and electrical system; have those parts checked. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.

Reading the spec sheet

The 1.6L 4-cylinder does the work, through an automatic (CVT). It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 22 litres, from its 7.2 L/100 km rating. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $11.16. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,050 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Who the Kicks suits

What to expect from the Kicks

Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. With 708 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.

Year and trim

Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.16 in fuel. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $111.60 at our price setting.
