Auto loans: red 2018 Nissan Kicks SR in Yameri

Thinking of buying the 2018 Nissan Kicks SR?

CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2018 Nissan Kicks SR for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Buying the 2018 Nissan Kicks SR is a big decision; here is the information we have.

A buyer's checks

A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. There are 1 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Owners filed 86 complaints with NHTSA, most often about unknown or other, forward collision avoidance and electrical system; have those parts checked.

The figures, translated

The powertrain here is the 1.6L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive and 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.

The EPA rates it at 7.2 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 22 litres. In money, 1,000 km costs about $111.60 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Space and size

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. The EPA lists 708 litres for luggage, roughly bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.

Who it is for

It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

Rent it for a week first

Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent the Kicks for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.

Running costs

The EPA estimates US$2,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.16 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

Picking a year and a trim

Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.

The Kicks and Yameri

If you are starting from Toronto, rent the car here and drive it to Yameri. Yameri is about 3,364 km from our Toronto location, beyond the area we deliver to.
