Car financing: 2019 Nissan Kicks S in Farmbrook

Buying the 2019 Nissan Kicks S

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2019 Nissan Kicks S for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Before you buy the 2019 Nissan Kicks S, here is what the figures say and what to look at.

Recalls and complaints

NHTSA has 134 owner complaints on file, mostly about forward collision avoidance, electrical system and engine. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.

What the specs mean

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.

Its combined rating is 7.2 L/100 km, which means roughly 22 litres for 300 km. Expect about $11.16 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,050 a year for 15,000 miles.

What the Kicks is like

As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. With 708 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.

Who the Kicks suits

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

A longer test drive

Rent the Kicks for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Kicks answers the big questions. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.

Money matters

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. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $111.60 at our price setting.

Narrowing it down

If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Compare the S with the other trims of the same year before you decide.
