A buyer's checks

A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Owners filed 97 complaints with NHTSA, most often about forward collision avoidance, electrical system and power train; have those parts checked.

What the specs mean

Its 1.6L 4-cylinder drives through an automatic (CVT). It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

A combined rating of 7.1 L/100 km works out to about 21 litres per 300 km. In money, 1,000 km costs about $110.10 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,050 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

When the Kicks makes sense

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.

Living with the Kicks

As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. Its 708 litres of luggage space fit bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.

Rent it for a week first

Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. If the Kicks is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Try the Kicks on your commute, then decide.

Which one to look for

Compare the S with the other trims of the same year before you decide. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
