Car leasing: silver 2018 Nissan Kicks S in Java

Thinking of buying the 2018 Nissan Kicks S?

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2018 Nissan Kicks S; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. We do not lease cars. A monthly rental has no long contract: each booking runs up to 365 days. Here is what to know about the 2018 Nissan Kicks S before buying one.

A buyer's checks

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

What the figures tell you

The 1.6L 4-cylinder does the work, 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 7.2 L/100 km works out to about 22 litres per 300 km. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $33.48 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Best uses

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.

Size and space

Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. Its 708 litres of luggage space fit bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.

Rent it for a week first

Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. If the Kicks is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. A week with the Kicks answers more than any brochure.

Choosing the right one

Compare the S with the other trims of the same year before you decide. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.

What it costs to run

Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $111.60 at our price setting.

Java and the Kicks

If you need it in Java itself, send a request and we will tell you honestly whether we can help. Java is about 1,639 km from our Toronto location, beyond the area we deliver to.
