What to check on the Kicks

Owners filed 86 complaints with NHTSA, most often about unknown or other, forward collision avoidance and electrical system; have those parts checked. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. 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

Power comes from the 1.6L 4-cylinder, driving 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.

Expect about 22 litres for every 300 km, going by its 7.2 L/100 km combined rating. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $33.48 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,050 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

What the Kicks is like

As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. The trunk holds 708 litres by the EPA's count: bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.

Best uses

It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

Try before you buy

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. 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.

The cost of driving it

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. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.

Year and trim

Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
