Car leasing: green 2019 Nissan Kicks SR in Farmbrook

The 2019 Nissan Kicks SR for buyers

We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2019 Nissan Kicks SR for sale by us right now. CarmaCars is not a leasing company. You can rent month to month and stop at the end of any booking. This page puts the 2019 Nissan Kicks SR in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.

Recalls and complaints

In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA has 134 owner complaints on file, mostly about forward collision avoidance, electrical system and engine. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.

The numbers in plain words

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.

Rated at 7.2 L/100 km combined, it needs around 22 litres for a 300 km round trip. A 300 km weekend costs about $33.48 in energy at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,050 a year for 15,000 miles.

Space, size and seats

It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. The EPA measures its luggage space at 708 litres, roughly bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.

Who rents the Kicks

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

Rent it for a week first

A test week in the Kicks tells you more than any review. A week with the Kicks answers more than any brochure. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.

What it costs to run

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.16 in fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $111.60 at our price setting.

Which one to look for

Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
