What to check on the Kicks

A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Owners filed 78 complaints with NHTSA, most often about structure, forward collision avoidance and unknown or other; have those parts checked. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

Under the hood

Power: the 1.6L 4-cylinder; drive: front-wheel drive. 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. For 1,000 km, budget about $110.10 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,050 a year for 15,000 miles.

Who it is for

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.

Inside and out

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

A longer test drive

A test week in the Kicks tells you more than any review. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Kicks answers the big questions. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.

Narrowing it down

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.

Running costs

The EPA estimates US$2,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $110.10 at our price setting.
