Car leasing: grey 2021 Nissan Kicks SV in Farmbrook

Thinking of buying the 2021 Nissan Kicks SV?

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2021 Nissan Kicks SV; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars is not a leasing company. You can rent month to month and stop at the end of any booking. Here is the 2021 Nissan Kicks SV for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.

Before you sign for the Kicks

In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Owners filed 78 complaints with NHTSA, most often about structure, forward collision avoidance and unknown or other; have those parts checked. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.

Specs, explained

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 21 litres for every 300 km, going by its 7.1 L/100 km combined rating. A 300 km weekend costs about $33.03 in energy at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,050 a year for 15,000 miles.

When the Kicks makes sense

It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

Room inside

Being a mid-size car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. Luggage space is rated at 708 litres: bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.

Drive it on your own roads

Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the Kicks first, and buy only if it fits your life.

Narrowing it down

A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. 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.

Running costs

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.01 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $110.10 at our price setting. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.

The Kicks and Farmbrook

Farmbrook is about 544 km from Toronto, outside our delivery area. If you are starting from Toronto, rent the car here and drive it to Farmbrook.
