Lease takeover: green 2018 Nissan Kicks SR in Yameri

Thinking of buying the 2018 Nissan Kicks SR?

No 2018 Nissan Kicks SR is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. We do not lease cars. A monthly rental has no long contract: each booking runs up to 365 days. This page puts the 2018 Nissan Kicks SR in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.

A buyer's checks

Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Owners filed 86 complaints with NHTSA, most often about unknown or other, forward collision avoidance and electrical system; have those parts checked. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.

What the figures tell you

The powertrain here is the 1.6L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive and 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.

The combined figure, 7.2 L/100 km, means roughly 22 litres for 300 km. A 300 km weekend costs about $33.48 in energy at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,050 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Space and size

As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. At 708 litres, the trunk fits bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.

Who it is for

It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

Rent it for a week first

If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. 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.

Running costs

A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. The EPA estimates US$2,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $111.60 at our price setting.

Year and trim

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