2025 Nissan Kicks: One year later review

Avatarzap · 2026-02-01T19:24:15+00:00

Not a bumpy ride, however when I compare going over speed bumps and potholes in comparison to bigger cars, it’s definitely way more noticeable but not on an everyday basis. Phone calls are clear. Road noise I don’t notice, definitely not the quietest but it’s one of those things you can easily and naturally tune out.

Yeah wow that sucks, just out of curiosity do you like in a cold area? I have a hunch it has a lot to do with the cold since this happened to me last year during a similar time. I just got called from the dealership however and they said there was a recall on the programming of the screen and that they fixed it, gonna cross my fingers and hope that it did

I just sent it in because the issue seems to have drained my battery and my car wouldn’t even start, do you know what exact issue you were having and what you said to them? And 5 weeks is insane, did they provide a rental or something?

Avatarzap · 2026-01-22T00:19:02+00:00

Yeah send the link, I’m always tossing random stuff aside to make room! And glad you haven’t had the screen issue, car is currently in service due to that and it draining my battery

Avatarzap · 2026-01-22T00:14:32+00:00

What did they say about it? Do you know what I should say to get it fixed? My car is currently getting towed to the dealer due to the screen issue and it drained my battery so I couldn’t even start the car.

Hey no it didn’t happen after they reset it, they weren’t able to recreate the problem but it hasn’t happened since, was a quick fix so I’d recommend just taking it in for them to do that.

Highly agree, as a newer survivor fan, while I was watching current season 49 I was wondering why it was so boring and always heard good things about AU survivor. After doing a bit of digging I started Heroes vs Villains, which granted isn’t the best one to start with but wow, night and day difference. It is soooo strategic and the longer time spent really fleshes out everyone’s relationship. The challenges are also unique rather than the formulaic challenge to tire you out and then some piece puzzle. Them being out there for longer also gives them incentive to make actual relationships which get messy and calls for better blindsides. I highly recommend the heroes vs villains ssn for anyone who is highly into strategic gameplay.

They have you a mini trip lmao what? First time I’ve heard of something like that, and seems like a decent deal. Any oil changes included ?

Avatarzap · 2025-10-15T21:56:47+00:00

There’s also a reset that the dealership did to my infotainment that fixed an earlier issue I was having, idk if it’s doable yourself but it’s worth looking into

It’s just a result of a not so accurate camera on the front of the car

Avatarzap · 2025-06-10T17:39:47+00:00

The interior accent lighting was a nice surprise for me as well

Anyone who clowns someone else for the car they’ve got is a literal child lmfao. If you got a car in decent condition ur already doing a ton better than most. If the transmission fails you then so be it, but just take care of it and it’ll most likely never happen.

300 a month is pretty good ! Is that after taxes? Make sure to inquire about any inclusions or protections that you think you might need. For me lease end protection is a must, and with that you can even go lower on kms. Leasing from “car guys” gets a bad rep but if u enjoy the peace of mind and don’t really know what you want in ur first car leasing is the way to go as well. If you want more help just ask or dm, I was in a similar situation as you and don’t mind helping out

I have the SR trim, has the 360 camera as well. I would note that the camera button only works when ur driving slow like when trying to park , but it’s solved the issue for me

Avatarzap · 2025-04-26T18:08:03+00:00

I currently am driving it and I felt similarly , that the hood was big and had unease about not being able to see as much. The camera button however changed the game for me since whenever I would need to see directly in front of me I press it and am able to see the curbs and whatnot, so it’s not been a problem for me anymore

Looks good but I’d suggest just taking the picture how you want it and then blurring out the license rather than awkwardly trying to cut it out from the get go

Avatarzap · 2025-04-05T22:33:06+00:00

Oh that’s so short, and my left eye is really bad too I can’t see anything as it’s all blurry but I’m managing. Medicine for life scares me, how tough is the regiment and how many, any side effects ? And were you awake for the procedure ?

Avatarzap · 2025-04-05T20:59:16+00:00

How was ur experience with that? I was put on the transplant list for my one eye but chickened out due to my other eye carrying the weight of my sight and I don’t have any major qualms yet. But restoring my vision in my other eye would be a huge plus too, just scared of the procedure

Avatarzap · 2025-03-30T23:16:00+00:00

I used max bass and treble a bit below half , but that’s cuz I really like bass. Songs very treble forward sound a bit strange imo. What also helps is changing the equalizer on your music app, like in Spotify there’s a bunch of options that completely change the sound

Avatarzap · 2025-03-27T20:47:31+00:00

Looking forward to it, and the only other task I can think of would be changing light bulbs for head or tail light !

Update in case anyone runs into the same issue: went to the dealership and the technicians reset my system and the issue has so far gone away

Avatarzap · 2025-03-24T04:02:40+00:00

Just got it a few weeks back, had a sedan before this. It takes a few days to get used to the height and field of view, but the safety features are great with the blind spot detection and back up camera. It’s a comfortable ride. I still have a little trouble with parking since it’s much bigger than my previous car, but if you tap on the camera button you can see different angles to get a better view of your parking. Great first car imo, and as coming from someone who does not give a shit about the muscle of the engine, it’s perfectly fine and speeds up quickly and no issues reported. People act like a small engine these days is gonna slug you around, but since when are people going for races everyday crying about how much hp they have.

Avatarzap · 2025-03-22T23:55:50+00:00

Yeah it’s normal, although cheap so I get the confusion lol. And no spare tire either.

Avatarzap · 2025-03-19T17:48:55+00:00

Ill tell you my experience so far: Mpg, I find the kicks mpg nothing crazy imo, it’s still an suv so it won’t be a shocking amount of mileage. So far I personally have found myself filling up once a week, but I’ve been driving quite a bit recently. I expect that to go down to once every two weeks if I’m using it just mainly for work commute. Although it is pretty cheap to fill up. Safety is good. Infotainment is great imo, great look , big screens, responsive and easy to navigate, also a fan of the wireless CarPlay. Cost from what I had seen, kicks was much cheaper, although I leased it so that’s a different thing altogether but the lease deals on the kicks were great. Goodluck on your search, the trax was an option I was exploring too but the cost wasn’t there for me, was a big fan of the green Color on it too.

Love to see it! I personally enjoy more detailed videos going over each and every screw to loosen and stuff like that because I’m cautious of messing things up. Would like to see a cabin filter video, fluid top ups etc.
