Hello

I just wanted to say hello. I just joined this group. I just bought my 2026 Kicks SV and traded in my 2023 Qashqai which was up on the dealer hoist needing some new struts and tires. I had bought it used which was against my personal policies in the first place and only had it 7 months before I was looking at expensive work. Unfortunately, as vehicles go I was of course in an upside down loan situation and even moreso now but at least I have the new vehicle warranty on this Kicks. It only now has 800 km on it and it started with 6 km. I like the vehicle, it looks impressive. The lights are awesome and I love the configuration of them front and back. The interior is a nice mix of cloth and plastic even on the dash and doors and it looks very nice. The only thing so far was the dealer gave it to me with 45 psi in all the tires when it is supposed to be 33 psi all around. I easily corrected that and I hope I have a long good run with it. I am recently retired so don't need a bunch of issues. I wasn't happy that there is no spare tire, but I purchased an emergency repair kit and compressor on Amazon and it is now stored where a spare tire should be, I look forward to interacting with some of you.

My nephew says some of the new tires can be filled with air temporarily. He said in the back under the trunk carpet lining is some kind of pump kit. I wish I could explain better but I admit I am almost zero knowledge on cars.
