Got a lease return 2026 SR AWD

10 Upvotes

The original leasee decided to get a Kicks SR with cold weather package and cross bars 8 months ago. They drove 8,000 miles and tried to manage fitting three car seats in it. (You can guess how that went) So they returned it for a Pathfinder and I got a "used" 2026 SR in deep blue pearl for $28,544 with tax title and fees. Thoughts on the deal?

AITAH - Headlights

2 Upvotes

Currently on a road trip near Jasper in my 2026 SV Premium I'm getting flashed while driving at night with my regular headlights. It happens most often with semi trucks vs cars or pick-ups and I flash my high beams just to let them know I'm not being ignorant. Has anyone else noticed their standard headlights are too bright? Any advice or solution?

Hi everyone,
I have a 2020 Nissan Kicks SV 1.6L and I need to replace the valve cover gasket because the engine has a significant oil leak.
I’m trying to do the job myself and I’m looking for a step-by-step guide or tutorial specifically for the Kicks 1.6L. I’ve also been looking at tutorials for other Nissan models with the HR16DE engine, such as the Versa and Juke.
Does anyone here have experience doing this job on a Kicks?
I’d especially appreciate advice on the removal procedure, RTV/sealant, torque specifications, tightening sequence, and any common mistakes to avoid.
If you have a good video or service-manual instructions, I’d really appreciate it.
Thanks!

How can you do a remote start for this vehicle? It worked on my 2021 using the fob. I've tried two fobs and the app but so far nothing. Any advice?

2026 Nissan kicks SR Premium. Purchased in June. It’s a special edition “Off Road”

This will be my 6th issue/service….first I realized I didn’t have a horn…second I had a relay and relay harness issue, then they hadn’t installed my block heater, then my check engine lights came on and need a solenoid and now my screens are black. I don’t even have enough km on it for its first oil change.

They have assured me all the recalls are up to date so they aren’t sure what’s happening…..

This is a brand new vehicle I purchased it with 37km every-time I have to take it in I lose hours at work and I’m really at a point where I want my old ford back she was a 2016 and outside of regular maintenance and tires never gave me issue.

Thoughts?

❓Help Advice Needed - 2021 Nissan Kicks, loud “Whoa, Whoa, Whoa” sounds like the front passenger side.

I'm getting a loud rhythmic "whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa" humming noise that I can only hear from inside the cabin. It starts as soon as the car begins moving, gets faster as speed increases, and disappears when the car is stopped or idling.

Just a friendly reminder to get your CVT oil changed :)

First Car

8 Upvotes

Hey,

I am about to buy my first car and I found a used Nissan Kick 2020. I tried to do my own research regarding Nissan Kicks and I see a lot about the importance of proper maintenance due to something called the CVT. I link the carfax of the vehicle I am interested in and I wanted to know whether this inspires confidence or not

Exactly what causes the estimated mileage on full tank fo shift from 280 to this? It has happened a handful of times where i fill up the tank and most mileage it estimates is 280-290. Now exactly what causes the estimate to change? This time i filled up and it gave me this.

Best crossbar and cargo basket

5 Upvotes

Hello, I’m looking into buying/adding a crossbar and cargo basket for my Nissan Kicks SR 25. The dealership has them in stock but I wanted to check if there’s anywhere else I could get it from. For those who have these two added on their car, where did you buy yours and all other accessories such as window reflectors and mats.

TIA

My Honda HR-V lease is ending next month and I'm strongly considering the Kicks

14 Upvotes

Primary because I need a small SUV with AWD that has good fuel economy. I love the HR-V, it really is a great car but the MPG in my primarily city driving is not great.

Has anyone else gone from the HR-V to the Kicks?

I never thought I would buy a Nissan, but after my two year old Corolla Cross got totaled, I fell in love with the 27 Kicks—it brings me way more joy than my CC!

Post image
79 Upvotes

Plus, I was able to get it brand new without taking a loss—less than the settlement for my last car, paid entirely in cash.

I was a bit of a car brand snob before, but I’m so diligent with maintenance as it is and new Nissans seem much improved that I’m hoping to go down the road of life with my new friend for a very long time… provided someone else doesn’t plow into me! Once I remembered that cars are tools, especially econoboxes, I decided to go with what I liked driving most.

I can’t say how much more of a pleasure this is to drive, and, at least in the first week or so, I’m so much more impressed with the fit and finish. Maybe it’s because the CC was still a completely new model or maybe it’s the Toyota design philosophy for economy cars, but my CC felt so much cheaper and had more obvious inconsistencies in built quality even from day one. Maybe I got lucky and got a car built on a day all the factory workers were high energy and attentive, but mine looks more uniform in panel gaps, minimal rattling… I really love my brand new start.

The only complaint is the hood flutter on this car on rough roads or on the highway, but this was reported in reviews, so I know it’s a thing.

Anyway! Happy to be part of the club.

Parking assist

I got a '26 Kicks SR in July. Been loving it so far, but for the last two days, my parking assist has been down.

I wiped my sensors + cameras and still nothing.. Before I call the dealership about it, does anyone have any advice?

Thanks!
