I bought this 2021 Nissan Kicks SV last Saturday. Same year, color, trim, everything identical! Now that I had it for a week, I’m really enjoying it! This car is not going to win you any drag races but it will get you down the road if you need for it to. Some of the reviews that I have viewed and read doesn’t do this car any good. I think this is a great sub compact car for the price range! BTW: I got a lifetime powertrain warranty from the dealer on this car. You can’t beat that!
Can I ask why you didn’t upgrade to the top of the line model? I’m wanting to buy this car but torn between the ac model and the sr premium for 3 grand more
I have this car probably one of the best affordable compact suvs you get a decent amount of technology for a pretty good price.the seats are surprisingly comfortable and this is a quiet ride car. Definitely worth the money
My parents are probably going to get this for my first car but I wanted to watch some videos on it to see if it was a good choice. So far, I think this is the perfect car for a new driver!!!!
Not bad for basic transportation around town. Thanks Joe and Lori. Just saw your video from 3 years ago on tips to buying new car. I enjoyed it👍 You only had 1k subscribers then 🙂
I just bought SV 2023, you should see this one. Trim on mine- sporty! First moment I stepped on a pedal I was speechless, street roaming kills my Mazda cv-30 2022 and Forester 2021 on all accounts! Highways ah... missing some HP at 55mph but still ok for traveling LA - SDed.

I got one as a loaner when my car went in for servicing - yesterday . I thought the same thing - first time drivers. When I was a kid the equivalent would have been a Hyundai Pony. Basic transportation. ✅Underpowered engine ✅Poor Handling ✅Uncomfortable seats ✅Inexpensive (Decent for the money - but you get what you pay for) ✅Safe vehicle for kids. Lots of space for road trips. When I was a kid I paid a bit more than what a Hyundai Pony cost and bought an Isuzu IMark. Great car (for the money).
A JATCO CVT is in this car. That CVT is the most reviled transmission in Automotive History, probably only matched by the Getrag 4 speed of the mid 80s. That alone kills this unit right off the bat for me.
I bought a brand new 2022 Nissan Kicks SV less than two weeks ago and the car shudders when I brake and then stalls. Plus the seatbelt lights always turn on when I'm wearing my seatbelt. So fustrating
This looks SO much better than the Juke (box). Not a bad commuter car, for sure. This is a price point I could almost afford lol. I'm really liking it in the lack. Thank you for all the contortioning you do for the videos, Lori! We really get a good feel for all the vehicles
if you use royal purple oil it will increase hp and torque and you will love the response that’s what I did just don’t use k&n air filter it will ruined the sensors.
i've been thinking about buying the 2021 kicks sv within the next month or so but getting scared off now by all the bad comments about the cvt. never had a car with cvt but it seems like big turnoff from reading the varied comments
Europe gets the Juke still. Made in Sunderland, and only has 1-litre engines with 115 horsepower if I can remember. Six speed manual or seven speed DCT.
I really like this car but the lack of space in the arm rest and no cup holder in the back plus the speed is holding me back. I’m looking for a good spacious road trip car. My 2015 Kia forte has a lot of space and room, the amount of things I can fit in the car always amazes me, but it’s time for my buddy to retire from the long distance drive and my sisters crazy driving speed and I honestly can hear her complaints already.
My daughter owned a 2011 Nissan Altima that the empty console caught on fire and burned the entire front seat area during the night in our driveway. Nissan corporation's response... "it's is older than 4 years so we are not legally obligated to investigate the cause." Lawyer said I would lose thousands trying to sue them for reimbursement and endangering my daughter's life. I WILL NEVER OWN A NISSAN AGAIN!
Joe and Lori( LORI, LORI, LORI,, Thanks for all you do!)Thanks for showing us NISSAN get their KICKS. Nice car for the money GREAT MPG! LOVE THE TWINKIES in the glove compartment! Joe drivers( And pedestrians are the same way up here in the Chicago suburbs, lol. Keep on keeping on and I will see you guys on another ride.
Nice review. I feel like the style is too “safe” compared to what Nissan has done in recent years. Something like this should have more “style” in my opinion.
I test drove one of these AT Maus Nissan in New Port Richey Florida and LOVED it! I took the same route for the test drive as you did. I also drove the Rouge Sport and full size Rouge. I have a very hard time dealing with a CVT but the one in the Kicks was the best of the three. I haven't finished my research so do not know witch CVT is in each of the three I drove, it could be the same for all I know. I drive like an old lady so the Kicks had enough "kick" for me. The base stereo was the best of the three but I was NOT impressed by the Bose in the SR trim. I did have the windows down and it was inside the showroom so I couldn't really test it good. The Rouge sport was ok but I HATED the Rouge. Since this is about the kicks though, than back to it. I was a bit concerned about KBB stating that the kicks had a JITTERY ride that was taxing on the highway. I did not get to drive the kicks on the highway but the quick time I drove it, didn't seem to notice anything too bad about the ride. Wind and road noise seemed normal for a vehicle in this class/price range. My BIGGEST complaint however was the SUSSPENSION NOISE! I thought it was HORRIBLE. Overall ride, handling was decent. Acceleration for me was adequate but for most moron drivers here, it probable wont be. I HATE cvt's but thought the one in the Kicks was OK with the less "rubbery feel" probable due to the vehicles lower weight. I also liked the low 2000 rpms at 70mph. The 8" touch screen in the dash instead of sticking out the top like an after thought, I loved. My big thing with vehicles is there reliability, that's what I study. My BIGGEST concern about the Kicks, as well as ALL Nissan products with the CVT is that they are made by JACTO, witch is KNOW for HORRIBLE CVT's for performance AND especially in RELIABILITY! They have been improving in performance but it is still too soon to know if they have improved in reliability. The performance of the one in the Rouge was HOORENDOUS! HOW Nissan sells so many of those is a mystery. You THINK your in a much more substantial vehicle because of it's larger size of course but also by its plush interior. Driving it however was terrible. The CVT was so bad I didn't even finish me test drive. Overall I really liked the Kicks, I just worry about the Jatco CVT. Still, the CVT in it DID perform rather well and may be worth the shot. You do get 5 year 60,000 miles warranty on it. I only drive 8-10k miles a year so for me might be worth the risk. After 5 years I will probable want another vehicle anyway. I think the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport was just as good, with the more than likely SAME Jacto CVT. The Outlander Sport comes with a stronger 148hp 2.0ltr engine. It is all mostly a product of Japan and you get 5/60 bumper to bumper and 10/100 powertrain! It is similarly priced as the Kicks. Predicted reliability is not better or worse than the Kicks. The interior of the Outlander Sport is not as nice as the Kicks, and well, Down right cheap and flimsy as heck! The only drawback when comparing to the Kicks. Otherwise the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is DEFINITLY the one to choose! It looks even better than the Kicks, has more power with even an optional 2.4 with 168 horse. You can even get an awesome Rockford Fosgate audio system in the outlander. I don't understand the dismal reviews and ratings on the Outlander Sport, it is just as good as the Kicks. One last thing, on the Kicks SR I looked at with an MSRP over 28k, you would THINK it would have a POWER driver seat! It is not even available at all! Ridiculous!
I actually like it, if it had a bettter powertrain. If it had like the Fiat 1.3T engine and 9-speed automatic for example, 180hp, I'd really entertain buying one.
I drive this as a company car. Pretty solid. Is it worth it? Any known problems with it that people have encountered with it? Are the CVT transmissions as bad they say in these?
Thankfully this looks better. The other model years looked cheap in and out. So different than the rogue sport which looked well made. This one is better.
A little bit tight for tall people might be not the right option, I’m 6,5 with my teenager daughter behind me was not good fit. Anyway trunk space is good for a car of that size, reliable car i did not face any issue during 3 years long, comfortable for the city and an ok car for the road. My wife is short, so for her it’s awesome. The option of 360 cam for park is awesome, but sometimes it can make u little bit lazy.
It's a transmission that uses a variable pulley system instead of gears. It is constantly changing the transmission ratio to deliver optimal acceleration and better fuel economy. The downsides are reliability, loud noise (because they often hold engines near redline under hard acceleration), and they don't handle lots of power well.
I bought a 2021 Nissan kicks s the day before Thanksgiving so far so good I can't complain great on gas I think it looks good my first new cat ordered some weathertech floor mats

Nissan should sell Kicks e-power version in The US. I have tried it in Thailand. It was soooooo good .
When will you be reviewing the new qx55 from Infiniti?
Very popular abroad, I’ve good experience with that car, love it
Great video but there is NOT a ton of room in the back seat. I have to move the front seat forward to fit anyone behind me.
Europe gets the Juke still. Made in Sunderland, and only has 1-litre engines with 115 horsepower if I can remember. Six speed manual or seven speed DCT.
That is crazy Dave!
I prefer the Juke, cos it doesn’t have a CVT transmission. It’s got a DCT transmission. Not for the United States though.
I was waiting for my Twinkie reference thank you
You may have covered it but aren't the front faux vents (below the headlights) for the sensing packages?
Bump up the hp to around 140 it would be a great car

Joe, do you do these reviews when you’re hungry? Haha. You just need to head to 7/11 every time you review a video for the snacks.
What is a cvt transmission?
continuously variable transmission
It's a transmission that uses a variable pulley system instead of gears. It is constantly changing the transmission ratio to deliver optimal acceleration and better fuel economy. The downsides are reliability, loud noise (because they often hold engines near redline under hard acceleration), and they don't handle lots of power well.
A transmission that has no gears but uses a variable pulley system with belts.
