Own a 2020 kicks SR. Love it that my wife took from me. Now I drive a 2005 corolla...fun, and perfect city car.

Not going to be a super popular review but some great content here none the less 👍

[@racineurr.8924]

Read my comment. When a reviewer forgets for whom he's reviewing, that's what happens. Most of TH-cam car reviewers do it for the fun of sitting in a 100,000$ SUV. If you wish to have an honest review non biased, watch Auto TV shows. Still the best at the job. Still can't understand why a 6 foot guy with he shape of a footballer complains about the seating in the most smaller of vehicles. Sir, this is a Versa with a higher top.

[@txGarage]

Lol, funny part is, I love the Versa 🤷‍♂️ maybe you’re just too quick to judge my motives based on one video and your dislike for TH-cam reviewers.

[@racineurr.8924]

@@txGarage Sir, happy that you answered. Quick to judege you?I will think about it I dislike most of the TH-cam Auto reviewers cause I see a trend: review the car after what they think it should be according to their view of the automobile world. Since today every vehicle with four wheels should be turbo charged, have 4WD, mounted on 20 inch tires, have the driving of a Porsche and absolutely be "sporty", I think they review from themselves more than for the entire public. I say it again: not every driver wish, have the means or find tis terrestrial pleasure in driving like as he were on a racing track 24/7. This is my only grudge. That's why I reverted back to Auto TV shows. They seem to work the opposite. They give the pros and cons of a vehicle without the incredible amount of "For me", "To me", "I don't" like', I wish it had 4WD' and so on. Imagine a Kicks with 4WD. That means a bigger engine, lost of precious gas mileage. So When I hear that (I'm not saying you did that), something tells me the reviewer didn't grip the purpose of the car at all. Since a Kicks is a vehicle I haven mind, I'sort of very attentive to the reviews and for the most part, they're all the same: they begin with "Unfortunately, there is no 4Wd', Right away, I know the guy doesn't care about the car. And I go check his list of videos: Mercedes, BMW, F150 and alike. To me, it's "let's throw a poor people's car for the good measure".

I actually don’t disagree with you on any of those points. Thanks again for checking out the video and leaving some feedback. 👍

[@kccooks3821]

My wife and I loved that car. We rented it and drove it to Montana from southeast Missouri. It drove great through the mountains and was great on gas. But we aren’t 6 foot 1 lol

[@txGarage]

Lol nice :)

[@WonderBlubber]

Appreciate the details, especially about the dimensions. I'm torn between these and a Kia Niro, similar price point but I'm not sure this has the mileage to trade off for its small size (I'm only 5'10", but that's still a bit cramped)

[@racineurr.8924]

To be honest sir, I didn't like your review. It's more of a bashing of small car called Kick's than an honest review. As soon as you're in the driver's seat, you start by saying that you don't like how you're seated. Sir, it's a small SUV, footballers will of couse feel cramped in this small vehicle, then you go on with your ranting. Nothing on the breaking, the audio system, if the ride is on the smooth or the firm side, are there cracking noises, di you try the heater the Ac. All things I would have liked to know cause I'm the target customer for a Kicks. Live in suburbs, ride about 9000km a year, go to Walmart, visit friends and that's it. But after our review I felt like I'd be a total idiot not to buy a bigger 4WD (so very useful in the city) with cargo for 10 golf bags. In a nutshell, your personal opinion is important cause you know more than the usual consumer, but you should also do a complete and serious review. Sorry but not a subscriber here.

Thanks for the feedback. At least you know I’ll give you my honest opinion but I get your point. Thanks again for the comment 👍
