I Would Very Strongly Recommend Nissan Kicks Especially The 1.3 CVT

I have a Kicks 1.3 Automatic. Pros: Build Quality is awesome for both outside and inside. The plastics feel tough and built to the last suspension can handle broken roads, smooth roads, potholes, off-road very well and one does not feel the impact of bad roads inside. Highway stability is very good. The car feels planted and confident at speeds. 156 BHP Power from 1.3 Petrol turbo is noticeable after 1600rpm and comes as a surge and keeps pulling. This constant surge is even more useful in the automatic version as there is almost no drop in the revs across all the CVT steps. Very useful during highway overtakes. Transmission: The transmission is very smooth and silent and is able to handle all load levels. Hill hold assist is a very useful feature and it works very intuitively. The ergonomics of the car is very good. The passengers and I have travelled for 12 hours continuously through a mix of bad and good roads and were surprised that none felt tiredness or anybody aches. The seats are supportive and the controls are within easy reach. The boot is wide and the low loading lip makes it very convenient to load /unload luggage. The speakers are good. Cons: The projector's light strength could have been better. Summary: I would very strongly recommend the car especially the 1.3 CVT It may not seem interesting or enticing at a passing glance, but once you have taken a test drive it will definitely make you think about considering it. One of the best cars around and best suited for Indian conditions. I needed a car that can travel long distances be it through good or bad roads at respectable speeds and keep me or my family cocooned through the journey, and that I don't have to worry about taking an offbeat route. Nissan Kicks has more than lived up to my expectations.
