Nissan Kicks
Nissan’s smallest crossover offers good value and low prices. The 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine under the hood of the Kicks generates a modest 122 horsepower through a continuously variable transmission and delivers interesting fuel economy. As you can imagine, passing manoeuvres need to be planned well in advance (80-120 km/h in 9.4 seconds). The mix of ride and handling could probably be improved but is quite decent for daily use around town.
