I didn't have any of the problems other Kicks owners had such as having to replace the front sensor, or any of the struts due to noise. It was more like a raised car and reminded me of my old Kia Soul. The Kicks is considered a crossover but I found it more to be on the car side than the sport utility side. The AC/heat was not very precise, it either was too cool or a little too warm, we had to finagle with it by manually adjusting it every time to get comfortable, compared to our older SUV which provided us a constant stable temperature. The stereo … sounded good but not great, only sounded great when used with the Sirius XM radio demo that you get for free for three months with buying the car. ![]() The Apple Car play and Android Auto were great features. But after a few weeks of owning it I found the interior left a lot to be desired. I bought it basically for the excellent value, for all the tech and features you get for the price and the unique exterior styling. I owned a 2019 Kicks for about four months after trading in a used SUV and going with something brand new. The Tech when new was way above the curve, and still runs at the front of the pack considering the trim level. Overall I give it a B+, the power is a bit lacking but the mileage is still really good. I have some areas of the vehicle where paint chipped and flaked away (this problem happened early on but was quickly dismissed by the auto manufacturer as not a defect). The fit and finish is a bit off leaving undesirable wind noise. Update- So the radio has a reoccurring problem where the volume lowers itself and the knob is un responsive. The seats, although not power are way more adjustable than most, I find the race inspire side bolsters keep me planted quite well. This vehicle is a definite thumbs up for me, and unlike the professional reviews I find the seating comfy and the noise level tolerable, not to mention I'm 6 foot tall. It's … by no means a full system with tons of watts and a gigantic subwoofer, but it's enough to shake the mirror and really balance out the sound in such a small SUV. The Rockford Fosgate sound system upgrade is really nice for a small sub box and tuned door speakers. As is all the other safety and security stuff you get with the upgraded model. The 360 degree camera, which I thought "who needs that in such a small car", is extremely useful. Spend the extra money and get the SR! There's not much extra coin to get tons of really great Tech stuff. Both the SV and the SR trims are eligible for a two-tone paint scheme. The optional SR Premium package adds an eight-speaker Bose audio system, simulated-leather upholstery and heated front seats. ![]() The range-topping SR comes with LED headlights, foglights, black-painted mirrors, a rear roof spoiler, a surround-view parking camera system, upgraded cloth upholstery, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob. The SV adds 17-inch alloy wheels, heated mirrors, body-painted mirrors and handles, a blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert, keyless entry and ignition, remote start, a driver information display, interior chrome accents, padded front door armrests, automatic climate control with rear heater ducts, a cargo cover, satellite radio, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration. Standard equipment for the S trim includes 16-inch steel wheels, roof rails, automatic headlights, hill start assist, forward collision warning with automatic braking, cruise control, air conditioning, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, a height-adjustable driver seat, 60/40-split folding rear seats, Bluetooth, a 7-inch touchscreen, Siri Eyes Free integration, three USB ports, a rearview camera, and a six-speaker audio system.
