The packaging value of the Kicks SR is why I bought one in the first place. Only compact car that has proximity key, premium sound system, 360 view system and the latest safety and infotainment system. Every other car wanted at least $5000 or more for most of these options, plus stuff I didn't care for.
Nissan Kicks has two bigger brothers, the Rouge Sport/Qashqai and Rouge. Keep the Kicks price low, with only the essential options that buyers want. The SR trim option right now is almost perfect for the price. Let its bigger brothers fulfill the other fluff options.
The only option I would like to see on the Kicks, is to have a sporty CUV option. Bring back the 1.6 turbo from the Juke. No AWD, upgrade the suspension and tires, throw in some sporty styling kit; keep it light weight, fast and inexpensive. Maximum $1500 to $2000 more for the option.
