Kicks is big? 🤯 I only disagree to use hatchback car to learn driving. Parking will be easier for them. If next time they drive a sedan, they might have issues in parking. But then nowadays SUV are everywhere. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atrecord Supersonic October 8, 2021 Share October 8, 2021 yah, kicks (crossover) leh, not xtrail (SUV)... where got big? but i think that crossovers might not be easy for learners, as the bonnet is higher, so the driver will see less of the road in front, nearer to the vehicle, so maybe that's why tio kerb... oh, i think kicks has 360 deg camera, so when reversing, it is actually v easy - unless instructor had modded the car to not let driver see... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watwheels Supersonic October 8, 2021 Share October 8, 2021 I like how the instructor DIY make the "L" plate from cardboard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they also use kicks as L plate car? Nowadays so many different types of car model used as L plate. Unlike last time only certain car model used for L plate.

Should be allowed to sell L plate car as 2nd hand car, but maybe need to remove the brake pedal on the passenger side before selling? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratovarius Turbocharged October 8, 2021 Share October 8, 2021 i know it sound contradicting, sometimes a bigger and taller car with less blind spots is easier to manoeuvre than a small hatch full of blind spots. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a L plate car, if you compared the Jazz model which is using as L plate with this Kicks, surely Kicks looks bigger and taller lo. Although i dont find Kicks is big la, to me it is like just an oversize hatchback, not consider SUV. How come if learn using Kicks, next time when drive a sedan would have issues in parking le? Thought if you have got used in driving a bigger car and then go drive a smaller car, it would be much easier?

Watwheels Supersonic October 8, 2021 Share October 8, 2021 10 minutes ago, Lala81 said: Kicks E-power has some EV characteristics like one pedal driving. Is this disabled? In the form of drive modes. "Normal" drive mode will disable the one pedal driving. "Eco and "S" will be the one pedal drive mode. https://www.carbuyer.com.sg/2020-nissan-kicks-e-power-review-ass-kicks-er/3/ There are three driving modes: Eco, S, and normal. Normal lets you drive normally, using the brakes and gas like any other car, but Eco and S use the EV-style one-pedal way, with heavier regenerative braking so you only pop a foot on the brake pedal when actually stopped. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
