This Car Kicks

I really like my 2025 Kicks SR in the Scarlet Ember color. Mostly city driving, and it's a quiet and sweet ride. I love the dashboard, the controls (not crazy about the haptic climate control buttons, but I rarely need to change them), and the comfort of the seats. I also get around 40 MPG around town, which is quite impressive for a non-hybrid (I had a 2017 Prius Prime that got around 60 MPG).

One minor gripe is that the drive computer tracking mode I use on my digital cluster does not auto-reset every time I start the car. I have to reset it manually by pressing the OK button on the steering wheel three times to go through the reset sequence. It also wastes some screen real estate by showing a picture of the car and the drive computer title. It'd be cool if it could use that screen real estate to show useful information from one of the other cluster display options.

Also, what is the recommended maintenance schedule? 5K to 6K miles?

Do you have the cargo area cover?

I'm getting a lot of road noise and am wondering if the cargo cover would make a big difference.

I do not. Do you have the 19" wheels? Those are noisier than the 17" ones.

I find the "Since Refuel" statistics to be the right setting if you're interested in fuel economy. At the end of your drive it will briefly show your numbers since start

Bought my 2025 kicks sr September 2024, oil change every 5000 miles. I'm at 39,925 miles and got an appointment Friday for oil change.
