If there is anyone who has bought the latest Nissan Kicks with the optional 18" Impul alloy wheels with Goodyear Eagle F1 tyres at RM3.5k, I would be interested to know on the following:-

1. Is there a difference between the standard 17" and 18" Impul alloyt wheels + Eagle F1 tyres in areas of handling, comfort and noise.
2. Is the NVH of the Kicks in engine, suspension and road noise is about the same as the Nissan Almera, or superior.

Thanks for this. Good to know. Do you own the Kicks? 

Almera although rather quiet in its class, does not have good soundproofing at the bottom of the car as the suspension is a bit noisy when going over bad roads. I hope the Kicks will be noticeably quieter than the Almera. The acceleration and pick-up of the Kicks has been confirmed to be better than the Almera.

Can give feedback bout rear leg room? Between the 2 models?
I'm using City hb ehev now, morning cold start noisier than my ice car 🤣
But acceleration, fuel saving is really nice. Average 21 to 22km/l.

Now I'm thinking to replace my suv car to hybrid. In Malaysia, Japan brand, only kicks vs cc..
