Indeed not. That was the trade-off my wife was happy to accept - very slightly impaired view of the sky, but no dealing with change / French toll staff / getting woken up by me to do so!!

BTW it went to the dealer and ended up getting re-gassed. They claimed that normally they’d put dye into the system to try and find a leak, but in this case because it’s a hybrid car they can’t do that. Sounds like 🐂💩 to me... how is having a battery under the back seat and some extra drivetrain / r...

I’ve got a toll tag for the French autoroute; mine is stuck just behind the rear view mirror on the passenger side - see photo.

We’ve used it on a few long trips in France without any problem.

I already have a Niro (2017 “self-charging” hybrid) as a company car, the lease for which is coming to an end next summer. I am torn between going full EV (low Benefit in Kind costs) or taking the money. If I take the money I need to provide a car that is less than five years old for company use. Ho...

Those look like the 16” wheels so it is probably a “2”.

I did a compare and contrast posting a year or so ago after I had a Toyota C-HR as a hire car for a while. I’d be interested in your thoughts; in summary I thought the Toyota cabin was a bit over-designed, but with better feel of quality than the Kia. The Niro is more practical (boot space) and has ...

Not sure how to vote in the poll. My 2017 “2” is on 16” wheels and 205/60/16 tyres. Was on the original Michelin on the front for about 28k miles I think, then Continentals. They lasted less mileage, albeit that on the Michelins I did a few longer motorway trips (Turin and back, for example!) wherea...

Not necessarily a typo. Electricity retailers buy wholesale energy in blocks and for “old style” customers where the shape of consumption is assumed between day and night, they will price accordingly. However when the shape between day and night is known, the retailer can set prices cheaper overnigh...

I took delivery of my Niro 2 in mid-2017, so I suspect it is the same hardware build as yours. It does indeed recognise / have Apple CarPlay. I can’t say if the upgrade is possible from home or needs a dealer though. I seem to remember the topic having been discussed on the board before / people hav...

Thanks, I’ll have a look tomorrow.
