That sounds like an eminently pragmatic approach as far as I am concerned. For what it’s worth, I think I have only ever experienced oversteer once in a front wheel drive car - in wet conditions when I was a younger and more foolish chap, deliberately going quick around a roundabout in the wet to te...

I understand that reputable fitters will always recommend putting new tyres on the rear. Any idea why this is - other than to reduce the risk of the rear tyres on a FWD car that only does average mileage dying of age rather than tread wear? Instinctively my gut says that the front tyres do the stee...

I thought the tailgate was plastic?

Anyway, you’re a braver person than me letting a 17 year old learner into the driving seat of a car as valuable as a Niro!

Anyway, I am now up to 29k miles and still on the original set of front tyres - although they really are getting to Lex Autolease’s 3mm level! Anyone else out there made it to 30k miles or beyond on the original tyres?!

I was over in Germany last week and was given a Toyota C-HR as a hire car, thus allowing some interesting comparisons with the Niro. It’s difficult to do a comparison on price / value for money, since I don’t know what spec the Toyota was in comparison to my Niro 2. Overall, I was impressed with the...

Agree the factory lights look terrible against the DRLs - such a contrast in light colour. Feels like the look of the front of the car is marred by the lack of a tiny bit of extra effort to fit crisp white LED headlights as factory standard. Also agree that relative to my previous car, the headlight...

I think that would be it (I.e. the pressures were a bit low, owing to low temperature). I filled all the tyres to 36psi on Saturday and the warnings went off. What I still find odd is that a warning shows on screen for one tyre and not another with exactly the same pressure in it (according to the o...

Anyone actually had any physical work done as part of the clutch recall? I got my letter in late October and it has taken Lex and their preferred garage until recently to schedule the work for 14/01. Seeing as how the car hasn’t caught fire yet (!) I’m hoping it will last another week or so but i’m ...

So... minus 4 centigrade this morning here. We drove a few miles into town to drop my wife’s car off for its MOT, then set off up the A46 at 70mph. After a couple of miles at cruising speed, OSR tyre pressure warning despite it being 32psi and the others all being 33 (per dashboard readout). No ill ...

Anyone got a recommendation on where to source touch up paint for a UK 2017 Niro in ocean blue metallic?
