Re: Michelin Cross Climate - fuel economy impact?

I am getting towards needing the first replacement front tyres on my Niro2.
As a matter of interest, what mileage have you achieved with the original tyres?
Cross Climates are excellent, by the way! I had them on my Scenic.

Re: 6 weeks in....so what's it like?

Well, I’ve had my Niro 2 with ADAP for some ten weeks now, and done 1500 miles. I must say, I’m liking it more and more as time passes and look forward to every outing in it. After my Renault Scenic, the seats seemed just a little more spartan, and luggage space more restricted. But that is now forg...

Re: Spare wheel

Could someone please confirm whether the Wheelshop spacesaver wheel can be fitted using the original wheelnuts?
My last car had a separate set of wheelnuts for the spare.

Satnav updates

Owners of other Kia models appear to have had a saga of problems with satnav updating. Do the same issues apply to the Niro? (I'm still awaiting delivery of mine :cry: ) . Must updates be done at the dealership or is there a USB stick/ SD card home-downloading option? Are the updates free? Is the ma...

Re: Waiting game

My Niro 2 with ADAP ordered 27th October.
Delivery now expected 22nd January, which is pretty well the 12 weeks the dealer anticipated.
We'll see how it pans out. At least it will be registered as a 2018 car...

Reversing lights/rear fog lights

Could someone tell me whether the Niro has two reversing lights and two rear fog lights?
The fashion for one of each seems to come and go as models change.
My old 05 plate Scenic had two wonderful reversing lights, but my current 63 plate has one very meagre one..

Re: Washer fluid

A low washer-fluid warning is something I have missed in all my previous cars.
I could never understand why they didn't have it.
Something else to look forward to when my Niro eventually arrives....

Re: New member

Why fit all-season tyres , there is nothing wrong with the Michelin tyres on the car , and remember all-season tyres will be noisy . I'll probably be visiting Germany where they demand "snowflake" tyres in the winter months. Good all-season tyres fit the bill, and I know from experience h...

Hi everyone. I have been following posts on here for quite a while, but having just taken the plunge and ordered a Niro 2 + ADAP , I felt I had to join the forum properly. On the test-drive I found myself immediately in a traffic jam, and it was almost a pleasure! The rest certainly was. Without ADA...
