I have done about 16,000 miles in the 11 months since I got my Niro2. In this time it has picked three or four scuffs in the paintwork (but fortunately no panel dents) from inconsiderate people opening their doors in car parks; galling but not practically within my control. What I do find concerning...

I am getting towards needing the first replacement front tyres on my Niro2. If the winter just gone is anything to judge against, some snow tyres would not go amiss (on my wife’s car and my previous car we have / had a full set of winter tyres on steel rims and swapped them over). Rather than go dow...

And since when do automatic cars have clutch fluid anyway?

I only have one lot of experience of Kia service (Allen Kia / Ford, Solihull) but didn't have any issues - car collected and returned on the same day, cleaned, courtesy call follow up received to check everything was okay. Compared to previous experience of Mazda and Skoda dealers in the central War...

With the end - hopefully - of the cold weather my fuel economy has gone up by about 10mpg for my 11 mile trip to / from work. When it was cold I was getting as low as circa 43mpg but on a careful drive home yesterday it exceeded 60mpg according to the trip computer, with the typical "normal&quo...

I've had it too, on more than one occasion, where I've taken my foot off the footbrake and the car has immediately rolled backwards - not one or two seconds later, but straight away. Have you put the car in neutral when you are stopped? I believe this cancels the hill-assist. No, for the most recen...

Yes, suspect this is to manage the long term battery life (lithium batteries will do a very large number of small charge / discharge but less deep discharges before performance degrades). I've had all the way up to fully charged a few times - but it took 10 miles of constant downhill down a mountain...

I don't specifically want to avoid diesel, what I am wary about is buying a diesel now and then getting hammered on RFL or not being allowed to drive it to a whole host of places if government or metro mayors really start to push on the local NOx and PM issues. Up to now the iX35 is looking like a g...

I've had it too, on more than one occasion, where I've taken my foot off the footbrake and the car has immediately rolled backwards - not one or two seconds later, but straight away. I suspect the HHA only works is the footbrake is pressed quite firmly; the last time I have the rolling back I'd been...
