Re: Bought one :-)

Considered blue, but decided to stay with black. Ordered Williams coat paint and fabric protection, and a full-sized spare wheel. Asked about the ADAP, but was told it was a 12 week wait. Not that patient I'm afraid. Main concern now is how the low resistance tyres will cope in winter conditions.

Bit of a trip getting to be a Niro owner. Currently have a KX-2 awd auto Sportage and about 2 years back was thinking about trading in for a new one. Then the bad press for diesel engine emissions began to take off, and hearing about the new model Sportage, I decide to wait and see if there would be...

Re: Bought one :-)

Had my test drive last Thursday. Tried it over some speed humps and found it more comfortable than my KX2 Sportage. Then took it to a 1:12 hill and put my foot down to go up it.
