Re: New Member
Hi all welcome to the forum. Glad you are all pleased with your choices. Yes the car does give a good performance in most areas. Boot is perhaps marginal in size for a car in this sector but otherwise not much to grumble about. Fuel economy is amazing provided you aren't heavy with the throttle othe...

Re: Broken door handles
Whoa!* Inside rear door handles braking off , quite alarming, that's a new one for cars. Will take a look at mine although usually it's children in the back who don't have too much strength. Adults in strange cars can sometimes do unexpected actions in my experience and may (careful here) be both ma...

Re: Niro 2 PHEV?
Hi all. Just following up the conversation about cost of phev versus EV. Niro phev is a while yet and I wonder whether the cost of an Extended type option !Ike BMWI3 might be a cheaper option than Phev for longer distances rather than huge battery.

Re: Broken door handles
Hi Bicepeak1 . Intriguing question, what is occurring with door handles. The inside cable can stretch and slip off so outside handle no longer operates. It's usually the drivers of course, people jerk and snatch at it instead of pulling carefully!. If not that what?

Re: Sat-nav oddities
Hi all. Are we saying car sat nav is ok providing settings are set up correctly, if so what settings do you have to avoid silly detours? Have you all decided to use Android auto or apple auto instead. What do you think about Waze. Have not used it for navigating only left live on familiar journeys f...

Re: Key fob battery
Hi all. Interesting subject here. PhilB, if it happens again try your spare key fob to see if this also has a problem which would indicate it might be 12v battery as mentioned by Greenman. Not send this topic elsewhere so your key fob might be a one off? h2onorth
