Re: Minor irritation with Niro

Yes, mine also has lock/unlock on the drivers door, however even if the car has auto-locked you do not need to use this to open the drivers door.

Re: Minor irritation with Niro

Almost useless controls for navigating music and podcast folders/albums over the Bluetooth connection, requiring you to operate the phone directly. This is probably because of limited support for AVRCP profile. Seat and steering wheel heating buttons are inconveniently located out of view under the ...

The ocean blue colour is very aptly named - just like the sea it reflects a wide range of blues depending on the light and sky colour. Like most, though, it's at its best in bright sunlight.

Re: Considering buying HEV version of Niro

Where are you based that you have 8" of snow? 1. See my comments on snow here . Main issue is traction at the front in corners, rather than beating through snow. 3. No, the foot operated emergency brake is well to the side, up above where your foot would normally be. But I have a LHD, not sure ...
