Re: Anyone with a dog ?

The spec list just says Alarm system with engine immobiliser. As it does not say internal scanning, it may not have the sensors so if it is only perimeter protection it will not need to be disabled when leaving a dog in it.

Re: Anybody spotted a PHEV in the UK?

I am hoping to test drive one at the weekend. Unfortunately from the look on Autotrader, it look like UK models don't have the LED lights that they say they do in the brochure like in the picture on the previous page.

Re: First Impressions of Niro 2

The Niro 3 & the Niro 4 (replacement for the First Edition) are available with 16" wheels as a reduce cost option. The beat part about the 16" wheels is they do Michelin Cross Climates (the 18" Niro wheel size is not available currently) in that size so you don't have to swap to w...

There are more differences than just the battery though, the motor is more p...

Re: New member

I doubt the difference away from the labs is as much as 10mpg for the 18" rims Overall it looks like it will cost about 50% of the list price difference over the 4 year lease time I am looking at. After reading online reviews (I know I can't help it) my biggest fears were poor ride & road n...
