Re: Best and Worst Thing About Your Niro

@niroal Thanks for the dog guard recommendation. Going try without one to start with as I don't think our lab will try to jump over the back seats. So you only get 1 year Kia Assist? or as just because its a lease? @radar2018 Do you not get free map updates? Ioniq has three years of free updates bu...

Re: I'm tempted by the Kia Stinger

You got me looking on Autotrader!!!!!!
I have to admit (unlike you with your previously list) /i feel I have to own something with more than 4 cylinders before they are outlawed / priced off the road.
Can't think of many other 6 cyl cars that can avoid to 40k tax for years 2-5.

Re: Best and Worst Thing About Your Niro

We too looked at the Ioniq before the Niro & dismissed it as too small. especially as the Ioniq can't even take a roof rack. My overall economy is in the high 90s (measured on fill to fill, not the trip comp), but we do a lot of 300+ mile trips with no sensible charging. We have done over 17000 ...

Re: Using Economy 7 electricity to charge Niro PHEV

Personally even with our previous Renault Zoe BEV we found it too close to justify E7 as the day rate was so much higher. Having to be that organised with regards to dishwasher & washing machine / tumble dryer. Our oven is electric & we do mainly home cooking rather than ready meals so again...

Re: Unable to charge and Check Hybrid System warning

I gave up tryng to get a PHEV and was lucky to get one of the very first Hyundai Kona EV’s. I am staying on this forum because it is so much better with more informative content than the Kona forum!

Re: Coasting guide

Works fine for me as long as route is programmed on the Nav. Not any major use as only tells you what is obvious if you drive looking further than the end of the bonnet.
