Picked up my 71 plate eNiro 4+ in Yacht blue, from Hendy Ferndown on the 5th July.
Home charger arriving on 26th. Until then it's 'Granny' or a chum round the corner.
Currently managing 5.5 M/pKWh round town. Have yet to do a run.
So far very chuffed although I do miss a few thing on the CR-V (ability to up/down the windows on the key fob, no adjustable and audible speed limit warnings, storage space is a lot less than the CR-V. ) Thinking I might buy a FRUNK. Anybody bought one of these?
Why on earth didn't Kia do it as standard?

So far seriously impressed!
P.S. My avatar won't upload it is 8X5 pixels. So small I can hardly see it on my screen must be about 5mb.
Am I doing something wrong. Why so small? other forums cope with much larger avatars?
Finally made it!

Love your comment "Why on earth didn't Kia do it as standard?". If I had a pound for every time I've seen/said that....
Ref your lack of speed limit warning, the Niro does have a speed limiter and a (so-called) intelligent speed limit warning that should satisfy your needs. I trust you can find it yourself.

Thanks Alan.
I assume it is the one that has to be operated via the Cruise control? i have managed to get 'MY SPEED' to show above the recognised speed limit on the infoT screen.
I haven't had to charge it yet. That will be my lext 'learning curve' Having had an Outlander PHEV I DO know how to stick the plug in the hole
But will have to investigate charging time schedules etc. Not that it concerns me because, at 19p per KWh my leccy is cheaper 24hrs a day than changing to 'economy 7' which isn't. All they do is bunk up the day time charge to compensate for the cheaper so called off-peak. 'There's no such thing as a free lunch!

Shell Energy, But I'm afraid you won't get that deal now. I signed up on a 4 year fixed price deal, which expires August 24. Then God help me.
