Love our new car!!

We have only had our Niro for a couple weeks but so far we love it! The gas mileage is going to be a great savings, the features of the Sport package make it a fun car to drive!! We are excited to be proud owners of a hybrid!

Great mileage

I really like that it a hybrid that does not need to be plugged in. Last trip was 70 mpg. I am really going to enjoy this car.

First new car I've ever purchased

This is a good little wanna be SUV. The gas mileage is the reason I purchased it after spending around $400 a month in fuel driving my Jeep Wrangler. I figured that money could be better put to use with a hybrid car payment instead of burning it up in the gas tank. It is a comfortable ride and I average about 500 miles per tank of fuel. It's only draw back that I have so far is the cruise control feature. It's not nearly as smooth as what I experienced in my Jeep. It's a commuting car, not a fun vehicle like the Jeep is.

Excellent engineering, room and 57 mpg!

Absolutely love this car. Owned 2 BMW's and a VW prior-engineering on par. I drive a lot in my job, and have been able to hit 50-60mpg in city / highway consistently. Did the math, and it costs 0.4 cents a mile in fuel. Shifting to sport mode gets you a hot hatch too!

GAS SAVERS

This car is a gas saver... doing average between 57-62 mpg.. enough space inside.. the hatch is big enough.. not to small like the Soul.. and better than the Soul.. better mileage in city than highway...We'll see in the long run.. I plan to keep this car for at least 7-10 yrs...

Next Gen Gas Saver

The vehicle feel fine on the road. However, the vehicle was not what I anticipated. I got the vehicle was a higher car like a SUV and it turns out the vehicle was a little bit low to the ground. Call me as very spacious just to let you know and also if you're looking for a gas card that saves you money on gas this will be it.

What do owners think about the headlamps?

Seriously thinking of ordering a Touring model Niro but concerned about lack of Northamerican safety rating. Also what do owners think about the headlamps? Are they good at highway speed? Recent reviews complain most SUVs have poor headlamps. This is a big issue for me. I would appreciate Niro owners' comments. Thx.

mpg God

Better than a Prius but not a Prius. Great handling, lots of cargo space. I can't wait to own of my own.
