I WANT THIS CAR

I absolutely love this car. I'm watching the prices, since it's new, and getting my finances ready to go from no payment to a rather large payment. The gas mileage is phenomenal and the interior is excellent - spacious, smart, full of latest technology.

good gas saver, overall nice car

Niro 2017 FE, own for 1 month, Arizona. 45 MPG real world both city and highway with reasonably careful driving style, going 250miles round trip to the mountains gives 35MPG on the way up and 60mpg down averaging same 45MPG. Comfortable seating for a tall guy - 6f6; seat could be made both lower and higher than needed, steering wheel both telescoping and up/down sufficiently. Driver seat comfortable, enough space for rear passengers. Driving on a dry flat road is comfortable, but how it behaves on icy/wet surfaces is unclear due to slight kickdowns and hesitation on acceleration, fortunately not an issue for Arizona. Factory radio is only good for android auto/apple carplay usage, no MirrorLink. FE has a usual key to start and keypad for a lock/unlock that is definitely an advantage to me over smartkey and autounlock. Overall very nice car for both long haul and in-the-city . Nice dash panel. Groud clearance is pretty low due to front bumper and low radiator, needs causion approaching parking restriction bars. Not an SUV but rather a station wagon.

Niro is fun

Love the technology, fuel economy, and reliability. I do not like that I have to get leather if I would like the most upgraded model. I am ethically opposed to leather.

So far so good

I have had the Niro for less than two weeks but I really like it. I haven't learned all the features yet, it has so many.

LOVE IT!

I've owned my Niro for over a month now, and am still at least as happy as when I purchased it. I'm not pushing it very hard, nor am I feathering the gas pedal, and I'm getting about 44 MPG. I couldn't be happier!

Most incredible car I've ever owned

This is the closest thing to a smart cart that I've ever seen making it incredibly safe and fun to drive and with many many extras. I was shocked to see a warning on my dashboard to be careful of my surroundings when I parked in an underground garage!The gas mileage in this hybrid is incredible at 53-55 mpg, the safety features are top of the line, the finishes are classy, the back seat is very very spacious with ample headroom for my 6' 5" guest! I absolutely LOVE this car. Plus it came with a 60 month, 60,00 mile warranty and free roadside service for same period. Only downside was no spare tire so I ordered one immediately.

New hybrid car experience

This little car had a lot of pickup when we test drive it...it was comfortable, plenty of headroom & legroom...the model we drove had all the bells & whistles on it plus extra...i think Kia has a good idea how to use the extras in the car
