Wonderful to drive

Really enjoy driving it. More peppy than I expected. Fuel economy is great. Being over 6 feet tall,I don't feel cramped as a passenger or the driver!

Great find and buy

This was recommended to me when I was on the phone looking for the Altima I was debating between a crossover and sedan. I love that it is a hybrid engine and the gas mileage is amazing. I got the touring model which includes the vented leather seat which during this heat wave have been amazing. There is plenty of room in the back compartments to store what I need.

A great urban vehicle without SUV bloat

This car is impressive. My Touring version with all the goodies gets at least 45 mpg combined. We now have over 5k miles with zero problems and ever-improving mileage. Very comfort especially with three levels of heating AND cooling in front seats. Clever interior provides plenty of hauling capacity, yet the overall length and superior turning circle make city parking a cinch. While safety features veer away from autonomous behavior, they are sufficient to keep you out of trouble in most cases. We are continuously amused by how much fun this car is proving to be. Shove it into Sport mode for surprisingly brisk highway merges or passing. Five months and five thousand miles, and we're still grinning.

Coolest Car I have Ever Owned

This car fits all of my needs: It is comfortable, roomy for my needs, great on gas and good looking. If I don't have any problems in the next 5 years, which I don't expect, it will be the best car I have ever owned. I love the safety features!!!

Like my new Niro, disappointed in the insurance

I really love all the options on my Touring edition. Sport mode is quick and easy. Love the cooled seats, though I sometimes feel like I'm sitting in a cold puddle. Just drove 2000 miles with 3 adults, 1 child, 4 suitcases. A little tight on space and gas mileage was in the mid to upper 30's due to speed, weight, and mountains, I suppose. I usually get 38-42.

Test car I've owned

This car is everything I dreamed of and more. Stylish, good leg room and headroom. The color is great, leather seats, everything about the Niro is great.
