Surprising Hybrid

A nice vehicle...made even nicer by the fact that it's a hybrid crossover. Surprising pick-up for a hybrid and did not have the annoying 'hump' in the back of the storage bed. The battery life is still a question mark since it's not something KIA/Hyundai has been doing for a long time, but I've loved everything else they've done, so I was willing to take a chance. The only reason I did not purchase it was that it rides too much like a car. Not usually a complaint, I'm sure, but I prefer to ride higher?as in a larger SUV.

never thought I would buy a hybrid

I have a hour commute each way to work. I have always wanted a car with better gas mileage / hybrid but would never consider a prius or the like. This car is just what I wanted, nice styling , all the features I wanted and hybrid. All at a price that did not break the bank.

Wonderful car with great gas mileage.

I was looking for a hybrid that 5 people could comfortably fit into and still have room for all my work baggage. First day, I had the five people and we were delivering food to 11 seniors. It all worked out. The passengers were comfortable, the seniors got their food and I hardly noticed a change in the reading of the fuel gage. Everyone was a winner.

Kia Niro

After I test drove one, I knew that this car was for me. With 400 miles on it and 45 to 52 mpg it's one of the finest cars that I drove, and I've been around for a long time. I would recommend it to anyone, but getting one will be difficult as demand exceeds availability. Fortunately, I obtained one off the transport truck. With the 10 year warranty and 5 year 60,000 unlimited warranty there's no reason not too look at driving one and testing it as I did.

Smooth and Quiet

After test driving the Kia Niro and Soul. I choose the Niro for the smooth and quiet driving style. Although, the design and larger storage are cinched the deal.
