Hard to find anything to fault !

EX/HEV. Sliced a tire open on a storm drain outcropping while parking in the first week of ownership (my bad) and lack of a donut spare meant AAA flatbed wrecker ride to a garage. So now considering picking up a spare kit - which of course I'll probably never touch. Last car (Hyundai Elantra Touring) went 275,000 miles without a flat. Go figure. I keep my cars for a long time. This car is lovely, looks good inside and out, plenty of leg and headroom fore and aft, especially considering it's not a large car at all. Seats are a little narrow for me or maybe more accurately, the bolstering is a little to steeply angled for my "arse" - but in the past few weeks have noticed this less and less. Rides and handles well - not a sports car, but safe and solid and tracks straight and true with almost no driver input needed. Gets a little unsettled on erratic pavement, but only just a little. The suspension is clearly tuned for comfort, not the skid pad. But it is still decently fun to drive. Cabin seems exceptionally quiet. Stock sound system sounds very good to my ears. Car has more tech than I care to learn about (the printed manual is perhaps the only item I really dislike). The adaptive cruise control is outstanding, as is the lane keeping if you care to use it. On the interstate this thing really can just drive itself. Not sure if that's a good thing I'm getting 57 mpg by the Niros own "accumulative" widow calculation. But my own gallons pumped/miles driven math says I'm getting 55.3 - so the car is a little optimistic maybe? But still, with just a little moderation anyone should be able to hit the sticker EPA ratings of low 50s, or at least 50 mpg. If I hyper mile on secondary roads I can hit well up into the 60s. That's impressive. This is an easy car to recommended

I don’t right a lot of reviews however I am so upset and disappointed with my Kia Niro I felt I needed to inform others. I bought a Kia Niro EV vehicle and have never been so pissed off with the service or “customer support” (which should read NO customer support). The app is of no help. I set the app to charge my vehicle to 80% and every night it changes to only charge to 50%. So I can’t drive everywhere I need to. I have had problems with the 12 volt battery and had to pay the dealership $500 to replace the battery only to have it die again in less than 6 months. I normally would have changed it myself but I had to tow the vehicle to the dealership b/c I couldn’t get a jump start. So I had to have it towed twice. No acknowledgement or reimbursement on a battery that was under warranty. Kia sucks. Do not go with this company. I now have a EV vehicle that I can’t charge for more than 130 miles when it states you can get over 250 miles per charge. I was told to update the navigation system (which I don’t see what has to do with the charge but I attempted to do it) and when I had to do the update on my own with no support from the “NO support center” I had to fork over another $30 for a memory stick which could not be accepted or read by the vehicle. So now I am told to buy a different memory stick that costs $50 to see if that works. How much money are they thinking I have to fix all the issues that Kia EV vehicles have. Hell I bought a Kia b/c they are cheaper and now I see why. Don’t do what I did and buy a KIA, they won’t help, they will ask for more money and then expect you to fix their problems. I bought a new car to avoid issues and this has only been the worst decision in my life. Learn from my mistakes and don’t trust “they are a better company than 4 years ago”. They still suck, they won’t help and they will be costing you money while you have your car. Kia Sucks

Our last three cars were Souls. We loved them. The Niro is less boxy, but quicker and quiet. We did a one day 350-mile trip. It was very nice. another trip tomorrow and we look forward to it. we installed a charger at our house, and it is very convenient. It is a very nice car.
