Like everything, especially the lease price tag. I needed to come in under $270/mo and did with the 2019 Niro EX.

Approx $4900 in rebates eases the sticker hit. Remarkably tight turning circle is handy. Amazon was selling the Juice Box 240v charger for $399. Haven’t mastered all the gadgetry as our garage is too damn cold here on the right coast. Read the caution about mounting different size tires as I have mounted 17” snow tires I planned to use!? Was chagrined that we paid too much for the car until the buffoon in the White House cost me mucho more in my RMD’s by his inane comments. Just turned 9K miles. No problems in 2 years approximately 30 miles/charge. No change in home power consumption with JuiceBox charger usage. Previously had 3 Mazda3,s. Niro less fun but it’s growing on us. Car seems well made. Chose it over a Kona EV because of range anxiety, more interior room and solidity. Wife loves heated steering wheel, memory heated leather seats. Bought a mini spare tire for $100 piece of mind. Michelin tires wearing well, ok in light snow. Modern TPMS gives accurate specific Psi by tire.

Terrible car, just skip it

Where to start. - lack of power, struggles to make it through the grapevine, you'll be stick at 55 or less - seats are ungodly uncomfortable for more than 30 minutes - maintenance issues at 3k miles (power train) - has no life when you drive it, so it steals yours... Soul-sucking drive -infotainment screen is small and does poorly in sunlight - speakers/audio are worst I've ever heard in a car - blind spots are surprising and numerous - bad turn radius - terrible handling/cornering, if you're driving around a corner you'll need to reduce speed significantly - blinkers are dim and hard to see, people don't see them - loud! The engine is super loud when you're not on ev mode Just stay away, so many better cars

Great car. Great warranty. Computer controlled propulsion. Poorly written manual.
