Used 2017 Kia Niro Touring 4dr SUV (1.6L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid 6AM) Consumer Reviews
So, I love my car
Obviously not every car appeals to every person. I traded in a Chevy Traverse for this car as it turns out I am not a large car person. I bought this because it has a truly roomy back seat (including plenty of head room) as I have a very tall child. Also, I thought the price was good. I bought the Touring model so my mileage is not as good as the other models. I find it drives well, it's easy to handle, and easy to park. I drive mostly in the city. Shortly after buying it we drove from WA to Idaho and Yellowstone for the eclipse. I sat in the back seat most of the trip and was quite comfortable. The car handled well over several mountain passes. It is still taking me time to get used to the keyless entry/start. Can't say I am a fan of that. I miss remote start and pushing a button on the key fob to open the trunk. My husband loves driving the car too. I recommend this car.

Niro’s my Hero
I’ve been looking for a hybrid that seats 5. I also commute 90 Miles per day. The Niro is a perfect fit for me. It doesn’t have the greatest acceleration and lane passing, but it’s got everything else I want. Quite interior noise, comfy headrest, great technology, and a sporty handling that makes turning a lot of fun! It’s more affordable than its competition. I had a forester that I loved. I had a Chevy spark that I loved. The Niro is honestly a combo of the two. A hatchback with room! It doesn’t have the ground clearance so don’t expect an SUV. If it’s still a dream to drive!

Why a Niro?
After researching the possible decision to "go green", getting the best gas mileage, I felt that since I already owned a Kia product, that a Niro was worth looking at. After getting several offers online I ended up getting a Niro from the one I had bought from in the past. I've been driving my Niro for almost a month now and put about half the gasoline I would normally use. It is comfortable and has decent acceleration for a Hybrid. As of now I'm probably going to stick with the Niro line.

Tires not my cup of tea
I bought one of the Niros to Kansas. I love it—- except—- I noticed noises coming from the wheel areas. I could never pin down which wheel. I started complaining about the noise at about 12,000 miles. At 17,000 they put it up on the rack and said everything was fine. The noise was to be expected because of the two engines and road noise. I had had an Optima before this and had never had this issue. It has been inspected 3 times. They have told me that I’m not rotating the tires often enough. BS!! Every time I take it in to have the oil changed, I tell them to do what is needed. Now, at 34,500 miles they tell me my tires are cupping and that has been causing the noise. If you google cupping tires almost everything it says is related to suspension problems and could be serious. I’m told now that my suspension is fine. The dealership is going to replace my tires, that should have lasted another 15,000 miles. I’m told today that KIA put the wrong type of tires on this car and have had complaints about it. You’d think they would have mentioned this in the last 18 months. I’ve googled this and can’t find anything. I think I’m getting hoodwinked. I may be trading this very soon.
