Climate control can die

This car gets 543 Mpg and I've had it for 3 years now. But I no longer trust Kia. After 80k miles the tech in the car has begun to act weird; the windows, the touch screen, and THE CLIMATE CONTROL!!! omfg the light to indicate its on is never own and the climate control turns on by itself! I went to get it fix and its no longer covered after 60k miles. No kia isn't going to pay for it. Im sick and done with kia. other than that I've taken this car off-road, from California to new york and back. Its a good car other than that but its annoying

Disappointed I expected 51 mpg city/46 mpg highway

I was expecting to get this car for economical errands around town. I saw the 2019 Kia Niro rated as 51 mpg average in the city, but the best I get for short hops (for example to work and back...total of 3 miles roundtrip) is 25 mpg average. For slightly longer commutes (for example, to school and back...total 12 miles) I am getting 39 mpg. That includes me driving very conservatively (crawling to 10 mph after a dead stop) and the instant fuel economy is 9.8 mpg. Often I have a line of cars behind me because I drive so slowly. If I were to make the decision to purchase over again, I would not have bought it. I am going to check the gas mileage manually to see if in fact I am actually getting poor fuel economy or is this an instrumentation problem. It seems like the engine is pulled into play when the electric motor should be running the vehicle at slow speeds. I took the car into the dealer to have this hybrid vehicle checked out and they found nothing wrong with it. I am not sure that I will keep this car but I certainly am not happy with the Kia Niro.
