      I traded in my Subaru Impreza and Civic Coupe for this

      20201128_155905.jpg

      Kia Niro Touring.
      Orange Hybrid Hatchback and I paid an extra $10 a month for a full 10 year 125k mile bumper to bumper warranty.

      Why such a practical and boring car you ask?

      Because now I can buy all the project cars I want and not feel bad lol.

      It doesn't drive bad, just not fast. Only 139hp but I'm getting 43 hwy and 53 city mpg. This is the car I would recommend to my non-car friends, $4k off sticker and it came in my favortie color. Couldn't say no.

    • RE: Why? Just...Why?

      @trivet He probably didn't spec the FX4 package but wanted 4WD and I bet every F150 on the lot with the options he wanted had FX4 along with the 4WD. If the dealer is already throwing $10k off the sticker, who cares if you have packages you didn't want!

      So this weekend, I test drove a Dodge Charger and I loved it. It is the anti-thesis of what I usually love; small, reliable cars. But I thought it was a great car and shockingly nimble for its size.

      The real kicker here is that it wasn't one of the various V8 Chargers, it was an AWD V6 GT model. The AWD was pretty good at pulling around corners and the V6 has low enough power that I actually got to rev it out without hitting illegal speeds. It felt like a larger and heavier WRX.

      I think I would have still liked the 5.7 or at least some turbos on the V6 (Giulia V6?), and I am always nervous of Dodge build quality. The real deal breaker though was the price. The sticker said $45k! Yeah, no. A base Scat-pack with the 6.4 starts at $40k and the Scat Pack wide body is $46k.

      In all, I really liked it but I don't know if I could get over those negatives.

      @jminer Thanks! I'm also a sucker for an interior that matches the exterior

      Orange stitching and piping and that dash bar all in the same shade of orange. My 5 year old loves it lol. She calls it the "tiger car"

    • RE: Canada's making me jealous because their loaded up Kia Seltos SX Turbo is more loaded than Murrica's

      @montegoman562 It's only a five year loan, I might tap it out once I buy my next house here in a few months. I drive a lot but the Plug-In still makes sense because it's a lot of short drives that let me come back home to charge.

      @montegoman562 Well, poop. I could have had everything I wanted on my Niro 😞 Minus the Orange paint of course but I would have been happy with Red.
      I hesitate doing an exchange because I know in the next 2-3 years there's going to be a big change in battery tech.

      It's a 2020 plug-in that I was looking at, my touring special edition is the one missing the heated seats.

      Check the black banner at the top. It's really weird

      @texturedsoyprotein I forgot about the LED headlight option. You can only have 3 of the four. My previous statement applies to the Plug-in. It's complicated for no reason though. Why can't I spend more for everything?

    • RE: Canada's making me jealous because their loaded up Kia Seltos SX Turbo is more loaded than Murrica's

      @montegoman562 True but only on the standard Niro. If you go for the Plug-in hybrid model or want LED headlights, no heated seats. It's really weird and specific.

      @texturedsoyprotein Found this out with my Niro. There's no way to get a US spec Niro with adaptive cruise control, Harmon Kardon audio and heated seats. You can only pick two out of the three. I wanted a loaded one but there's no such thing.

    • RE: I'm on the hunt for something green

      @akioohtori said in I'm on the hunt for something green:

      @e90m3 Yeah that sounds right. Neat story and neat look into the world of watch collecting. My takeaway is that you could order a Rolex through the army purchasing/ discount thingy (seriously can't remember what the right name is but I think it is the Exchange...). As a civilian employee I don't get those perks, so I can't check to see if that is still a thing.

      Are you referring to a PX (post exchange)?

      @exage03040 I picked the Merc for nothing more than it was a smaller car. I like the G90 but I personally don't want a large luxury car.
