Niro is available exclusively in non-petrol variants.

Would you not simply procure petrol at that point? You are correct; you are assuming certain disadvantages (complexity) without reaping the advantages (savings and environmental benefits). I am unable to provide answers to your other enquiries.

Hello, I own a Kia Rio, which has proven to be exceptionally reliable. My daughter is in search of a quality used vehicle that is little larger than mine, prompting me to consider the Niro. Regrettably, home charging appears unfeasible; although she has adequate space, she resides in a rental property and lacks a separate electrical meter. I have two enquiries: Would you purchase a Niro, knowing that you would predominantly operate it on petrol? I believe that hybrids are more sophisticated and that their servicing may be costlier than that of diesel or petrol vehicles. There may be further disadvantages of which I am unaware. Secondly, if she seeks a conventional diesel or petrol vehicle, what possibilities are available from Kia? I can observe their present production (predominantly hybrid or electric), but I am unaware of when they ceased manufacturing diesel or petrol models, particularly in the larger body sizes. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Is the battery included in the 7-year/100,000-mile guarantee for their hybrid and electric vehicles? Thank you for your counsel.

After 6600 miles, I have yet to encounter anything approximating this condition. I recommend taking it to the dealer for inspection.

Negative, I have not. The nearest information I received indicated that the front radar was unable to detect any objects. It was also a clear day. It occurred once and has not recurred thus far. I am uncertain whether your issue would generate any codes. It may be beneficial to investigate it.

Is there no one else experiencing this issue?

2025 CX70, 3,000 miles. Whenever I stop behind a vehicle at a traffic light, the front camera activates and emits a continuous beeping sound, indicating that I am dangerously close to the car in front, regardless of whether I am two feet or six feet away. This issue has become extremely frustrating, as it did not occur when I initially purchased the vehicle; it began approximately three weeks ago. I have attempted to modify the safety settings, but it has made no difference. I would like to know if there is an action I can take, or if I need to schedule an appointment and bring it in. I am curious if this issue has occurred or is occurring for others as well.

While the pricing at wiperblades appear competitive, additional mailing fees may render them costlier than alternatives.

I have utilised Bosch blades several times, which are far cheaper than those at ECP and Halfords.

I purchased the Bosch A844S from GSF in August for £31.19. At that time, this was far less expensive than other options; however, it appears that prices on Amazon, eBay, and similar platforms are now considerably lower. The primary issue I encountered was positioning the wipers vertically for proper installation.

Fitment can occasionally provide a challenge with aftermarket components. I obtain my from MB. No frivolity, then. Additionally, several aftermarket blades may have been stored for several years, resulting in aged rubber.

Bosch wiper blades are available from Halfords, Euro Car Parts, and eBay.

My vehicle has consistently utilised genuine Mercedes wiper blades; however, my parents' and sisters' vehicles are equipped with Bosch Aerotwin blades, which have garnered no complaints and are undoubtedly superior to the original VAG counterparts.

I possess a 2020 C200 (W205) Mercedes and want the replacement of the front wipers. I have received a quotation of £70+ from Mercedes and £50 from Arnold Clark. Is this pricing equitable, or might I secure a more advantageous offer elsewhere?

Several years ago, a relative of mine acquired a Mercedes E220 for himself. The vehicle, around five years old, was rather impressive; his typical preferences are the Honda Accord or Nissan Primera. This was his first prestigious German automobile, and he was understandably excited. He guided me on a tour and took me on a drive. What emerged from his mouth astonished me. He informs me that this Mercedes requires servicing every two years or after 18,000 kilometres, indicating low operating costs. He typically drives approximately 5,000 miles, resulting in no funds available for two years. He informed me that this car will entail lower service costs compared to his last Honda Accord. He was willing to maintain the Mercedes less regularly than the Honda, which he would service for every MOT, despite having spent a considerable amount on the car. I attempted to suggest that he disregard the service indicator and invest some funds in car maintenance; nevertheless, he was unyielding, since the computer dictated otherwise. Three decades ago, driving a BMW or Mercedes was regarded as a symbol of prestige, particularly when the streets were predominantly populated by Ford Sierras and Vauxhall Cavaliers. Prior to the Mondeo and Vectra. One required substantial financial resources (in my region, akin to a drug king or pimp) to operate a BMW or Mercedes. They have now extended the program to include three years of complimentary access. Over a span of three years, BMW may perform only one oil change, resulting in minimal costs for them. A recent acquisition of a BMW now appears comparably priced to a Mondeo and Vectra. Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear stated that BMWs will be more prevalent on the streets than Mondeos.

The service intervals were determined by marketing initiatives rather than engineering considerations. They determined that servicing might be extended to approximately 15-18k without incurring significant claims on the 100k warranty. In actuality, even contemporary and entirely synthetic oils deteriorate. The pivotal threshold for the majority of engine oils occurs at approximately 6,000 miles or more. By 12,000, they are all essentially exhausted. I cannot remember the source of the study links (perhaps Bob is the oil expert), but there has been an investigation of used engine oils indicating that a significant reduction was observed at the 6,000-mile mark.
