This week we share our first impressions of the 2023 Kia Niro. We discuss the Niro's hybrid and electric powertrains, its promising fuel economy estimates and how the 2023 redesign seems more like a refresh. We also answer an audience question about vehicle service— and whether it's better to visit a dealer or an independent repair shop.
SHOW NOTES:
0:00-15:30 - 2023 Kia Niro 1
5:31 - Question: Is it a good idea to bring a vehicle to an independent repair shop for routine maintenance?
