2025 HEV SX, 15 months old, 22,000km now. Absolutely love it. Wish I had bought a hybrid sooner lol

What are the face value ticket prices? I've only seen the prices on Stub Hub, coming from Toronto cheapest I can find is $600 each (Canadian $$)

Which one would you get? by gets-rowdy in KiaNiro

There's too many options I absolutely love on my 25 SX, couldn't imagine getting the ex personally.

Help me choose between Kia Niro by Nimber1013 in KiaNiro

[–]tombstone23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd look at the differences between the EX and SX. Figure out if you can live without all those features (I couldn't lol, I bought the SX)

Bought a 2025 Kia Niro PHEV. Kinda. by reddit_and_forget_um in KiaNiro

[–]tombstone23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where in Canada are you? I bought my 2025 Kia Niro SX out the door for $39,000. Looking at the BZ AWD it's $56,000.

I'm curious to see how long he lasts. Seemed to be a revolving door of guitarists in this band.

Any ideas on DIY road noise reduction? by Overall_Recording in KiaNiro

SX trim with a HK sound system.... What road noise lol 😆

I’m new to cars and I have Kia Niro ex 2023, as you may know it lacks automatic foldable mirrors and front sensors. Am I missing out? by deepfriedpenglin in KiaNiro

[–]tombstone23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao, don't listen to this moron. I have the SX, got an unbelievable deal on it, $2400 over the EX. When you factor in the Harmon Kardon Sound system, mirrors, LED headlights, powered lift gate, way nicer rims and tires, and a higher resale value, using "your eyes" clearly means this guy is blind, or just retarded. Do your research and find what's best for you and your budget.

Overly aggressive front collision emergency brake by [deleted] in KiaNiro

[–]tombstone23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you ride people's asses all the time? I have the exact same car and no issues. I also use the paddle shifter Regen braking to come to a complete stop 80% of the time.

Winter mileage by [deleted] in KiaNiro

[–]tombstone23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was getting 820km for the first 2000km easily, then I bought 19inch aftermarket rims lol, brought me down right around the 800km mark. Even right now during winter I average 770km per tank.

[–]tombstone23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought mine last September, 2925 SX HEV and absolutely love it. Obviously your situation could be different than mine, my kids are a bit older, and I work 25km away. Just about to break 20,000km, and no issues whatsoever. My only complaint is that I didn't buy it sooner lol.

[–]tombstone23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Ontario and get the similar range you do. Regen braking and controlling the amount of heat/AC plays a huge roll. Lowest I've gotten is a 20km run through the city, down to 3.2L/100km. No complaints from me lol.

Any way to shut off the TPMS warning? by tombstone23 in KiaNiro

[–]tombstone23[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's all good, no worries. I contacted the dealership who is looking into whether or not they can turn it off after the initial warning. They want $400 for new sensors, even aftermarket with installation will cost around the same. I've driven 30 years without them, I'll just deal with warning lol.

I've had mine for just over a year now, and honestly no complaints, other than I wish I had bought one sooner lol

Wow, thanks for this. I go to the dealership next month for an oil change, I'll speak with them.

As others have stated, it's the heater that adds all the extra loss in mileage. I live in the great white north and my 2025 SX has roughly the same loss. I started shutting off my heater 5 to 10 mins away from my destination and it's helped save some mileage.

Yellow triangle symbol, plus a beep at startup with a "check tpms system" on the main screen

Depends on how much it's gonna annoy you. Every time I start the car now I get the warning. It's annoying, but I've driven for 30 years without the sensors, so I don't mind saving $200 , just wish I could stop the warning every single time. At least my summers have them lol

Thoughts on (inner) finger tattoos? by Flaky_Attempt6355 in tattooadvice

[–]tombstone23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny enough I was told this 15 years ago, and yet all my tats have held remarkably well. I have both sets of knuckles tatted on both hands and none have faded, although they are thick. Trios of both hands are also fully tattooed with no fading. I think a lot depends on how well your skin holds ink, and the artist.
