So far, so good. It’s proving pretty efficient, despite me having to traverse the Pennines every day from Manchester to multiple locations on various varieties of Yorkshire - it’s showing 4.2 miles per kWh despite doing very little urban running. KIA are pitching it against the Renaults 4 & 5, and it provides a bunch more practicality than the 5 and similar to the 4. By summer there’ll be two battery sizes, a 42.2 kWh First Edition (the one I have) and a 61 kWh variant. Official ranges are 196 and 281 miles. Even my less than optimal commute is producing a real world range of just under 180 miles. Comfortable, rides well, decent stereo, all good so far. http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=688647&v=e
