Has anybody else noticed that it is virtually impossible to keep a Niro even decently clean in the winter? I know I live in a filthy winter environment where the roads are usually covered in salt but this is nuts. I've had other hatchbacks and minivans (currently own a 2014 Dodge Caravan) and yes they get dirty on the tailgates but not to the point where the taillights are quickly virtually invisible. I expect to wear out the rear wiper in short order and will probably have a scratched rear window come spring. What I save in fuel, I may eat up in car washes!
Overall, I love this vehicle but this particular aspect is VERY annoying, particularly with a "non-powered" liftgate.
