Picked up my Niro EX on February 21st, 2017.
Traded in my 2012 Prius.
Love higher seating; and Android Auto, found my way home every time LOL.

How do you like the conventional transmission vs. the Prius CVT? I test drove one, and like the better control and feeling the shifts. When I put it in Power Mode,there was no lag at all accelerating from a stop. I like a shifter over a joy stick also.

Mine has a little hesitation when starting from stop. I will have dealer correct that.
Transmission shifts very smoothly. Haven't notice any differences between two, except
upon accelerating to high speed there is no "whining" like in Prius.
Niro is a much quieter ride.
