Lack of power in engine

While driving obviously you feel the lack of Engine power as compare to other cars in this price range like breeza...I took the test drive of HTK+ model i did not get feel of driving as expected from KIA. Price is too high as compared to car performance...i guess if people wait little over than they may get some offers from kia but in this price without any offer a big no to this car from my side.

Bad experience

I was excited to buy my first brand-new car. The only upgrade required was the electric windows. After having it for a month I took it for a long drive there was a draft coming into the car, window felt like it was open. Not a very fuel-efficient car. Radio no sound after 2 years, apparently the wires are corroded and this is my fault, keep in mind this is a brand new car. Now the car is overheating and this is my fault as well. Rs 16000 they want me to pay. I am so disgusted I wish I never stepped into Mahindra to purchase my first car. They got the money from the bank and everything is just past the buck
