Family Car

Kia sonet is indeed a good car. it offers a stylish design, A range of modern features with good fuel efficiency. Kia Sonet is a compact SUV. It is a family car.

Very Robust

I ve bought it very recently and travelled almost 2K distance. Below are my reviews. Exterior Very Masculine like SUV, Very Royal and roomy feeling. Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Spacious and strong. Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is smooth and great, works like a turbo fitted engine and great driving in highways. Fuel economy would have been better as I get only 12\ltr in city when competitors are serving 17. Gearing is fun. Very handy. Ride Quality & Handling Riding is very majestic and appealing. Handling has a problem in two areas: 1. Right side  - behind the side mirror till the windshield will have a blind spot and cant see anyone approaching immediately. 2. Left side - Near rear door handle will not give clear visibility as the area of the side mirror is small. These two are my findings of the car in traffic. Final Words Awesome - Go for it. Its a budget car which is a pride. Areas of improvement Mileage for sure. Blindspots.Design & Style, Gear Position and featuresMileage
