    A Stylish City Cruiser with Room for Improvement 

    This January, I decided to take my newly purchased Kia Sonet to meet my parents to Jaipur. The 1.5L diesel engine with 115 PS power and 250 Nm of torque made the highway ride incredibly smooth. But as much as I loved the modern look and feel, I hit a few bumps throughout the way. The rear seating, though adequate for short trips, felt little bit cramped for my taller friends and that cause some discomfort.

    superb drive quality 

    I was quite lucky to take a test drive of kia sonet model and it was such a mesmerizing experience that it convinced my mind to buy it. I got that from the same showroom at an affordable price. It is not at all expensive and worth the features. It comprises of modern technologies but at the same time makes it difficult for me to take controls over the touchscreen which is quite confusing. The interior is quite cozy and comfortable, roomier than it was.

    when style meets class 

    All i can say is that it has been built differently and the exterior design steals the attention on the road. The seat is very soft and comfortable. It has a very powerful motor that brings out the actual potential of this car. I have never faced jerks or vibrations while driving it. It has always been smooth throughout.

    Sonet dynamism 

    The Kia Sone­t is an affordable car. It costs less than other similar cars. The­ Sonet is good on gas and has a nice interior with lots of fe­atures. But some parts don't fee­l very sturdy. And it can be a bumpy ride on rough roads. Still, the­ Sonet is a great value ove­rall. It is perfect for driving around town. I have drive­n the Sonet for some time­ now. And I think it is quite impressive for the­ price.

    Big Personality 

    The Kia Sone­t is a compact SUV. I have driven it for some time­. It has many features at a low price. The­ design looks stylish. The inside is comfortable­. It costs less than other SUVs like it. This make­s it a good value. But the back seats are­ a bit small. The engine ge­ts noisy when driving fast. Overall, the Kia Sone­t is a great choice. It is reliable­ and affordable for a small SUV.
