Affordable car with premium experience

Pons-Kia Sonet is one of my favorite cars as the exterior look and gives a Premium feeling while driving, performance is mind-blowing you can consider that your money is worth it spending on this car, I am damn sure you will not regret it at all. Here service is also great by staff member all are professional. Cons- Let's talk about the cons of long driving you might experience some noises that can make you uncomfortable while driving. Maintenance cost is pretty high.

The best value for money family car

The delivery was 3 months delayed .The delivery process can be improved. The car is good to drive but gear is hard. The car looks super and the performance is nice. Service is good.
