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.

Don't burn your money

I had bought this 2018 and just drive 3000 kilometers no mileage no ac work low power hard gear shifting hill drive so bad no hearing about complaints by Honda Atlast I sold my car 2.5 lakh less please don't buy you can buy in this segment brezza smart hybrid 22 mileage with automatic Tata Nexon also.

Honda WR-V Road Test

By Sagar Bhanushali29 Oct 2017

If there is a hatchback-based crossover out there that shrieks ‘practically sufficient’, it’s the WR-V from Honda. On sale since March 2017, this mini crossover is still a newcomer in its segment which includes cars like the Hyundai i20 Active and the Toyota Etios Cross. But unlike all its rivals that are more or less the same as the hatchbacks they are based on, the WR-V is a legitimate crossover, one that’s fairly different from the Jazz. It bucks the trend with a whole new beefed up look, some high-end features and updated mechanicals over the Jazz.
