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.

I love TUV300

drive cool, brakes are good, value for money, now my KM is 106400 and running well, only 10000 kms regular services. changed 1st set of brake pad @ 60000. Tyres @ 60000, until now there is no problem for the clutch. I am happy with TUV300 T8 after 5years, I love TUV300
