Good choice

It's a budget car. Speed performance is good no sound coming from engine a very low voice. Engine power is too good. Break system is good. Average is good. The seat is comfortable good.go for it.

False promise from Kia

Kia is a cheating company .they fool the customers of India by giving false price. I have booked and waited for 2 months now i come to know that they suddenly increased price of 60000 rs on car price. If they cant give the car at offered price than why they did scam by false advertising about prices? Kia is not a brand they do just a false promise and big cheater. Never buy this. Any time they close the company and say bye bye to Indians.
