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.

Lack of power in engine

While driving obviously you feel the lack of Engine power as compare to other cars in this price range like breeza...I took the test drive of HTK+ model i did not get feel of driving as expected from KIA. Price is too high as compared to car performance...i guess if people wait little over than they may get some offers from kia but in this price without any offer a big no to this car from my side.
