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.

A complete family car in budget

I just booked Sonet HTX 7DCT a week ago. It was love at first ride. I have taken test ride for Nexon AMT, Brezza TC, Venue DCT and Sonet DCT. Nexon's built quality is superb but AMT gearbox is not so responsive. Brezza is an overrated car. Look is boxy and old non turbo engine. Venue is more compact and rear is congested. Sonet in the other hand is good looking smart car. It's tiger nose grill makes it distinct from others. It's rear is also very attractive with full wrap around tail lamps. It's DCT gearbox with paddle shifters are very smart and responsive. You don't feel any lag at any speed. It's MID unit also unique and futuristic. It has electric sunroof which is icing on cake. Music system is fantastic. It's a complete family car within budget.
