Since Kia killed the excitement of buying the car, would not rate more than 5/10. Exterior is the only thing this cars makes other loose in this segment, but comparatively, Venue is equipped with more features at this price range and many dealers have started giving a discount of minimum 35K.
Don't know abt servicing and maintenance as this is absolutely new but expecting in and arnd service cost of Hyundai l. Driving experience is better to venue, in terms of power, but venue is smooth and venue IMT exactly feels like DCT drive.
Pros- very good car
Cons- the dumb management made the car fetch many bad ratings. Management needs a revamp and need good decision-makers, fools will only take the company to a downward spiral.
So
Buying exp- 3/10, had booked gtx+ bit ended up buying htx
Driving exp- 7/10, IMT is absolutely marvellous, have decreased the rating becoz the suspension is a bit tight and stiff
Look- 8/10
Performance- 7/10
Servicing and maintenance- 8/10
At this price range, hybrid technology was a must. Kia claims to manufacture premium cars, failed miserably with Sonet only because of the stupid management.
