      I own this sonet since 8 months and have driven 15000 km so far. My driving experience of 15500 km so far. Combination of my previous car and this sonet. Coming to drive experience, its excellent drive on highways with good braking and stability. Suspension is on the harder side. During high speeds the cushioning effect is good, but if we go slow speed in city the pothole gives us more of an impact feeling. So city driving is good provided good roads are there .but if you have bad roads then you will get body pain. Coming to mileage, in city am getting 13 km/l and on highway getting 14.8 km/l with maintained speed of 100 to 110 km/h speed with normal fuel. If you use, speed petrol or v power from shell or xp95 petrol from Indian oil then, your millage on city will be 14.5 and highway 19+ and if you maintain 80 km to 90km/h speed then 20km/l Comfort level- Excellent on front row and second row. My family member's height is approximately 5.3 feet, so did not feel any uncomfort. But 5 members long ride is not advisable.(anything more than 4 hours journey) Service - so far done with 2 free service no complaint, 1- paid service. In paid service oil change and regular checks break and everything cleanup etc, charged 4700/- at 10000 km. So far no issues on service Safety - it has ABS & EBD. So twice I survived due to effective braking so ABS & EBD is good. Gear shift is smooth and since IMT has very good technology. Best for manual driver and city driving. No issues on gear shift. Cabin sound - Good insulation just like other cars. If you maintain 80-90 speed no sound in cabin at all. However if you go beyond this you will get some road and tyre sound. That is quite noticeable. Audio system - Bose - excellent. No words. After all it all depends on person's perception. I like it. Front seat cooling is more advantageous during summer. Luggage space is excellent. Cons - Night headlamp brightness is not effective. Even though it's LED. Suspension should be little on the softer side.

      The price range is too high. It doesn't seems to be value for money. Also, there is no top petrol variant(GTX) with manual transmission. At the same time Hyundai Venue have SX(O) turbo petrol top variant. I was waiting for the launch of Sonet. But it really disappointed me. So I switched my mind back to Venue.

      With much-waited sonet, I did finally booked on 1st Dec 2020, GTX IMT version got delivered on 23rd Dec 2020. It's much is excited to receive pearl white sonet. I would say none of the vehicles under sub 4m will give this much feature n performance n comfort. 1) IMT technology is excellent to go for any drive experience..either the first-time drive or experienced. 2) IMT is best for the number to. number or city driving.. 3) IMT is given pleasure driving n less maintenance n gives a feeling of manual transmission fun. 4) ventilated seat ....really helps when u sit for longer time either city or long ...the seats can be made cold or warm depending on the need 5) cabin sound is silent compared to other SUV in this segment 6) suspension good on highway n cushion effect. 7) millage I'm.getting 12.5 -14 in city Bangalore, on the highway with cruize 90km getting 19km. 8) so far no issues 9) audio is bosed speaker I personally love bose..n its really enjoy while driving. 10) on MID it gives cumulative / instant/ average mileage on the screen so that u can maintain the mileage. 11) Tyre pressure monitor option really good..to keep ur car floating properly 12) the best part is storage at back 392-litre boot is more than sufficient 13) turbo power is great I can reach 100km. with 2200rpm so not much engine sound inside n good milage after all decent driving keeps engine happy. 14) looks-wise excellent...no car on road..gives this much immense touch to your eye. 15) sunroof is best during driving on holiday with kids ... 16) wireless charging is really practically required..thanks to Kia 17) back seat ac with Mobile charging n compartment is good backage 18) air purifier keeps ur health comfort..as a second home 19) hill hold assist is seriously best part 20) cons - headlamp could have been still brighter 21) front parking n rear parking with camera helps a lot practically 22) ac control n does not feel pickup down 23) 10.5-inch screen covers much great view for map access n several activities 24) road stability is excellent 25) traction control inbuilt 26) cons- auto book opening is missing 27) armrest is best part practically front n.rear 28) cons- puddle lamp is Missing..however, I have added extra at door to There was a huge list. I'm.good with my selection... If anyone buys this GTX IMT then.no.open.regret. I'm.sure 100%

      1. Buying experience was really good. Test drove the vehicle 2 times. Sales guy from baner Pune, Manoj answered my every question. 2. Ride quality is extremely good. At low speed, you can feel all the potholes. But high-speed stability is fantastic. You can change lanes super quick. And with confidence. Handling is top-notch. 3. Looks great road presence is amazing. Just i didn't like the back of the car. It could have that LED instead of the reflector. 4. Services yet to experience. 5. Pros - feature loaded. All the features are very useful in real life and practical too. Ventilated seats clutchless manual transmission is a blessing. Cons. - Car is big from outside. But not that much space inside as compared to outside. And the Major con is Lag. There is turbo lag, there is clutch lag. Both the things can resolve by making changes electronically i guess. If KIA IS READING this PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT CLUTCH/GEAR LAG IN SERVICE. but I must tell you that lag is not uncomfortable. And you will get used to it after a few kilometres. Overall best Best and Practical buy if you want a car which can do daily commute and weekend trips or off-roading too.

      You don't get the same feeling inside any other compact SUV car. Once you sit in the car , the quality of interior is the main deal-breaker. You won't get much space in rear seats but you will get huge boot space. For a family of 4 it's perfect, you get the latest design suv feel and compact enough to handle in city and parking lot. Better to go for creata/seltos lower model if family is 4+ or budget is higher than 15lac. Otherwise, in the compact SUV segment, SONET is best of the lot and that's why expensive too.

      One can't imagine features beyond this within 20 lacs budget. This car is just perfect in exterior & interior. It's well ahead of other companies in Indian car market. My dream car and should be a companion for atleast a decade.

      Great car! Pros: 1) Plush interiors. So nice to get into. 2) Turbo petrol has a nice kick to it. 3) IMT is smooth and seamless. 4) Great safety tech. 6 airbags, VSM, ESC, HAC, EBD, ESC, etc. 4) Features. Ventilated seats (!), Lovely music system, brilliant visibility with the LEDs, etc. 5) Looks amazing from the front Cons: 1) Expensive. Especially the GT line. There are more economical options out there, although there will be compromises. Evaluated multiple options across price points and segments. This has the right mix of engine, features and most importantly, overall feel to the car.

      Its futuristic features and in future all the models will come automatic or semi auto. It is having fetures that most of the car will be having in next launch so not to worry. It is good.
