KIA MOTORS not considered 1.0 litre turbo engine{which is best of the all variants considering its features} in MT option. They are offering 1.2 & 1.5 litre inferior engine for MT. Moreover they are offering very limited safety measures like airbags.(only 2 in MT).Generaly when a family moves , back seats are occupied by Childrens or elders.if any mishap happens on road , they will be in deep trouble. Hyundai Venue SX(O) variant offering all the must required features in MT with 1.0 litre turbo engine in a good price..Majority of Indian citizens are accustomed to drivr MT cars;pushing them for semi automatic or automatic cars will be a mamoth task, moreover to my knowledge automatic cars also having higher maintainance cost w.r.t MT cars.. KIA MOTORS should consider this fact in KIA SONET MT variants.
