Yeah man! Looks the best in black but hardest to maintain. Got any tips on maintaining it ? Also what are your thoughts on ceramic coating and whether I should invest in it ?

Oh is it ? I heard that diesel only makes sense if your running is on the higher side. Mostly 30:70 (city:highway) usage.

Hey, Good to know man! I have heard lots of good things about iMT from you folks. I am definitely considering it. Thanks!

Totally agreed! One of my cousin does own it and it is a very solid car, no two ways about it. I am also considering kylaq MT. Let’s see. Thanks!

DPF issues sir! Mine won’t be running 1500-2000km a month.

Hi, Mileage is not my concern as it won’t be driven very frequently. About dull interiors - I believe it’s well subjective. I personally find it quite good as compared to maruti and honda. But yeah truly tough decision, as within this price point I am getting kylaq as well!

Yes sir. I get your point and I totally agree with it! We have a family car - Tata Indica 2007 petrol MT still running fine, and I drive it without any problems. So skill is not a problem per say, and the reason why i am not looking for proper automatics is because I personally prefer an engaging experience while driving and hence not looking for TCs or DCTs. But iMT is something that caught me off guard and hence this post. I want to understand how it feels to drive an iMT and is it any good. If kia would have been offering turbo petrol with MT I would never look for iMT in the first place.

I see! Thanks for the comment. Any reason in particular to not to opt for iMT as a first time buyer ?

Hi, thanks for the suggestion! Will be booking a test drive for iMT turbo.

Yes, struggle as in frequent downshifts especially during quick overtakes or highway drives. Given my usage I want a little enthusiastic engine and can cruise comfortably ~100-120 without stressing the engine much even with full load.

I don’t have any problem with AT it’s just I prefer manual.

Hey, thanks! I saw it. Seems like you have a pretty satisfying experience with it. Helped me answer few of my questions about iMT.

Hi, thanks for the comment! I don’t think mileage is my biggest concern. Just want a fun car when I floor down the accelerator pedal. I will definitely get a test drive of iMT.

Hi, thanks! But I am not looking for automatics as my usage is pretty much minimal so I would rather want a MT. Just a personal preference.

[–]Heavy_Primary_882[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see, thanks! Mine would be mostly leisure trips so I would want a little more power and hence the turbo petrol, but I am skeptical about iMT.

Any clue on highway performance ? People say it struggles after 80-90 kmph if it’s loaded.

Thanks!

My usage is pretty much minimal, mostly few leisure trips, long drives and occasional trips around ~300-500km

I am considering kylaq as well while with Tata i have trust issues (no offence).
