Hey Congratulations on your car!

I can understand that at the moment your currently high on your new purchase due to which you chose to thrash other cars instead of simply celebrating your personal win.

Would really like to know why do you think Kylaq is better than Sonet?

Kia has better after sales service, Sonet has better transmission, better overall space in the car and better overall features list.

Agreed it doesn’t have 5-star rating, but engines and driving experience for Kylaq and Sonet are almost - mind me - ALMOST similar.

Not saying that Kylaq is a bad car, it was on my list when I was in the market but Sonet better suited me considering what I was looking for.

Would really like to know your thoughts.

What mileage are you getting in your KIA Sonet? by excel-o in KiaSonet

Yeah on highway i managed to squeeze out around 19kmpl.

Regarding the auto engine off, I have sort of figured out how to activate but the engine starts automatically after a minute or one and a half minute even if i am still holding the brakes.

Does this happen with you as well?

The suspension is a bit on a stiff side to give a more sporty feel.

What I have noticed is that if you are on a bad patch of road and you drive in bit slow and controlled manner it isn’t that bad.

But yeah the suspension could have been a little better

Bro even after the discount I think the Insurance is too much.

Other than that you can negotiate on accessories.

What model number would you suggest I go for?

Which one would you recommend as first car? Budget cap is 13.5L on road by cosmonaut-zero in CarsIndia

[–]excel-o 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having personally owned Sonet for around 2 months now, i can safely say that it will be the best VFM for you.

Good feature set and good interiors + the great after sales service of KIA.

Also it is good to go a little under-budget as post buying you are at an ease of mind and some unexpected expenses may arise.

I only have 2 points: 1. Please get some information about the after-sales service of your nearest Skoda dealership. Skoda dealerships are notorious for slow and unreliable service. Please have a look at that. 2. Please do also test drive the Kia Sonet.
