Hi Sebuwa. Really helpful. I’m really caught between this and the Suzuki Fronx and hoping to make a decision by end of week. Can you help? Maybe there are even better alternatives. I was set on the sonet but this has me a little worried
@sebuwamАй бұрын
Oh apologies for late response. Eish, based on pricing I think Fronx is a bettee option. This is good quality overall but it lacks a lot of things at its price point and Fronx will sort that out with less money at R354K

How’s it Mpho? Great review as always. I honestly thought this Sonet was gonna be better than the outgoing one. My wife and I considered it as we finally wanted to trade in the Kia Rio, the 2 airbags were a no from me, then those manual aircon controls on lower models, including the 1.0T variant which is the only one we wanted for obvious reasons, coming from a Rio that lacked power and a turbo engine. Sonet would excel if the Chinese cars were not there, I wouldn’t touch the Magnite, too many problems from owners.
@sebuwamАй бұрын
Sizwe my brother, I am well, hope you are too. I could not agree more, I would not trade in the Rio for the Sonet honestly. The Chinese have already infiltrated the market it in a disruptive way and the Sonet, as good as it is, will definitely get a challenge from what they offer on the other side. It is quality though yoh🔥
@tshupetsomonedi7 күн бұрын
We are also considering the Sonet but the outgoing 2023 model. I don't really see any improvement on the newer models except for the rear seat splitting and a few look updates. You're right about the Kia Rio, we recently sold it, it lacked a lot of power. Our 2017 Ford Figo is much better.

At 366 competing with corrola cross hmm, Should be against fronx... Mm not sure but looks premium.. Nice cvt
@sebuwamАй бұрын
Looks and feel premium compared to the others, just has less features at it's price point and that's my only issue.

Just buy the Baleno, Cross or Fronx and go home with extra cash...If you don't need ground clearance, the Baleno / Starlet is amazing for features. Keyless entry, Climate Control, leather steering, full LEDs, Footwell and Puddle lighting plus see me home lighting. Kia is doing a VW on us now...

Kia is a great car and practically speaking you hardly see them accidents caused by kia cars.

Arguable as the Sonet is much more quality, you can feel it even when you get in but the reality is that features sell more these days, so I hear you there👌🏾

I would take this kia cvt than the toyota one, which screams and holds the revs up. At least, this one simulates a normal auto box.

💯💯. You are on the money, this is a proper CVT, reminds me of Chery CVT, Toyota and Nissan's ones are loud and make the engine scream yoh

KIA prices are ridiculous, they are pricing themselves out of the market. All the segments it's competing against are way cheaper than this. Soon they will discontinue this car as they did with RIO.

So far it is selling, top 15 best selling cars but I am not sure if it will keep the momentum, the Chinese are coming with everything they have yoh!

The pricing is just ridiculous I changed my mind in 2021 when I was getting this car and went for Jolion. I just don't like CVT and Sonet is just empty there's no features there.
@sebuwamАй бұрын
At that point Jolion was risky, only a few knew that it was a steal, I know it back then and even today I would pick Jolion over Sonet🙂
