Turtle wax is obviously great! Have been using it since ages. By any chance you get to visit their studio in Bangalore (I think it’s near yehlanka) do try them out. Else any detailing shop will be able to fix this, don’t be heat broken over it! | |

| ![]() Hi fellow members, I recently took ownership of a Kia Sonet GTX+, and also came to know about the wireless Android auto/Apple carplay feature whish is missing. Apparently, this feature is available in the lower variants with the 8 inch touch screen and not in the top end (GTX+) with 10.25 inch screen. I also remember reading in some other forum about this feature coming via an update for GTX+. Can someone confirm the news about this update, when it is expected and why is that GTX+ doesnt have this feature, while lower variants have? TIA |

Hi, I have used scratch remover purchased via Amazon (about 500/-) and I found it to be reasonably good to hide minor scratches. |

1. After driving on dirt roads, a lot of dust settles at the rear wind screen. Sometimes, its so bad that I couldn't see through it. Design of the rear end of the car appears to be an issue. 2. A lot of dust settles on the door sills/frames, which is difficult to clean near the hinges. The sealing of the doors appears to be inadequate. 3. The rubber stoppers at doors tend to fall off (flimsy). 4. F/E is very sensitive to the aircon. I found a difference of 4-5kms/L when driving uphill. 5. UVO does not operate most of the times on mountains. It cannot connect to the Server. 6. The route suggested by the built in Navigation system was incorrect most of the times on mountains. Google is certainly a more reliable option there. | |

| ![]() Did a Trip to Madikeri (Bangalore, Mysore, Kushal Nagar, Madikeri) in Kia Sonet HTX imt. Stayed there for two days. Here is my experience. First the Good part; * The car looks gorgeous, especially the intense red colour. Sharing two pictures. * AC is very effective. Ride quality (!) is good, in most roads. Spacious enough for 4 people, and their (!) luggage. * The manual selection of gearbox in the imt gives the freedom to choose the suitable gear corresponding to the speed (or is it the other way around). *Comfortable drive on Highway. The negative points are; *I felt powerless at two kinds of situations. (1). When I try to overtake other vehicles at highways, if I am at 4th are 5th gear, the car keeps on moving parallel to other vehicle, panickingly so, even if I had foored the accelerator pedal. I have to downshift to 3rd or 2nd gear before attempting to overtake. I had never felt this panic, in my old Santro Car. It looks like, I have not understood the fundamentals of driving. (2). When climbing uphill roads in Madikeri, especially where the homestays are located, I had to move in 1st gear to make any forward progress ( it was described so in the manual too), and also not press the accelerator too hard so that the rpm does not cross 4000 ( as recommended). It was disappointing. Many cars like Swift desire and Maruti Brezza seems to be zooming past. * The FE at highways, wi AC on was at best 14 km/l ![]() ![]() |

In my Honda City however, most slopes other than extreme ones are easily tackled in 2nd gear since there is no turbo lag of any kind to speak of. On your second issue of lack of power during overtakes, that seems quite strange to me. 4th gear should have enough power especially if you are in the turbo band to effect overtakes, unless the car you are trying to overtake is also accelerating very hard at a faster pace than you are.

The FE displayed at any instant at the instrument cluster is the average FE till that time. Today morning, after starting from Mysore I could see 16KM/l before reaching Kengeri, with AC on. By the time I reached my residence in CV Raman Nagar, it dipped to 13.5Km/l. | |

| ![]() Good Morning Visited Mohali dealer yesterday and was told by the sales person that HTK + G 1.0 Turbo GDI DCT is being discontinued due to lower demand. TThough,I could sense his sales pitch in selling IMT versions more. Any news from anybody on this? |

| ![]() Discontinuing HTK Plus 1.5 diesel AT of Sonet is a surprise for me. I thought this variant was in demand as I saw quite a few pieces lying in the dealer stockyard for delivery here in Chandigarh. HTK plus AT diesel is reasonable priced and a great choice for AT customers on a budget. |
