THE SONET’S iMT HAS AMASSED QUITE A FAN BASE IN THE COUNTRY
-
A car with a manual shifter but no clutch doesn’t sound right for this territory”, said Vishal Jadhav when he stepped inside our Kia Sonet equipped with an iMT. The ace wildlife filmmaker who has earned several accolades has travelled the length and breadth of the country. In doing that, he has often chosen a conventional manual transmission vehicle which even though has taken him places has also caused him severe discomfort due to the continuous clutch movement. However, inside the Sonet, Vishal was pleasantly surprised with the absence of the clutch. Like Vishal, even Utham Hulikere, the owner of Chikmagalur’s second oldest coffee plantation, was impressed with the iMT version of the Sonet. Let us elaborate on what cheered up these two and our team members during our three expeditions with the Kia Sonet.
