Should you go for it?
Aside from the not-so-spacious back seat, it’s hard to fault the Sonet. It’s beautifully styled with good proportions and lots of striking details. The interiors are very well appointed, finished in high order and packed with features, many of which are first in class. It’s also effortless and very enjoyable to drive, and the diesel auto overshadows the turbo-petrol in almost every way; it’s absolutely brilliant. There are also other powertrain options to choose from, depending on your budget.
Verdict: Go for this car with your eyes closed!
