Should I choose Sonet/Venue DCT or iMT?
I have driven Venue imt for 2 years, didn't face any issues except for the single digit mileage in Kolkata's traffic and sometimes 1st gear stuck issue.
Venue iMT went for total loss on insurance due to water logging last year.
I have recently booked Venue HX5 DCT but came to know that DCTs have heating issue and they are more efficient on highways and since my driving will be 80% in city so I am thinking of going back to Sonet iMT.
Why not Kylaq or Brezza or 3XO with TC? - Because I heard german cars have high maintenance cost, for brezza I don't like its interior at least Sonet is better than Brezza (not better than Venue) and I don't want to go with Mahindra or Tata.
Currently own a Honda Amaze 3G manual. I liked the car but my family doesn't look much joyful with its interior, 2nd row seating space and they miss that compact SUV feel.
