Is the gimmick third row really usable in the Sorento?

Plain and simple, it's a gimmick. A Telluride or a minivan is the only option if you need a real third row. The is just too cramped to be practical.

It depends, I think, on what you expect. It's a nice bonus if you're coming from a two row SUV. If you’re downsizing from a minivan, you’ll be disappointed.

Our kids' carpool uses ours all the time. It’s not luxurious, but it’s big enough to do the job and it saves us from having to buy a much larger vehicle.
Is the Sorento's DCT transmission all it's cracked up to be or is it more headache than it's worth?

I love the DCT in my Sorento. Once you get used to it, the shifts are lightning fast, it really wakes the engine up. All you need to do is change your driving style a little.

I have had nothing but trouble. It hesitates in traffic, hesitates when I need power, and I already had to replace it once under warranty. If you can, stick with the regular auto.

I think it’s great for enthusiasts, but maybe not the best choice for a family hauler. If you like driving and don’t mind some quirk, why not? It’s not smooth and simple, if that is what you want.

It’s fine 95% of the time, but that 5% when it acts up is really frustrating. The occasional headaches aren’t worth the performance gains, I’m not sure.

I was worried about the DCT horror stories, I have zero issues with mine after 30k miles. I think a lot of problems come from people treating it like a regular automatic.

It is definitely acquired taste. I hated it for the first month but now I can’t see myself going back to a regular auto. The key is to have its quirks and to learn how and when to adapt.

I regret getting the DCT. For daily driving, especially in stop and go traffic, it's just not smooth enough. I'm always afraid it's going to break on me.
What is the comparison of the iMT transmission in the Sonet Anniversary Edition with manual and automatic transmission?

The iMT is a game-changer when it comes to city driving, I've driven it. Goodbye clutch leg in traffic jams!

It’s a nice middle ground but I miss the full control of a traditional manual. Perfectly timed clutch work is something satisfying.

For newbies, it's great. For enthusiasts, however, it saps some of the fun of driving. I only like full manual or full auto.

But the iMT is smart, and I am concerned about long term reliability. There are teething issues with new tech.

Perfect for my daily commute. Traffic is easy but I still have control of gears when I want it. Best of both worlds!

I'm not convinced. This all seems to be a solution to a problem that didn’t really exist. All you need to do is learn to drive manual properly!

I’ve driven both, and the iMT is surprisingly intuitive. I got used to it in about 10 minutes and now I love it.

It’s more fuel efficient than a traditional auto, but not quite as fuel efficient as a skilled manual driver. But it's a good compromise.
But does Sonet Anniversary Edition's styling really set it apart on Indian roads?
06 January 2025 07:17
I think it does stand out, but not in a flashy way. But the tangerine accents aren’t over the top.

I have to say, I've seen regular Sonets with some aftermarket mods that look more distinctive. Indian tastes are too subtle for the Anniversary Edition.
