Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox It just picks you up in any gear, unlike swift( once you apply a break you have to change the gear) , here in Santro you feel like just get going.I drove 140 km/hour felt no shaking, no hindrance. To me it absolutely fine. 6 years I have been using Santro xing LS and I dont want to sell it.Get around 16-18km/ litre in city and 20 km on highways.

Ride Quality & Handling Just easy to handle and very easy to handle, very low maintainance cost( except silencer pipe- which you need to change very often).

Final Words I feel its absolute value for money, security, fun in driving.

Areas of improvement Definitely clutch part and little bit milage improvement. And the whole body tilts when you turn ( is this intentional or what I dont know, which I felt not good). For ex: Toyoto Innova- even if you take shortest cusrve the body remains still and you dont bend( or lean)  where as in Santro, it makes you to lean.

Fantastic driving experience, space, Looks, easy maintainanceClutch ( its very hard) , sound when u close the doors

Buying experience: Worst experience of my life PLZ BEAWRE OF HYUNDAI PARTSS TOO EXPENSIVE HARD TO MAINATAIN AND SHORT LIFE OF PARTS ..N VERY POOR MILEAGE ..10 KM ITS A CHOTA HATHI .ELEPHANT MAT PALO ...HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE ..
Riding experience: VERY BAD...........Is acha ... Bike p ghumo
Details about looks, performance etc: PETROL PUMP CHAHIYE ISKA LIYE ...
Servicing and maintenance: VERY COSTLY PARTS..........Bhagwan hi bachay
Pros and Cons: TAKE UR OWN RISK PURCHASE OF NEW SANTRO N OLD ....

The car doesn't have the punch you long for. The space is mediocre and the build quality is low. The suspension feels rigid and doesn't feel with it. The infotainment system is of Good quality but ancient. The cooling system works wonderfully the seats feel good to sit in while the back seats not having is a bummer.

Gear ratios are perfect. Overall riding is good. But still missing so many features in interior. Best for family utilities. Lack of sporty look. Maintenance and genuine parts are costy.

Among-st my 3 cars Santro has always been my favorite of all time, The comfort I feel while driving this car is commendable, When it comes to driving in traffic areas Santro gives you best handling... Pick up and acceleration is so good that even today after 7 years it can beat lot many new era cars when on highway... This car is queen of all time... Performance has always been up and maintenance is minimal.... This car remain in my heart forever

 

Exterior Good Looking Exterior. Good looking head lights.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) It is also good.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Performance is very good. Milage in City 12-14 kmpl and in Highway 16-18 kmpl (AC on.).

 

Ride Quality & Handling A good ride quality and handling. Very Good for city ride. Easy driver entrance and exit. Easily parkable. Top Speed in Guwahati Highway 145 km/hr in very good controlling 4-5 times.

 

Final Words I have a Santro Xing XO model, completed 4th year in September 2010 running 39,500 km without any major engine problem. Just one or two whel alignment and balancing and oil change.

 

Areas of improvement Clutch padel is awkwardly placed. It needs to move to left a bit. Look for the left foot rester because shoes often stuch under clutch padel in hurry. Leg room for back seat and seat is to be lean back for more comfort. Back power window switch should be in the side of each door and one or two roof AC Vents is alos needed.

 

Performance, Fuel economy, style, speed and handling.less leg room, middle power window switch, straight back seat

 

Exterior Good.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good in petrol not in LPG , Gas smells really bad inside, when we fill it up , and the back dicky space is fully covered by stephny tyre, so that is also not good.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Worst ever i havent seen any of that like santro LPG, when four members goes in a Bridge it is not going up in the 2nd gear, we need to drop them out and go up and again make them inside.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Driving is good and in high ways if we need to overtake a bus(private) in a empty road it takes 2-3 minutes minimum.

 

Final Words DO NOT BUY A SANTRO CAR WITH A LPG . I HAD A BIG HEAD ACHE , RIGT NOW IAM FREE I SOLD IT NOW, IAM HAVING TOYOTA INNOVE ITS JUAT AWESOME,

 

Areas of improvement PLEASE PRODUCE A GOOD CAR, IF YOU CANT DONT PRODUCE IT, i earned the so hardly and bought a rubbish car.

 

THANK YOU

 

Good car only with petrol version , LPG is a worst car in the world i hopeLPG pick up and MIleage is most Worst

Exterior Excellent design, visibility is awesome

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good Leg room for the front Passengers. Plastics used are great.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Great value for money. 1.1L Petrol Engine provides great pick up. But when the AC is on, there is a considerable variation in the Pick up. Gear shift is smooth. Thanks for the woderful design of the Gear box. Gives 13 KMPL with AC in City and 17 to 18 with AC on Highways

Ride Quality & Handling Comfortable drive. Let it be city roads or high ways, Santro is a comfortable family car for a Middle class.

Final Words Have made 35000 Kms in two years. Still Santro seems to be New. Handling in highways are excellent. If you drive at 80 to 100 KMPH then this is THE Car. Do not go beyond 100 KMPH. Fuel Consumption is a bit high. More over driving at 100 KMPH is always safe :-)

Areas of improvement Suspension, Rear Power window and Rear Seats

 

Good Handling, Stable at high speeds, interiorsNo rear power windows, Low Pick up when AC is ON
