All bark and no bite. Just a car conjured up to compete with WagonR Duo

Bought the Santro ECO a month back after selling my Opel Corsa (a decision I now regret) since I didn’t not want to shell out all that money for petrol in this time of recession. The only reason I bought the Santro ECO, even though the model looks outdated was coz of the LPG kit, which turns out to be an absolute disappointment in the end. It returns 8kms/lts in the city and 10 on the highway, pathetic compared to my friend’s WagonR Duo which gives him 14km/ltr on the highway!! This car, then, is only to prove that Hyudai can make a LPG car, and not a good one at that! The customer care cell is not bothered about the many mails that I’ve sent them, they apparently think that 8km/ltr is much more than I should get for the Santro ECO!

Plain old bad luck, or that am a complete idiot to belive the sales guys at the Hyundai showroom and expect 12km/ltr!!

 

Bottomline, get a cheap Inidca V2 diesel or the WagonR Duo which is proven to return better gas mileage if you are strapped for cash and still need to drive a lot everyday.

 

Still waiting for the call from Hyundai to set things right. Wonder if I can sue them for breach of trust. Let's see if things turn for the better after the first service. Will keep you posted!

Good looks, proven motor, 36 ltr petrol tank. Decent performance.Extremly poor LPG mileage.. average of 8km/ltr of LPG. Horrible customer complaint cell.
