Good Car for the price

 

Exterior The car has good looks and also hard shell. Headlamps and indicators are good.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Resonably good space, the dash board is good, Good power windows, Power stearing has good responce. bottle/cup holders are bad and non standard size.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The mileage of the car is consistent. It has 14KM city(normal traffic) and 17-18KM long drive, Second gear shift is hard and is difficult in city driving conditions. The clutch becomes hard after 35000KM and had to change the clutch after 40000KM. I was told that most Santros have same problem.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Good driving comfort in long drives. Back seat is not good, so the car is recommended for a very small family :).

 

Final Words Good first time car, change car after 5 to 6 years.

 

Areas of improvement The design of Shock absorbers should be looked at especially as it is real challenge for indian road conditions. Should improve the comfort for Back seat passengers.

 

Driving comfort, Mileage ok,Back seat bumpy, Clutch complaint after 40000KM,
