A smooth and comfortable car, and is a real pleasure to drive the car. The car is really selling well in entry segment. As a owner of Santro, I feel like sharing my experience with others.xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
The car is really smooth in running and very good for city driving. The car has excellent pick up and a real good cooling power. The car gives average of about 15 in city driving conditions. The car is roomy in the front but not so good at the back, but best thing being the sitting posture while driving the car.
However, indigenization and probably cost cutting has taken a toll on the quality of the parts. I had a terrible experience where alternator in my car suddenly went bad and started overcharging. Unbelievable, it may sound; this led to sudden fusing of both headlight bulbs and the battery exploded. The main card had gone bad; total damage Rs 27,000/- and that too after second year of the car purchase and after having logged in just 24000 km.
Car is definitely better than Zen, Indica but have not compared with wagon R.
