Perfect family car. I owned/drove cars like Maruti 800, Zen, corolla, Grand AM, Ford Explorer etc in India and abroad. This I am not saying to boast about myself , but as a person who can give accurate comments /ratings on a car and for those who read reviews before making selection.
After coming back to India in 2003 , I bought a Santro LP , though many said korean cars are bad and Japanese are good.
Today I will say confidently that it is the Product that matters, not Indian, japanese or Korean.
Till today I have been driving Santro and it is a world class car. the + pts :
1.Good pick up (better than Zen/Swift)
2.better ground clearance.
- Lesser turning radius
4.strong body
5.AC dosent sap the performance like the maruti cars ZEN/SWIFT
6.good fuel efficiancy (13-14 with AC)
7.Night driving is safer as u sit higher and the coming vehicles head lights dont fall on ur eyes.
8.good boot space
9.Worth all the money. we pay more for much lesser value simply because something is Japanese or for more number of service centers
