Santro has been the best small car right from its launch. Many small cars came and went but none of them beat it. Except now when Hyundai's own i10 has beat it. If you can afford to buy the i10 then do so its the best small car right now (it is probably the only car in India to have won all the Car of the Year award from all auto magazines). But if you can't then the Santro still makes for a fine buy.

as my Relative got one in 3.8 below with all the accesories (dvd, lcd..)

CATCH THE i10 BEFORE THE REST CATCH IT

Iam using Santro XO from more than an year and it didnot give any problems till date.
It is well tested and refined car so i still prefer Santro than i10.If you are from b'lore,then buy it from Advaith Hyundai.Their service is really good.

[PCWORM]

then wat is this ??


no offence but i and others still prefer i10 at this budget

arrey yarr sorry,,, i ws a bit confused while writing the price...
the ex showroom price is 2.82 lacs,,, sorry 1ce again...
i10 wud hav been my best option if cud shell out 3.8...

 

[azzu]

then its gotta be the Hyundai
Spark and Alto can also be in consideration but no match to the Features of the santro xk's features..
so dont hesitate go for the Santro and also a +10 k will do for the addons like
Dvd player central electronic locking ...
Btw: hyudai has also the best service after Maruti ..(not sure)
in ur budget now its santro xk's the Best

 

[PCWORM]

Santro Confirmed!!!!!!
thank u guys!

 

[azzu]

^ congrats but as i said addons of 10k r must .
now enjoy with ur new 4wheeler

 

[PCWORM]

Yea...addons are a must, U hav ne info on dvd players?...
ill upgrade to an A.C addon afterwards

 

[azzu]

now i understand so there r two Xk's one AC and non-Ac model right.
dunno much about the Addons but as i know from my relatives car pioneer DVD player with usb support and a Lcd (dunno how many inches) costed him about 9-10k and the central electronic locking may cost 2-3k
Correct me if iam wrong
Btw: go for branded Electronic Players and non-braded or branded Locking system may not hav much difference but its ur car's safety so u must be keen...Here

 

[krazzy]

AFAIK all Santro models have AC standard.

 

[PCWORM]

As ajju said bfore, the XK model is also available without ac....check the hyundai site.

Santro Xing is very good and refined car. you can buy it aakhen band karke if your buget is limited.
If u said 4lac I would say Getz 1.1, and 5lac - Swift Diesel (mind you Swift Petrol isnt that good people but it bcoz its cheaper.. the real car is D), Since you are limited in 3Lac .. I would say buy Santro .. but go for Power Steering its a must I would say .. and I love the santro's Power Steering bcoz its not too soft like crappy wongonr .. at same time not hard.
I dont like i10 peronally - has a bad dashboard .. but If you like the look can buy it,
Both are similar cars .. i10 has a little tweaked Erlx 1.1 engine,

And dude .. there is no service issues .. in Hyundai,
and spare parts are way cheaper than UVA, Spark, Swift.

I am driving Santro Xing 1.1 for more than 4 years!

Its is no tension car - for city driving. Dont expect it to race Honda CRV on highways.
Drive in city at good speeds .. no problem.

Put on a CNG .. if its available in ur city, (go for only govt approved kit)
works out gr8 if you can .. just increase the pickup done.

btw in which city u are from?

and as I already told you .. no issues with service and spares.

I think Hyundai in 2008 is what Maruti was 10 years back.

Happy Buying ..

Since you are limited in 3Lac .. I would say buy Santro .. but go for Power Steering its a must I would say ..

how can he get a Power steering santro in 3 lac ???

I dont like i10 peronally - has a bad dashboard

you know it has the best Interior in its class and yea some features in dash board r removed from santro becoz there were no much important compared to others

Both are similar cars .. i10 has a little tweaked Erlx 1.1 engine,

i know its tweaked Engine but Both r similar cars ??
hav u ever seen its design difference and Length etc.. ?

btw in which city u are from?

he told that he lives in Pune


NO OFFENCE
