ITS BEEN ABOUT 5 YEARS SINCE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING A SANTRO. BELIEVE ME, ITS ABSOLUTELY A GREAT CAR- IN TERMS OF STYLING, COMFORT, FUEL ECONOMY AS WELL AS ENGINE PERFORMANCE. I WOULD DEFINATELY SUGGEST TO BUY THIS CAR. ONLY ONE NEGATIVE POINT IS THAT, IT HAS A BUMPY RIDE AT THE BACK, UT LOOKING TO THE OTHER POSITIVE ASPECTS, ITS REALLY A GOOD CAR. I HAVE TRAVELLED ON THE HIGHWAYS, BOTH AT HIGH AS WELL AS MODERATE SPEEDS, THIS CAR WOULD DEFINATELY GIVE YOU A SENCE OF CONFIDENCE IN DRIVING, THANKS TO ITS COMMANDING SEATING POSITION AS WELL AS POWER STEERING. THE A.C. IS ALSO FAIRLY POWERFUL(***TIPS-ON THE HIGHWAY USE IT ON THE 1ST SPEED WITH THE COMPRESSOR "ON", YOU WILL SAVE SOME FUEL TOO). MOREOVER I HAVE RECEIVED AN EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SUPPORT FORM THE COMPANY. DRIVE THIS CAR AND U WILL FALL IN LOVE WITH IT!!! EVEN IF WE COMPARE IT TO THE OTHER CARS OF THE SAME SEGMENT, THIS WOULD SCORE MORE(ESPECIALLY WITH A SEATING CAPACITY OF 5 PEOPLE). IN CITY CONDITIONS, SAY, AHMEDABAD,MUMBAI, BANGLORE, DELHI, THIS IS A FUN TO DRIVE CAR WITH LEAST EFFORTS AND A POWERFUL ENGINE, HAVING A LOW END TORGUE. JUST TO INFORM YOU FOLKS-THE SANTRO WHICH HAS A ERLX ENGINE IS MUCH MORE POWERFUL AS WELL AS MORE FUEL EFFICIENT AS COMPARED TO THE OLD SANTRO VERSIONS AND THE MARUTI WAGON R MODELS.
IT GIVES A MILAGE OF ABOUT 16 TO 17 IN CITY WITHOUT A.C. ON.
I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS CAR!

    I have recently bought a santroXL. I ran it around 500 Kms now all on AC. It gave me 10kmpl. Do you think the average will improve with time or it is just going to be this way. As the summers will pass I will see how much it gives me without AC. OTher hitch is that the first gear sometimes get lodged when i try to engage it then it gets engaged with a little effort. Are other users getting this difficulty?

    hi, milage would also depend upon your driving habits. go my way to get excellent milage, simply do this- imagine that there is an egg between your feet and the accel'tor, and then press it gently so as not to break the egg. i promise you will get excellent milage. secondly drive on the 5th gear as much as possible. go between 40-50 speeds. check out the carborator and the tyre pressures. Yes the wobbling on the 1st gear happens with my car too. Let me know on mail-trademark_kedar@yahoo.com.THN

    I hv bought Santro Xing-XL six months back. On all other counts, it is a good car, no doubt; but all along, I hv been getting 8.5 to 9.5 km/ltr. My 1st service, grievance calls, 2nd service, all hv passed without any improvement. I hv 400 km/month running in city and yes, I use A/C car with A/C always. As regards my driving habbits go, my previous vehicle Tata Sumo DLX used to give me 9 km/ltr. I am a senior citizen and with such mileage can't take the car to Pune even.
