The Santro Xing with its new flame surfaces has an instant visual appeal, though your can see that a 'next generation' is definitely due. Interiors are simple but neat. What's great about this little car is that someone almost 6 feet is usually quite comfy in the drivers seat.
Where the Santro scores high is pickup. It gives acceptable stability as your rev your way to sixty cutting through traffic. This little car has a mighty heart that leaves other 'poorly driven' big machines wonder what hit them.
Maneuverability of the Santro is definitely a plus though at higher speeds I've often noticed a skid. Confidence in sharp turning, though not as good as a Honda, is definitely not as bad as the Indica or even Indigo. It skids but you can always use wider tires to help. The power steering is heavier than you expect most to be but something you can get used to. Though I've heard Santro gearboxes are smooth, my experience is to the contrary and a few other owners concur. Also the gearshift vibrates more than it should for a petrol car.
Overall a good buy any day, a car that has enough power for the city and great mileage for the wallet. Add its low maintenance costs and it's an irresistible proposition.
