2000 Hyundai Santro LX review from India
"Santro is a complete car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had only one major problem, AC stopped working very third day I bought the car. I took it to dealer they fixed it for me, since then last 4 years I had no issues with the Car.
General comments?
Engine is so dam smooth some times I have doubts at the traffic light if the engine is running.
It has excellent pickup & Gear ratio. I don't have to make frequent gear changes as it has lot of bandwidth in each gear.
Interior plastic material used is of good quality, it does not give cheap feel.
I have driven it 500Km at a stretch nonstop, and would stop only for refuels. Car never showed any signs of over heating.
I have never driven a car like this in this segment. It's a true value for Money. All I had spent on this car is for Scheduled maintenance. I had never any problems except for the 3rd day when I bought it new.
Santro is a complete car for what you are paying.
