Sudden breaking locks all four wheels causing the car to skid. Very little leg room & the chair position for the driver gets tiring very soon. The clutch & break pedal are a little too close for comfort & if wearing a wider shoe the break pedal gets pressed easily with the clutch, the left foot has to be in a precise position to avoid this from happening. The steering is very hard, power steering should have been standard.
Very nice suspension, better than all cars in its class. Excellent pickup on C.N.G and the A/C is just as good as of a Honda City or Civic. Engine sounds quite nice & the over all feel of the car is pretty good. The road grip on curves is really good (I'm still trying to make the car skid a little on curves, but it doesn't give). Loaded with nice little features that make a difference like a rear wiper, light in the boot, very nice sounding Panasonic stereo, cup holders, a drawer under the passenger seat for additional stuff etc. The C.N.G kit is especially very well fitted taking up very little of space in the boot.
Well all I wanna say is... I am buying this car today... saw it the other day at the showroom... already satisfied with the drive and all... the only thing that was sad was the price. I remember my friend buying it when this was I guess the cheapest 1000 cc car... Own around 30-40 thousand.. the Own has just raised to 75 thousand... I wonder why the OWN to buy a car... any car for that matter.
Also would like to know HOW safe is the new CNG kit installed in Santro Club GV? if anyone can comment on that and cover the key features/drawback for the new CNG KIT.
Hi to all santro lovers!!! I just wanna say that for EFI system the GNG kit fitted in pakistani market is not up to the mark even the factory fitted GV santro is not up to the mark... emulator + advancer + efi kit is not enough...you need TAPs, + boaster (fro efi or MPEFI) + ECU (economy emisssion system) which is not available in pakistan hence the car back fires and the main cylinder could get damaged after 50-60 thousand KMS
BE care full!!!
