A/c is powerful but too noisy. rear seat headrests are a real boon.

Santro is more similar to the other hatches in comparison. Rear seat is more in width than in wagonR ( didnt know this until my uncle actually measured) and believe me when I say you will love the gearbox when comapred to that long stick in WagonR which sucks. design wise too this one looks more conventional though not even a bit more beautiful. ABS is an option.


I would rank them in this order.

1. Palio 1.2 nv ( preferably sports version)
2. wagonR
3. Santro
Nice review.. Guess that finals it.. But then again the wagon R is more expensive than the santro.. you can buy the santro XL (power steering, front power windows, A/C) for 3.79 on road in bangalore.. cant say the same about the wagon R.. Yes the tachometer still comes on the wagon R but only on the VXI version.

So i bought the santro

Take care.
