It's not a high speed vehicle but on a tight twisty road, you can have some real good fun.

I voted for the Santro, which must be similar to Wagon R. The greatest fun you can have in the Santro is while making tight overtakes on relatively narrow roads with a reasonable amount of traffic -- if these roads are twisty, then even better. Just this Sunday I frustrated the hell out of a Swift guy on the Pune bypass road. Initially ducked past him while he hesitated behind another vehicle. Then he gave *very hard* chase (100-120 kmph), but each time he caught up, I slipped past another vehicle ahead, leaving him stranded. Top speed and pick up don't count as much as maneuverability in these conditions, and the Santro/Wagon-R would be hard to beat in this respect.
