Question My Alto Vs Loaner Santro (A comparo)

Hi Guys,

I seek your views on my experience on driving Santro(s) for a 35 km one way trip.

On friday we had a company outing to a resort 35 kms, mostly crowded (bad) roads. I drove a colleague's santro (5500 km old) to the resort and return another Santro (77km old). Though Santro was amazingly less tiring compared to my alto, but I think it lacked the fun that I can have on my alto. When I reached office and picked my Alto to drive home, it was like I am back to my first love after flirting with some girls

The gear system was very different, far less distance to cover while changing gear, and the seats very stiff, good for my back. I think these were the main factors that helped in driving. Also one major thing I noticed was it did not require me to change gear to 2nd from 3rd very quickly as Alto needs to do. Though about Santro gear system one thing was annoying, while changing from 5th to 4th, it won't just go when I push the lever back, while that works perfect in my alto.

Wondering if there are any other factor that led to less tiring drive. Comments please.
