Hi Naveen! I have driven Santro AT on a 80kms commute to my office in Mumbai and back to Navi Mumbai and let me share than its a fantastic car at this price point and there is a good peppy engine, a fine auto tranny and manageable size and its a good package.

Its quite peppy and in fact, trust me , in traffic situation/ free road - on highway, I never felt that it is underpowered , in fact it is such a fun car. And please, note that my point of reference is Accent & Verna CRDi in India, Camry and Corolla in UAE that I have driven.

Its a fun car and I am sure i10 will not feel as an underpowered car- man floor the pedal and see the fun. Of course FE I got is 10 kmpl. Is that too bad-
