fuel used from day-1: speed 97.

wow! I dont think it needs this seriously.
I used to get 15 plus most of the time.

however, the front chin sometimes scrapes on the road when the car is driven over high-set speedbreakers, otherwise, no problem with the ground clearence. i wish hyundai improves the rear suspension or better ride comfort.

Try another car on the same road/speed. If the front chin of Santro hits then its seriously high hump.


Steering feel:
Change it to smaller one if you want fun.

highway stability:

tyres: stock goodyear GPS-2 tube type.

Upgrade to Potenza G111 and see. You will come back and hail about its performance.


build quality:

even after 15 months and 25,000 km and abused over bad roads, the taut body structure feels rigid with no complaints of squeaks and rattles. will keep on updating over a period of ime as i clock more kms.

Ah! one of the best.



ownership experience:

overall, 4/5, a very satisied owner of santro xing XO eRLX.
Nice review. See that you put caps and period when needed when you write next time. Will look more neat
