WagonR (automatic) or Santro (automatic)

[Blue Thunder]

I looked thru' the threads , but am not able to locate one for automatic transmission cars. I would like to know which car to decide between the Wagon R (automatic) and Santro (automatic). Has anybody tried the automatic transmission cars available in the market today? I know the Zen and Esteem automatic version were not so popular when they were launched, but have no idea about the current situation.

Maruti brought dis-repute to auto-transmission by introducing 3-speed auto boxes. That's why it never flew in the 90s. Even now WagonR Auto is 3 speed, not even worth considering.

If it is Auto, Santro is the way to go in <8L segment. I have owned Santro Xing AT since 4 years, so I am not just saying it.

i would agree with samurai that the three speed auto box in the wagon r is quiet crappy.. Xing AT would be the ideal choice..
and i really dont understand why other cars which are available abroad with a AT option like the swift are not available.. the only next choice would be the city cvt with a excellent auto box but price is above 8L
hope this helps you.. n enjoy the automatic transmission in the traffic, its a real advantage

i would agree as i have driven both the wagon r auto and xing auto and finally settled for the xing auto for my cousin. so i would suggest the xing auto for you. if you are looking at a bigger segment then the toyota corolla automatic i personally can vouch for it as i have two of them at home. hope this comes in handy to choose your car.

dont even think of the wagon r auto.
if AT is a must for you and these are the only two contenders go for the santro xing auto.
