How would you define the San Storm?

[ram_hyundai]

How much does they sell each month?I dont think it would be successful unless it has a better engine and lesser price.No one in kerela owns one -IMO.

I remember seeing the scoop pics years back and going woow! But that was short lived once reality bit me. It was a small engine and support of San motors was pretty much non existent.

To me its just a convertible.

Throw in a good engine (anything that puts out 120-145bhp) and improve the looks a tad bit.

With a 120-145bhp engine the doors and panels will flyoff on speed

well i had a chance to check one out 4 months back, was on palm beach road, and a brand new one was headed for delivery, the driver was kind enough to stop when I flagged him down [first San storm I've ever seen]. My driver was going all crazy as he checked out the body of the car, then I told him about the engine and even he laughed...HOWEVER the build isn't that bad anymore, pannels are flush, the car looks good, the ragtop is manual, and a pain in the butt.
Wish they sold just the body and chassis sans electrics, engine and, well everyrhing else...The chassis is capable, and she needs a nice motor, perhaps a V6. the car has loads of potential, but as said before it need a V6 with reliable eletricals, and an automatic top...

It runs on Renault D7F 1.2L SOHC, which generates 58BHP@5250rpm ! They claim its does 0~100 in under 15s !!

this is the problem. A toaster on wheels costing as much. OK maybe i am being very harsh, but a purported sports car @ 58 bhp and nearly 15 secs

I have driven one in Goa. It looked good at the time (can't quite remember the details now), but is no fun to drive, except for being a convertible. Limited reach, outdated tech, and iffy A.S.S don't help either. A car best forgotten.

How do you define the San Storm?

- San Storm Sans Storm.

[mavrick]

sports car = are u kidding.

convertible = yes.

roof less 800 is better anyday.

[shatrughna]

It a plain simple automobile that has an open top. It has nothing much to offer expect for an option to feel the air in your hair , if you choose to. Power is adequate for our road conditions.

[sammyboy]

well, when a locomotive company makes a car ...what do u expect?

[Hemanth]

San Storm: A car which is almost non existent and the presence not felt anywhere in any part of india.

Yeah,with the current build quality,you are right. BUT,if it has to improve,and it gets a really peppy engine,then we'r talking serious business for a convertible.

hmmm, let me think...

yeah! how about "low commotion"

[gendarmee]

I saw one at the auto show.
I should confess, the finishing looked crap.
Dont know about it's performance, but for the price i think a Crdi swift or a ikon flair can be a better buy, unless one is wanting a convertible for a short period of time(i don't think its a medium/long term car)
