First Hatch to offer intermittent wiper speeds - The Hyundai Santro (?)

Trust_In_Thrust · 30th June 2010, 15:04

@DRIv3R : it was available in m800 also .(it had three speeds low , mid , high)

hiren.mistry · 30th June 2010, 15:34

Wagon R has a lot of firsts, one more is the factory fitted LPG kit, IIRC.

Tata NANO first car to get price tag of 1,00,000/-

Newpunter · 30th June 2010, 15:54

Isn't Fiat Punto the first hatchback to get the Follow me headlamps?

vikrantj · 30th June 2010, 15:56

Ok .. So now I am throughly confused. How does that initial table look now ?

This is not a complete statement. AFAIK this feature was available only from 800, 5 speed MPFi. I maybe wrong though. The earlier 800's had only 2 speeds for the wiper.

I feel that the first hatchback which came with a single wiper was Fiat Uno.

Correct me if i'm wrong.

No no! The intermittent speed wiper was available on a M800 that we owned in 96.

Can any one owning an i20 point out the practical use of the cooled glove box?

I don't own a i20. Even then, i had seen my friends using the cooled glove box(Opel Astra) to keep the softdrinks like Pepsi chilled. May be that's the use of it..

I think the i10 Asta (o) was the first to offer sunroof, before i20 was even launched.

Klub Class · 30th June 2010, 16:16

Meanwhile, i feel that Fiat Palio was the first car that came with coin holder! Do feel to correct me if i'm wrong.

Anti knock engine and double crank prevention system were a first on the Palio right?

NutsNBolts · 30th June 2010, 16:21

Anti knock engine and double crank prevention was available since Uno.
