The service network is good and service cost is also very less .The car is best suited for all ages.It is a good car for the middle income group. It gives an average mileage of 13km/lt.Maintence cost is very low.Since Santro has superb power steering system you will find easy to take turns. The sedan has good suspension system at the bottom platform.So you will not feel any jerks while traveling on a road infested with pot holes or bumps. The car’s tubeless tyres add comfort to riding.

The car possess superb a/c and decent interiors.During rainy season the car’s time adjustable rear wipers make you feel at ease, even while raining.The car is provided with tachometer , an unique feature to know the engine’s rpm.The gear systems are good ,with it a very short gear ratio to achieve a zippy drive.

The car is easy to park in crowded areas.Each vehicle has it’s own pros and cons . The disadvantage of this car is it has very small rear boot space.The mileage is not satisfactory when compared to other cars.But the pros outsmart the cons in this car.
It has a good look,comfortable spacious interiors, comes in attractive colours, value for the money spent especially for the middle income group.

In short Santro is a reliable car at a reasonable price.At 3.5 lacs it is well priced. Moreover it has good resale value.So whoever buys this car will never get disappointed.It’s a darling car suited for all ages.

The car is very simple to drive with easily accessible controls.The road vision provided is superb and offers a more self-confidence inspiring journey. The visibility at the rear is a bit hindered by thick C pillars (one could not know why its so expansive and the designers could have made it more slimmer)

Figgo has a very smooth and light Clutch (it is far more better when compared to the rough omni and 800). Its really complicated to stop the car as ,one may feel the ECU kicks in if you play haywire on the pedals. The non ECU cars on this frontage are very non lenient and everything you do will turn up on the drive.

Suspension system is supple or the long wheelbase or both are playing mayhem here as you may have scrapped a number of speed breakers even when traveling with only your wife and no luggage. While traveling with 5 people it’s a different story as a few breakers will touch even when going over them almost dead slow.

A few negatives on this car:

The LHD car plan has accurately been made to RHD for India without considering for the Bonnet levers and indicators. It’s a real sting to drive during night time when one has to make frequent pass signals(awful). The quick lane change feature have an effect on the pass signal function and unless otherwise you are very steady, you will perplex the oncoming driver by concurrently flashing high beam and also the Left/Right turn signals.

In general in a nutshell,one will get very satisfied with the car if he is planning for long pleasure trips.

The car can be excellently handled at sharp bends. Excellent shifting of gears. Cable shift gives a good smooth gear shift. ABS is comes in handy when applying the breaks on damp highways and on graveled roads. Fiesta tdci engine is very receptive. You won’t experience the lagging of turbo because the turbo kicks in at 1200 RPM. This gives you a good surpassing ability on highways and fewer gearshifts on city traffic.

In City limits with 100% A/C the car gives you a minimum 14+ KMPL and on highways you can get minimum of 18 KMPL (with A/c fully on and at average speed 90+ KMPH).

The Pros of Fiesta tdci are ample space, good performance, pleasing looks and interiors.

Its only Con, is it’s not so satisfactory mileage.

It would be a road king provided with alloy wheels.Palio is nominally priced at around 5.20 lacs onroad.It has good ground clearance and has better pick up when compared to swift.

The only accessory need to be added is a rear spoiler.Using of 17 inch alloy wheels looks great .Its a great value for money ,giving average mileage between 24–26 km /litre
Fiat palio is fitted with 1.3 multijet CRDI engine.It sports a new exterior which grew in size with 20 mm in length and 6 mm in width. Palio now dons a superb front charismatic look with new headlights,bonnet and smiley grille.

The interiors are done with lighter fabrics,roof lights and vanity mirrors.The rear of the car is more rounded with new rear lamps.

Palio comes in the market in five versions, including two body styles, three engines and two equipment levels: ELX 1.0 two- andfour-door; ELX 1.4 four-door, 1.8Rstar Euro NCAP crash safety ranking, placing Palio at the pinnacle of its category for security, with a total score of 33 points. This is an important accolade, a honour confirmation of the Italian auto giant’s dedication to all aspects of driver and passenger safety.

The main major disadvantage is it’s maintanence, a thorn in the flesh indeed.If anything goes wrong with the car , no one knows a hint about what to do next . Palio’s spares are not easily available and if we somewhat get the spares ,it is quite expensive. The main service garages are not upto the caliber.

Palio is a quite expensive , not the cup of tea for the middle income group.

As it is a small car, apparently the room inside is little but bigger than Alto and
won’t anticipate more size in this low budget.The boot space is reasonably spacious.
AC is fine,excellent Pickup. Engine is so smooth such that occasionally you won’t feel that the car is moving.

It is best recommended to switch on AC atleast after 10 mins of starting the engine and don’t start AC when the car is in neutral.AC should be switched on only when the car is running. The Car cools quicker if you follow the above instructions.

Space:As might be the case with little cars, the space at the rear seat (for 3 people) is slightly uncomfortable. The car is meant to be a comfortable ride for 3 people and a luxurious ride for 2. Speaking about the front seats, they are little closer when compared with other cars. Each time if you change gears, it constantly rubbing the thighs of the individual sitting next to you. Unless otherwise if the person sitting next to you is your wife or GF, you can enjoy, otherwise it is going to be a bitter nightmarish experience.
Mileage: Chevrolet Spark has specialized engine and gives a mileage of 12.5 kms in city limits while it gives 16.7 kms on highways.
Looks: Chevy Spark has superb exterior .The car’s small shape is very convenient to drive through congested roads
A/c: With 2 people, the A/C has been very efficient… But, it’ takes some time for the cooling part to reach the back part.You can experience when there are three persons sitting in the rear seat.
Extra furnishings :Pioneer system enabled with USB, 2 Pioneer speakers at the front and 2 JBL speakers at the back. Lunar Sun film.

Each vehicle has it’s own pros and con. The disadvantage of this vehicle is , there is no power steering and rear power window.This car lots of advantages when compared to its minor disadvantages. Accerlation is good . It has1.1L 62bhp powerful engine. Driving comfort is superb in this car.
