2006 Hyundai Santro Club 1.0 EFI from Pakistan

Faults:

Fresh air vent lever on the dash board console was broken

Door handles on driver side broke twice

Font tires suffer perpetual unusual inside wear

General Comments:

Sale and after sale service is very poor

Otherwise driving this car is a pleasure

It is spacious yet has the right size to fit into crowded city traffic of Lahore

Brakes and AC are perhaps the best aspects of the car.

Steering is bit hard, but it is more evident on hard turns and is OK otherwise

Putting the car in reverse gear is tricky and mostly requires more than one attempt to succeed

Spares are costly, but available readily

My leg muscles took some time to adjust to claimed "antisubmarine" seats, but after a while I started enjoying the dominating view that I get while driving

Company has no website to guide the customers about problems specific to models sold in Pakistan

For example car has no camber adjustment mechanism and no camber kits are either provided or recommended by Hyundai for this model

Nevertheless when compared with other cars in this segment it is still the best buy to date.

2006 Hyundai Santro XO from India

Summary:

Not very safe

Faults:

I don't know about other car models safety, but surely this car is not safe. This car is for smooth roads, this car tilts and turns over very fast even on a small pit or small stones. I would not recommend this car for safety reasons to any one who is going to drive and make occasional mistakes of going over stones, pits or small bumps.

General Comments:

Looks is good, Comfort wise also good.

2006 Hyundai Santro xo from India

Summary:

Good car

General Comments:

Santro, really a good car for city driving, comfort levels are good for the money.

----------------------------------------------------

Mileage was good in older version 1000 c. c engine had good enough power for city driving, wish mileage in city should be more in newer versions.

----------------------------------------------------Build quality is not good, body dents very easily, don't feel like built for long lasting. in my opinion Hyundai need to think about solid body.

2006 Hyundai Santro Exec 1.0 EFi 1.0 EFi from Pakistan

Summary:

A spacious comfortable economical and reliable small car

Faults:

Things gone wrong = Nothing.

General Comments:

I had to choose between Suzuki Cultus, Diahatsu Coure, Suzuki Alto VXR and Hyundai Santro --- and after test driving each of them and obtaining user feedbacks choose the Santro -- a decision which I am proud of today.

Price-wise, this car is more expensive than its counterparts, but once you've driven the Santro Exec, you get the satisfying feeling of getting value for the excess money spent. The level of comfort and driving pleasure that you get in a Santro Exec cannot be compared with its counterparts.

The craftsmanship, especially inside the car leaves all the competition way behind.

If you are in Pakistan and considering a small car (Santro, Coure, Alto, Cultus, Vitz) I would suggest that you go for Hyundai Santro (Exec preferably). It comes with an unmatching two years' or 50,000km warranty.

2006 Hyundai Santro XO 1.4 petrol from India

Summary:

A complete family car for a reasonable price..

Faults:

Not much complaints yet

General Comments:

Superb front suspension. but very poor rear suspension.

Less turning radius.. almost similar to M800.

Fuel efficiency pretty good in highways.

Head space & Leg space for rear passenger is poor.

Will look great if you fit an extra rear spoiler..

Accelerator position not good for some passengers..

Dashboard space is not effectively used.

It may take some time for rear passengers to reach AC.

Very hardly lock brakes. so beware of sudden braking...

Also tail lamp lights are so bright so may those who behind this car may become temporary blind...

Rest all perfect.

2006 Hyundai Santro XO from India

Summary:

Worth every buck

Faults:

Had a flat tyre, got it fixed. No other problems so far. 1st service over.

General Comments:

City driving: Excellent handling. Not so good throttle response. Gear shift is excellent. Fuel economy 16km/L without ac.

Long distance: Body roll... tall design..requires getting used to. Accelerator not comfortable for tall driver. Foot aches. Engine reeves too much between gear change. Hill climbing surprisingly good in 3rd gear. Fuel economy 18km/L without ac on flat road.

General: Spacious for 5. Boot space alright. AC not bad. Back suspension pretty jerky.

Wiper speed is excellent for heavy rain. Defogger is very useful. Light levelling device is handy in night driving to avoid pot-holes. Wish it could be adjusted upwards to hit the face of oncoming truck driver who never dips!!

Hey Santro XO is my first car! Umm second... first was an M800. But this is a superb car yaa... only thing I am unhappy about the car is NOTHING!. The sunshine car!! The sun shines too much, the manufacturers should also provide sun filming with the car right at the manufacturing unit.

V nice economical car

Faults:

Nothing.

General Comments:

A very nice car. HYUNDAI have a good quality control in pakistan, and the after sales service is good. The car is worth its price (not considering the general overpricing and over taxing of cars).
