It was very difficult to choose between Santro and WagonR, but I found WagonR more value for money hatchback.I booked the WagonR (LXi petrol) about 1 week ago of Dusshera and got the car in Dusshera.
I liked the new wagonR looks. It is like mini SUV, with roofrails it looks superub. When ever u enter into car it give u a feel of lot of space than Santro. It is having more boot space then Santro also rear seat is cmpletely foldable.
After a lot of study I saw that technology used in WagonR is more advanced than Santro e.g
(1) WagonR engine is more compact and small but produces the same power as Santro
(2) Wagon R engine is having 4 cylinder 16 valves, which is 12 in Santro. More valves are always good for engines life since exsaust is good.
(3) Wagon R have Electronic Power Steering but Santro have old hydrolic PS.
(4) Wagon R is equipped with 32 bit on board microprocessor, since 32 bit processor are having more speed than 16 bit therefore it’s MPFI section is very efficient. Also many parts of the vehicle is microprocessor controlled.
Other than that I found more boot and leg space in WagonR than Snatro.
I found it’s drive extremely smooth. Pickup is too good without A/C, and cooling is fine infact people sitting in rear seat also sometimes feel shivering.
One problem I found that, when A/C is on with blower at max position, the power of the car goes down drastically.
So better option is to run the A/C in max position for few minutes then put the blower position to 2nd or 3rd position.
I have now completed one year with my mini SUV and done all services in time and found after every service the running is more smooth. Sai Service, Phugewadi, Pune had povided me excellent service.
I hope that I cleared the doubt of many friends who r thinking between WagonR and Santro.
Of course if u want to go for look Santro is more good looking car, but if u go technologically WagonR is far ahead of Santro.
Think and Decide…
