Why I bought Santro....
Well back in 2005 I was confused and i had same problem like you, that my garage does not have space for compact sedan so i have to go for hatch back... back then I had not many options they were basically 2... santro or Cultus... I analyzed and met with the owners of both and carefully observed working of both cars ... i say i come to conclusion quite easily .. in my mind i had no such thing as resale value. i wanted a modern machine with driving pleasure... it was straight forward santro.
when i got my brand new santro... i must say that after using it , i felt i got more than what i expected from that machine... i must say it has been an amazing experience.. today my machine is on 80,000 km and runs like new and i say i am proud of my purchase. i am very confident of its technology.. i know exactly whats going on under the hood.. and each day i drive it i remain happy that my choice has been good.
