Driving classes - Session # 7.

After a week's break, here I was about to drive a Santro. Firstly I had lost all my interest, which I had to drive in a week's time (after the break). Secondly, I preferred a diesel vehicle not a petrol vehicle. So was somewhat tentative to start with.

I observed a whole lot of difference between a Santro and an Indica. Finally after driving Santro for one day, you would expect me to say, I fell love with it ??, not really, I proudly say, I prefer a diesel. I am the one who hates the zippy factor.

Santro was quite quick and responsive, it was generating high torque at a very low rpm, which according to me was quite non-essential. It had loads of horse power, lot more than Indica.

But with Indica, the vehicle was quite slow in reaching the same speed, less on horse power, but was more of a beauty to drive.

And believe it or not, the engine stalled 2 times on the first day I drove it. I was quite unhappy with this whole incident.

So at the end of class #7, I can manage driving in morning traffic, but in peak traffic,i am still unsure.
