Santro Handgrip Thumbnail

A person is sure hit by the hard, fire handgrip inside Hyundai Santro car, this happens in various situations. Few frequent situations are while the car turns around, while people move in the car, if the car is crowded or also while a person is getting out of the car. Considering Indian roads, bumpy drives are commonplace; the handgrips are a nuisance while on one such drive.

Santro Handgrip

The hand grip does hit a person trying to get out of the car, sure if the person is tall! Apart from this, situations like the car turning around, people moving in the car, a crowded car or ride on a bumpy road is sure to show the same results. 
The position of the handgrip is not so good either. Using it for long time would only add to the tiredness.
Moreover, considering Indian roads, where movement-jerks are normal, it’s likely that this hand-grip hits the user’s head more often.
The frequency of this disturbance is high for tall people.

The amount of research and design that goes into car manufacturing is tremendous. In the US, Europe and Japan, (where most of the cars are designed) the cost that occurs to the manufacturer to do a recall on a flaw design is extremely expensive. They do tremendous amount fo tests for safety before a design pattern gets into a final product.

Are these usability observations and analyses based on any proven facts?
or fragments of imaginations of the UMO team?

I have a different problem in Santro Car. The spare wheel , the way it is kept in side the boot , it is not possible to check air pressure or fill it up .
as the nozzle is pointing down, It has to be unscrewed , taken out , and then air pressure can be checked .
.
i do not know , why it was designed the way it is degined .
very bad from usability point of view .
Why can not have it the way Maruti 800 has it .
