Maruti 800 Car

there are many railway railway cars on the mart that are exciting with respect to power(Accord), interior design(Octavia, Benz), oer any execution( again Accord) &038 the vitality in the segment they play in (New City) picpicpicpic precisely no other car is as shut to what ALTO is in the entree train segment. Santro &038 Indica do have a strong hold on the upper direct where contralto plays ( low-pitched 1. 1) exclusively with respect to the range that Alto has from mid 2 to low 4 lac it is the besides choice. August 05 Alto is being launched with burst styling (clear head-tail lamps), changed nose and a few more vibrant color in to pee-pee matters interesting.The seat fabric have received an upgrade. Although Swift continues to take limelight, jeopardize Alto is serving Maruti and entry level buyers just fine. I wish hale they again launch it with the 1. 1 liter engine. Given that Alto has womb-to-tomb wheelbase and (more) modern chassis than Zen it would kill Zens g ross revenue if launched with 1. 1 liter engine. June 04 For the first epoch ever a present (Alto) placescored 800 on the sales chart. This is due to Maruti positioning Alto as entry level car &038 in order to phase out 800 &038 in any case they slashed entry level price by 25,000 (without AC) at 2,34,000. late I had a test ride of a used Alto 1. without power steering. The car was in a unsloped condition. I authentically wishd the power of 1. 1 engine. With 4 passengers it was pulling very well. The transmitting was typical Maruti/Suzuki, a little rough but spot-on. As I am used to Palios butter smooth gears I set up the gears in Alto a little crude but unblemished &038 easy to locate specially from 2nd to 3rd, it is easy to find it. Although I have heard a few complaints from some owners about abrasion noises from transmission. So better watch-out for that. The AC was good enough but left-hand(a) me for wanting as it was VERY baking hot. Also with AC on the speedup s uffered a bit.Cant blame as I had 4 full grown adults with me Overall I was very satisfied but when finally we sat for negotiations the Doctor was asking a little in like manner lots than I thought a used Alto should cost. This guide to me test drive of the new Alto (800), at 2,60 it was very close to the used 1. 1 The test drive without AC was very good but with AC full blown the acceleration did suffer signifi mickletly. So I tried shutting off AC when I was amphetamine &038 then started it when cruising, it worked just fine. I thought I can come with this power by effectively shutting off AC when I needed to Pass &038 on inclines (valleys etc).The interior was a bit absent compared to Palio &038 also Santro but at this price flush it did meet my expectations. It is only a matter of getting used to. I didnt like the shifter coming out of teh floor as opposed to much better treatment in Palio/Santro. Here in Alto it see to come out of the floor But not a point that would a ffect my decision. The interior room is satisfactory if not significant. 4 Adults can fit in for trips of say 3/4 hrs with some halts. The seating room themselves are good &038 I found a very cheery seating position except some room for my legs as I am 6 1 with the legs of same length as of my 6 3 friend ) The elicit economy I was told as phenomenal with at least 14 in city &038 17-18 on the postgraduateways That was ofttimes better than 10/14 of my Palio. As this car is for my father I thought he would get a little better than what I can extract Driving style you know I was a bit concerned about the tire size &038 thought for a longer trips bigger tires would be preferable but it would affect the force out economy I guess. You cant have all The styling is fusty but tasteful for the common man who hark backs that car is an extension of their personality. The trend seekers should shop elsewhere.Both front &038 rear styling is interesting enough but at the same time toned do wn to take out the last drop of boldness.. The car looks much better with body dark-skinned bumpers than the ugly b leave out ones They look like an accessory externally given than the integral part of the car Only black car looks ok with those bumpers. Anyways, who buys a black color car in a counry of hot summer (There are quite a few mind you ) I am almost set on Alto 800. I compared it with all the competition &038 it bits the competition when you factor in the price &038 daily tag costs (fuel/maintenance) &038 have decided to go for Alto 800 Lxi.I think it is worth to pay for the extra features for some price. At the same time I didnt think it was a good idea to slip by more than 4 lac for 1. 1 as I thought the level of interior materials &038 overall comfort would be more justified in Santro/Indica/Palio for a little more cash. Fuel economy is again where Alto 1. 1 would do better than most though. The color availability is again ok for this price range. I would love to see more colors coming out soon to keep interest in the product. I would recommend Alto to anyone planning to buy a entry level car.It is a must to have a loot at this car before buying any other car you like. This is the perfect as far as the segment it plays in goes.
