Maruti 800 is the worlds cheapest car [I read in a mag] I am using this from Dec 97. No major problems till date. The car is worth every penny you invest.
A cheap car to buy and maintain.
You can easily cruise at 80 to 100KMPH on national highways.
Mainly I spent money on service and alignment.
Spares wont cost you very much.
One of the 800 biggest adv is extremenly frugal, and even with the AC on can get 12-14 kmpl in the city. It’s a cheap car to run, and in this day of high fuel prices, it makes a lot of sense. But then the Alto isn’ too far beind either, with maybe a kmpl or 2 less.
Ride quality is a bit bouncy on state highways and could have tuned. The suspension of 800 is dashing. Has solid suspension. Good steering response, easy gearshift.
Its a cheap car to buy, cheap to run, got decent looks, easy city and highway driving.
