Alto is one of the most lovable small car to own.This may be also called as a replacement of the old monk-’MARUTI 800’, with 10bhp more than the 800, this car with has a refined engine under its hood (when compared to 800).it delivers sufficient amount of power for city driving & is easy to manouvre over sharp corners & is smooth over the road. It has a comparitively harder suspension than the 800 & hence its a better drive in this car tha in 800.The interiors also gave plastic spread over very nicely & is a bit attractive than the 800.the space is also a bit more.The engine being a pure japanese, picks up speed very well.With a 800cc, 45bhp, 16bit, 12 valves, 3-cylinder engine the car is amazingly quiet & has less vibrations.The interiors with neat finishes, a good look of the exterior, mileage of about 17kpl for city conditions & 22-24kpl on the highway, i bet u can’t get a better economical car than this.This is one of the best product offered by the the maruti people.
I have owned this car for about 2.5yrs & have nat faced any problem so far.
But what I have recognised is that it lacks a bit of power on the highway, coz of its lesser capacity engine .But for city driving this is a perfect car for those who do a lot of kms per day.This car is a very satisfying one & very affordable too.This has given
a new dimension to maruti as a replacement for ’MARUTI 800’.
