I have bought a sunlight copper Alto K10 few days ago. After taken 3 different cars on test drive and read lot of reviews on different sites. I had decided to go for the new new technology and powerful Alto K10.
Though I had not got no discount or any free bee. And its price logically only 28000/- below the A-Star(as it has lot of discount etc).
I have also driven the i10 and Nano both of these cars have same type of brake feeling with huge jerk and sudden stop without absorbing the jerk. But in K10 it is just superb you can not feel any jerk or sudden stop instead a very useful breaking system with secure stop.
Main things I have consider before gone for bought my 2nd car after sold out my Maruti 800 DX, was:
Technology of K10 is new and fresh
much more powerful than its predecessor
looks stunning, lengthier and new face
power steering is really work superb and like a video game handler
gear change is superb but a few time it is being notchy especially in reverse gear. May be after few service it will gone
more leg space virtually
ac is amezing without any bad effect on power, as it is in its predecessor
big wheel
high pickup
feel good factors
What I found not warm:
little bit over priced
as it is long so it gives little bit more pain in tight parking
afraid spares will be costly. as design also different for head light, tail light etc
It is now delivering about 10-12kmpl at city with 25% ac on.
It costs with almost no additional fitting about 3, 80, 000/- on road(Hyderabad).
More thing I can tell only after driving at least 5000kms.
Lastly I can say it is really a good car for small family and long driver. go for it.
Thanks.
Done 13500 Kms and 2 years. Now I am getting rattle sound from body and pickup get decreased a little bit. Mileage is about 14 kmpl avg in all conditions. May be sound and pickup problem can be solved after done the service.
Due to Petrol it is almost impossible to go long drive with this car. For daily commute and upto 100 kms travel is good with this car but not more than that.
But still overall it is best petrol hatchback at this price with all those features.
