To tell you honestly no one gives a second look to a maruti 800. but I say that all depends on how you look at it?? actualy the 800 is one of the only cars thats still growing strong and is still quite in demand. and the new versions of 800, that is the ones after 2001 have changes quite a bit, the engin is good.
And for middle class people its the BEST! not to mention maintainance is cheap and in a city like mumbai where space is a privilage or a dream! its the best thing you could think off. I have a 800 myself and have done it up quite a bit. put Alloy Wheels. woofers. and amp. and neon lights.
Have put a spolier on the rear end and have self coloured bumbers to match, and I tell you she is a beauty. it looks sporty and at the same time difference then the other 800. I can proudle say that I have made heads turn.. so if you want to change the look of your car. YOU CAN. and 800 is still the BEST!
cheers., David!
