I went through a rigirous process of selecting a car for myself. I am a marketing guy who needs a car which is very comfortable and fuel effiecient. Santro, Indica and zen are good but not so handy and comfortable when it comes to high traffic driving with high fuel eff..
There fore my choice went to be Maruti 800 DX. Its the most promising car for marketing people like me who have to move around a lot and don’t want to waste time on maintanaince.
Maruti 800 is easy , simple and soft. but u have to be care ful while driving as it is too light and easyly damagable in accidents. Hence keeping other things apart it runs fast, smoothly and easily. The injected 800 is a completely changed animal.
Its got terrific acceleration for an 800cc car. ...the top speed seemed to go on and on the electronics in the engine keep the A/C compressor on that much longer for better cooling. I got 13.8 kpl in the city and an incredible 21.9 kpl on the highway.
Thousands-20, 687 to be precise- bought a Maruti 800 in March this year..... It is also the highest number any car brand has ever sold in a month in India.
For years, the M800 has remained the right opening car for people who look for low cost of ownership, fuel efficiency, convenience and high resale value. Even with the air-conditioner on, this car can give you 13-14 kilometres per litre of petrol.
Recently, in order to make the car more attractive, Maruti has installed a new engine .... The M800 E 2 AC has been a major success. There is currently a wait list of 1, 500-1, 600 vehicles.
