Brakes very poor . life of the car very less. after 65000 kms feels like no energy in the car. My wife bought this car in 2001 - had accident twice because of poor quality of brakes. Once the accident was very severe and had to spend Rs 30000 on repairs because of the accident - the front bonnet broke the condenser and ac compressor broke.
Another accident was with a Call center cab and 30 people gathered at the accident scene which happened due to poor quality of brakes.
Maruti does not invest in the booster brakes in 800 because it has launched an alto model because no one would buy alto if 800 did not have good quality brakes. It does not cost much to invest in good braking system in a car but a company is playing with people’s money by not giving good quality brakes in this car so that the consumer is forced to buy a higher model car like alto.
