I purchased maruti 800-(multiple point fuel injection) in 2002. I purchased because it gives an average mileage of 16 kms/litre of petrol.I find easy to drive in a city like bangalore and parking is easy because of its short length and easy turning capability.
I find it is maintenence free.But, I periodically follow preventive maintenance schedule. I find driving comfortable both in highways and city roads.It is a low budget car and just sufficient for city drives.
The disadvantages I experienced:
The gears are little harder to change compared to other modern cars.
The height is low;sometimes the road humps touch the chassis, when fully loaded.
Legspace is less in the back seat.
4.Luggage carrier is too small. Big suit cases will not fit.
I recommend this car for a family of 4, who are medium built.
In conclusion, Overall performance of the car is very good.
