………It doesn’t take a scientist to understand what’s going on baby! If you see something in my eyes, lips don’t over analyse don’t go too deep with it baby. So let it be what it be don’t make a fuss and go crazy over you and me. Here’s what I do, I behave like I am having a day just with me……..Its just a little CRUSH ….Its just some little thing not everything I do on you…Squeezing my adrenalin…I am crazy over you.-Jennifer Paige Crush.
Well for starters let me warn you, not much can be done with the Maruti Alto, if you are a slow driver. Yes you shall derive efficiency in terms of mileage and all, but at no point would you feel the excitement associated with it. For fast drivers Alto is a blessing. It responds to your wishes like an obedient slave.
Driving has always been a pleasure for me. Many in Delhi complain how unsafe it is to drive in here. I guess it is true, but uncomplacently retort back that only the brave can survive in here. This pleasure has been enhanced by its mix of slow and fast limits through the Alto.
Give me a car and I’ll show you what can be done with it. Alto though not anywhere near a sports car is capable of providing much pleasure. Driving is all about being in control and Alto just makes you feel that. It can be easily dominated and pushed about on the roads the way you want it. It is a car which is always ready for anything. Whether lane driving or highway patrolling (racing) it wont disappoint. At 10 kmph it shall walk smoothly, without knocking (provided u have the right gear) and at 110-130 kmph it will glide. In both the above cases it really does not matter whether th AC and the music system are running or not. This definitely is a plus point for Alto.
Alto is a small car. It is ideal for small families and young working professionals. It suits girls too. Alto was originally introduced in the market by the Maruti Suzuki group to bridge the gap between the Esteem and the M-800. However it has been so successful that it now threatens the existence of M-800. Sooner M-800’s production would be shelved and replaced by Alto.
Alto though a small car is definitely the one you will fall in love with. It is a car more powerful and sophisticated than the M-800 and a little less luxurious than the Esteem. Its popular features include; five gears, power steering, electronic tachometer, odometer, wiper on the rear, remote controlled fuel opener, lower boot case, efficient AC and more power. Alto is a small and a real Hot car.
This car is hot because it is light on pocket, high on fuel efficiency, low maintenance, high performance and so much pleasure. Driving it can be a real pleasure if the right gear combination is used. Obviously its distinct features set it apart from other cars in its genre but in terms of riding it satisfies us even more. I have been driven a lot many vehicles including Gypsy, M800, Armada, Jeep and Alto. The Alto has been the very satisfying in the driving sense. It is not at all difficult to maneovre this vehicle in the Delhi traffic. It easily fits into small gaps and holes and finds a place for itself almost everywhere. The pick up speed is fabulous as it gently and also rapidly picks up speed and surges ahead of the traffic. However with the wrong gear combination the car knocks desperately.
Alto is a car not scared and bothered about potholes, big or small. It is a slave always obedient and ready to splurge in action. Just like a promise, the Alto never fails in terms of delivering. It is a highly safe car for the Indian roads. High tensile steel side door beams guard against front, rear and side collision impact. It has room for almost everything making it a real family car. But I would suggest small families (3-4 members) to own it. The looks are seductive and muscular. The lights are a beauty.
When first introduced the Alto price tag stood somewhere around 3.45-3.60 lakhs. However recent cuts have led to the price standing at 2.60-2.85 lakhs. This certainly is a competition for M800. All those who plan to buy a brand new 800, kindly follow my advice and settle for an Alto.
Alto thus is a sexy machine, available in various colors, when it comes to pushing the limits, Alto definitely has an edge. Though not a toy there is enough room in there to play with it.
