I bought my ALto Lxi in 2003. Believe me it is worth the Cost that I paid for this Vehicle. I gives 17-18Kmpl on highways and gives 13-14 on City. Even after covering 15000 Kms it is relatively noise free. When I think about it I believe thats the best decision I made... a cost effective decision. I had freezed up on Santro, Zen & Alto... Iwas also waiting for COrsa Sail..
But this Vehicle runs excellently no noise...excellent Ac...only the pick up drops down on use of AC but thats Ok with me. One more thing it lacs is rear seat leg room. It is cramped a bit.
Now for the Pros...excellent driving, excellent control, low on noise, Good looks, Good interiors You have space in front for your drinks or a coffee. Ample Dashboard space. Five gear MPFI engine. ..All this with good mileage makes this Car good value for money. Go for it.
Maruti 800 is also low priced.. But add that extra amount for various advantages of this Car.
