MY LUV ALTO

The Legendary Alto is a damn good car. My father first bought an Alto lxi model of maroon colour and it literally ran till 2½ lakh kms nearly but the car met with an accident. After that my father again bought an alto 800 petrol manual which is still there it's been 4½ years nearly to the car and it ran 1 lakh kms+ and still counting. The car I think its value for money and its awesome.. Nearly 8-10 yrs I spent my life with THE Legendary Alto. ??I luv my present Alto lyk hell. Now m 18 yrs old and I learnt driving from Alto only. So its very much close to my heart... ????

Very nice car

1. Buying experience very good 2. Driving experience good 3. Details about looks performance etc good 4. Service and maintenance good and 5. Pros and cons ok good car

As it takes the fight with the newer entry-level Renault Kwid, our road test details all the specifications of the Alto K10 along with its real-world on-road performance.

Change of guard

By Vikrant Singh13 Oct 2012

The old Alto is out and it is being replaced by a slightly modern looking, but more spacious and fuel efficient version. So how much better is it?
