Maruti Suzuki Alto 800 [2012-2016] User Reviews

Exterior Awesome looks, front shape is extraordinary.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) AC is good. Meter console is average. Finally. What is the truth is. one has to adjust to the available features  as it is a small family car and not costing much

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Moderate pick-up, good fuel economy  18 KM / L in city & 20 KM/ L in highway driving & smooth shift of gears.

Ride Quality & Handling Good to manage in city trafic. ofcourse. essy to park in busy streets. Excellent looks from all angles, very good in mileage, smooth gear shift

Final Words Good choice for low budget small family car from Maruti, It is worth to go for Alto 800. Alto is quite expensive when compared with performance of Alto 800. Finally its a value for money as it carries Maruti Brand image.

Areas of improvement Dash board design can be made good, and leg room space can be improved.

Exterior

Looks can be appealing but think twice before going for it.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Features - Ok with it.

 Space - Strictly for 5.5 and not more than that height or you might feel uncomfortable.

 Comfort - This is where maruti should look into. Comfortwise it is very bad. If you are travelling more than 50 kms in it, your spine + body will have pain. Seat erogonimcs needs to be worked on. Come on maruthi wake up....

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Performance is adequate when a/c is switch off. Once full 5 persons on board the gearbox needs to be work on and you will feel engine loses it breath once past 80. Body roll is very much evident in taking twist and turns at all speeds.

 Fuel Economy - A decent 10 - 15 with a/c on with two members on board.

 Gearbox works the job alloted to it.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Ride Quality - Ok with Apollo tyres but loses grip once past 80 Kmph. 

 Handling - As the speeds gains you might feel nervous at high speeds. The steering will change to any direction once you take your hand out of it.

Final Words

 It the grand nanny for Maruthi and most of the Indians in their family. Best is suited for city driving and occassional family outing. Drive with caution as it would not make you win any race.

Areas of improvement  

 Low score on crash test needs to be improved.

 A/c for second row needs to be improved.

 Head room and leg room should has to be increased.

The experience of buying this car was very good, it is a lot of fun to drive it too, it is a very good car for a middle-class family, just if a little safety feature is increased in it, then it is a It can become a good family car, its service and maintenance is also done at a very low cost and every mechanic can fix it well, its parts are also very easy to get, it is very good in low budget.Its good thing is that it gives good mileage and its maintenance service cost is also very low, it is very affordable car but it also has some disadvantages like safety features Safety is not available and this is one of its biggest drawbacks, power is also a bit less in this because the engine is of 800 cc, just I would like to say that this car is very affordable car.
