      After driving my Alto for years, I feel I made right judgement on the day when I went to showroom.. Alto is economical and good vehicle to drive.. Even today after 12yrs if I haven't upgraded myself to different car itself tells why I rated perfect 10 for this...

      It drives smoothly and the 796cc f8d engine is very good and reliable, it looks fairly good on the outside and the interior feels nice, the performance and mileage are good obviously with low servicing costs. but it has less space in the boot and the rear seats are not very comfortable but can compromise for the price level

      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... ????

      Exterior

      Design is good. The passenger side ORVM (Left) was not there at the time of purchase. Since the Vxi Variant has been launced very recently, the same is made available as an optional accessory. Design of the front grill is not good at all.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

      The quality of the plastic should really be improved but, then again the price of the car is also reasonable so, the buyer will have to console themselves. Power Window feature is available for the front windows only. Recently launched Vxi Variant has Power Window for Both Front and Rear. What is unfortunate is that a Lxi User can't even upgrade the Manual Rear Windows to power window since it is not available as an optional accessory.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

      I have noticed abnormal vibration in engine after 2 months of buying this car. when the engine running in idle, one can feel the vibration in steering wheels, pedal, doors ORVMs etc. Maruti Service Technicians claim this to be normal for this car.

      Maruti claims the Mileage of this car to be 22.74 Kmpl in ideal driving condition and ofcourse without AC. Now so far what I have got is 13 kmpl (Avg) with AC in city traffic condition. I hope this will increase upto 14-15 Kmpl after second servicing.

      Gearbox is qutie smooth but, there is a problem with the Reverse Gear. The car makes a noise when put in to Reverse Gear. Sometimes the driver may struggle to put it in reverse. I believe this problem is also present in the Alto and Alto K-10 Model.

      Ride Quality & Handling

      Ride quality and Handling is very smooth, perfect for City Driving.

      Final Words

      Overall its value for money. if you have a family of 4, Fuel Economy is a concern and you don't need a car with great pick up and all, go for an Alto 800.

      Areas of improvement  

      Maruti should work on reducing the engine vibration which shakes the entire car. Power Windows for rear should be made available as an optional accessory. Also Front Grill design should be changed to a much better looking one.

      Exterior 

      Looks to small from outside, Looks like some one has smashed it from above. I just bought it on the name of maruti, din knew it will be a pathetic experience.

       

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

      Very very bad, Not for long drives, Material used for interior is to much  defective. Cheap in price and cheap in everything. 

       

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

      Economy is no doubt good as usual

       

      Ride Quality & Handling

      OK ok types, not as comfortable as previous alto


       

      Final Words

      My suggestion don buy alto 800 rather buy K10 . It is very uncomfortable to drive or sit for more than few hours. Internal space seems to have shrunken. Cant extend your legs even.

       

      Areas of improvement  

      Increase the internal space, improve quality of the material used for manufacturing of plastic covers in the car, AC panels are always defective, improve it, CNG fitment is so poor that not even a bit of space is left, I had CNG got fitted from outside (authorised showroom) , and still i can keep a fet things there. Seats are not comfortable, improve them. and the best stop manufacturiing of this car, make the previous alto design back. This design is very very bad in my opinion.

       

       

      Good fuel economyVery less spacious, Bad interiors, No lock on 3 gates, only driving side has it, Material poor

      Just ok, most of the designs are copied from some another models..........should add some color range also.

      Low qualty plastic, less thigh support to passenger, less boot space perfomence is good also fuel economy good handling. Maruti cant answer hyundai eon with this car, overall just a family car not to build for long drive. Car didint promised my expectations.

       front gril, headlamp design, back bumber and doordesign

      The latest product from the stables of Maruti Suzuki, all new Alto 800 seems set to fill in the shoes of the legendary 'Maruti 800' city car in the Indian auto market. The Alto brand has been the company's top selling product and ruled the entry-level passenger car segment of the domestic market between the period 2005-2006 and 2011-2012. With the 2012 Maruti Suzuki Alto 800, the country's favourite car maker has redefined its previous design methodologies and has given its new offering a fresh new look as compared to its older models.

      ok.

      Exterior

       Even though its not an impressive model, its not bad too. tail gate have been well designed and its shows lots of difference from the old alto. front look too good.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

       Interior is much better than old alto. dash board plastic is little better when compare with old alto. however the rear seats are still cramped.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

       The F8D Engine is doing well. As Torque and BHP is slightly increased, i didnt find any difficulty during the initial time. thanks for maruti engineers.

      Ride Quality & Handling

       Ride quality is quiet impressive, suspension has lots of improvement and shows lots of difference from the old alto.

      Final Words

       When compare with Eon the new alto 800 is very far from. but the rate is much better and its value for money

      Areas of improvement  

       

       

      Good Pick up , Mileage, StyleNo Central Lock, Music System
