Maruti Suzuki Alto 800 [2012-2016] User Reviews

Hello All,

Last month on 12th july got my 1st car Maruti Alto 800 Vxi. 1st car is always bring dream come true feelings. 

Now more than 1 month I am driving this. So I think it is the time to give review.

I bought this from OSL Motor cop Kolkata Baguiwati Show room.

Exterior Exterior is nice and simple. It may not attractive like EON or Kwid but it feels good when you see it. Look is very decent and clean and you should not feel bore if you are not choose enough. I will suggest to go with Vxi as it comes with all exterior features like guards and rear spoiler. This gives sporty touch to the car.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Well interior is good. color combination looks prety well. But it does not feel very high quality as  chip quality of meterial is used. Dash board looks nice. But Ac controls are not attractive much.IT comes with 2 front speakers. Sound quality is ok ok type. IF you want you can put 2 back speker.seats are good. but back seats are not very spacies for 3 people.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is really smooth. I drove EON and KWID but really I felt my car is smoother. May paper it is diffrent but on real world this feels much better then other. Yes it is true that putting AC will hamper the pick up. But honestly Alto 800 is not for racing. So according to its expection it generates great pick up and power. 5th gear required after 80 Km/h. After put the on 5th gear it easily reach 90-100 km/h speed. I think it decent one. 

Mileage is good. it has to because this car is made for milage consern people only. 1 month got 15 kmpl with out AC, and with AC may be 12- 13 kmpl. Now it is better. And may it will be better in next few months. And yes AC is very effective. 

Ride Quality & Handling Handeling is prity good. Very pepy to drive. Steearing is not very light. I felt other car steering more lighter than this. gear box is smooth but it makes little sound while changing. It may be for my can only. I am not sure for other alto 800 as i have not driven other.

Final Words For 1st car it is the best I would say. If you are not very much choosy with looks and heavy power. Then you have to go for 1200 cc cars. 

Areas of improvement Back wiper is not given . I think that is required on rainy days. And atleast VXI model should come with 4 speaker. Sound quality can me little better. Little Engine noise is there on high speed. IF that can be taken care then nice.
