Maruti Suzuki Alto 800 [2012-2016] User Reviews

Riding experience: It's a nice car to ride but but the problem is when u use AC then the pulling will be very low
Details about looks, performance etc: Outlook is is better than Maruti Suzuki 800
Servicing and maintenance: Servicing and maintenance is very good with Maruti Suzuki

It's not a dream car but Alto will not disappoint you. This is a smooth driving experience. Main point is milage. Almost 2.5k per year maintenance. For most affordable stylish car is definitely Alto.

A.c. not better just NORMAL A.C. and Not a powerful A.C. Low maintenance car all about good mileage car 22 petrol.

NANA

Riding experience is good. Need more features as other small cars provided for better experience. It is affordable or minimum cost for servicing and maintenance. It's look is good and performs better.

This car is value for money car, only one thing maruti should improve its body, alto 800 body is very weak even a small hit can give a dent on the body, fuel economy is good, comfort of this car is on an average.

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.

Best in ClassSpace

Very good ?? better then any in this compition Go for it don't go for other GO u know what I mean Comfort is the only thing u have to compromise Other then that it's the best best resale value also

Exterior: I felt Eon and Kwid more apppealing(looks) but 'Appearances are often deceptive'.  Alto 800 2016 has improved a lot in looks. I chose Alto 800 as Practicality was the prime concern.  I added crome so that it looked better.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The 796cc car is for small trips hence boot space is sufficient. If one knows the art of packing the luggage, space is enough(need good bags-like American tourister,sky). I fold the rear seat and could carry coconuts(around 70) :-)
Boot space, storage and features are better in Eon and Kwid. But car is for commuting and in that Alto 800 is the best.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Suspension is good; gear shift are smooth; It has a decent fuel economy 18-20kpl.

Ride Quality & Handling: The Car to run primarily on roads and carry 4-5 passengers. Good handling. steering is responsive, good ride quality. During rany season in the bad streches of roads the low graound clearance was a clearance(also in hill areas). In the over all driving experience found ALTO 800 the BEST choice in the price range.

Final Words IF LOOKS, boot space is the focus this is not the choice. But for me car was for transporting people without spending much on it. It is a reliable car and the spare parts availabilty, cost of ownership makes it a better package. Car(any) can't be said as a an asset(in true sence); Alto 800 has least depreciation over the years.

Areas of improvement More luggage space 200l minimum,increase internal storage(1 or 2 bottle holders), increase ground clarance.

Reliablity, Good milege, maruthi serice network,Ground clearance, rear seat , less Boot space

Go for the new model don't buy a second-hand car. Very low space and lack of function body quality is not so good tyre are also very small only for city ride....storage space is also very minimum.
