mod for alto

Hi All I own an Alto Car Basic one  w/o Power steering, A/c,  power windows.

How much would it cost to install all of this any Idea if some one has got it done can u pls give me more details on this 

Installing power steering and AC alone would alone entail a lot of mechanical mods and would be very expensive(50K in an around)-would not advice to retrofit the power steering system.

AC and power windows can well be upgraded cost would be around 25K for both.

I too would recommend power windows, and AC. Power steering on Alto is useless. The car itself is so light and not much effort is required to work the steering - the main reason why there is a variant without PS at all. All bigger cars will at least have PS standard.

Thx Guys as it is Not used by Me I use Punto  This is my mother she finds it difficult to turn witout PS so just wanted to make her ride more comfy thats all .

May even look for another Car. Today had been to Maruti Showroom, I saw a poster stating that a guy gets 37.4Kmp/l on his Astar, is it possible please advise.

Not possible for normal people to get this abnormal FE. If your mother gets it, the dealership will print her posters.

The answer for heavy steering is not to steer when the car is stationary. let it get into motion, however slowly, and then the steering will get lighter, due to static friction getting converted into rolling friction. A small habit change can save you bucks.

S Surely they would but den y would they claim so much if they say 37 (my bike gives lesser mileage) But would it atleast give 25?? too much is it?

@keerthi, the advertised 37 kmpl on A-star would be the winner of some hypermiling competition - or the driver would have adopted certain techniques that allowed him to get that mileage. In normal usage even the worse motorcycle will give better mileage (and better is a relative term here! even 30kmpl for a bike is shameful nowadays). All said, don't expect to get that sort of mileage from a car under day-to-day driving conditions, for, in order to get that mileage would require things that usually people will find difficult/uncomfortabe/impractical. And who, better than Krishna can tell you all about these things ?.
