   I agrre with you. Also the visibility from inside is so poor that i doubt the capability of the designer team of Maruti. The front sitting passangers would have a tough time for a good view.

   The rear seat passengers will have a tough time if the ac is not on.. the window is too small and ill shaped.

   it has more features than the i10 which is costs about the same. I bet its even more fuel efficient, thats all i have for the defense of the a-star otherwise i think i10 is better.

   Better buy Santro or i10; AStar not at all worth the price with cramped seating

    A STAR has a very small boot space. That is its main drawback and it is meant for youngsters and executives for office going only and not for the families. Otherwise, its a good car and is comparable with i10 Magna.

    A star is definatly a winner against i10,i10 looks bad in shape and doesnot looks like a sporty guy,its looks like a Halwai with fat tummy..beige interior looks just like an dull carpet with no accessory and charm,,,pick up of A star is awesome ..good for 2 couple for long drieve as well for city drive...go for A star it roacks,,,i have booked this on yesterday after 2 months of regress test drieve and review...

    Well A Star has pretty looks and if only one has taken test drive you can feel its actually offers a lot than any other comaparable options. i10 is it's nearest competitor but it cost much with downclass interiors. For this price segment one feels milage and service will always score with probable owners go for it!

    hi, everyone can have a different opinions but at allways a star is better than maruti 800 which is a dramatic hit in past i dont think astar is anyways lesser than m-800 in all its features.

    It's a good car, except AC , Air condition of the car is not up to the mark. Pick up is very good. Having good braking system. Fuel efficiency , it gives 13-15 in city and 18 for long drive. I am happy and it will click in the market...

    I own this car and iam very happy with its performance. If i have to compare this car (Vxi) with i10 (Era 1.1L) then it is a better car because: 1) all power windows integrated sterio, i10 have only 2 power windows (2) fuel economical (3) Better and economical Service. Dual Toned Interior is better than i10 monotonous beige color. For me and my wife it is sufficient with lots of space in the front seats

    If somebody is only fuel consus then pl buy A-Star. When you are spending Rs.4 Lakh then just think about the following for your future 7-8 years or otherwise you will have to repend a lot. a) Built Quality b)Engine Power c)Engine Reputation d)Quality of Interiors e)Space is an import factor f)Service reputation.
    I think Hyundai i-10 and Getz Prime 1.1 is far far better option.

    Leg space and boot space are points to be considered.A Star is one with bigger dimensions in length and width than Alto-Then why lesser leg space and boot space - failure in interior design.

    A-Star is having the best power and pick up in its segement, even much better than Santro/i10/Wagon R etc, with better fuel economy. Front sitting is good, but rear seating and boot space is not spacious. Handling is good but over 120km/h it vibrates and trambles.

    I dont know how mr. vasant u r comparing it with alto.I tjink u knows nothing abt automobiles.Becoz alto has 800 cc engine while astar with 998 cc.And engine power (67 bhp) is not comparable with (43 bhp)Alto.More over ground clearance,bigger tyres ,high torque at low RPM and vichicle width is best in this catageory and evev better than i10 etc.N one more advantage of fuel economy astar is giving 21km/li(highway) as compare to 19 km/li of Alto. I dont know on what basis u r comarin it wid alt
