Good car but if you don't expect power

 

I purchased a used 800 BSIII which was driven for 45000 kms. I driven it for around 3000 kms. Its really good if you are looking for a basic model. Decent space inside. Very good fuel economy 17-18kmpl(mostly in city but less trafic). Even though its already driven for 45k kms I found engine is very smooth. It has adequate power to carry 5 people but with AC on it really struggles. I felt we can switch on AC only on highways where u dont have gear changes. AC is below average and still it takes lot of power. Shock absorpers are not good. May be because this is old car, am not really sure. People told me to go for a new Alto. I dont want to spend 3.3 lakhs by taking 2l loan and repaying with interest. So I bought this. And now am happy with my decision. It really didnt disappoint me. And resale value. I bought it for 1.3L. Its 2007 model. I checked with maruthi true value. If am exchanging it next year its value is some where aroung 1.15L to 1.2L. So I really didnot loose anything.

Good FE, Proven Enginevery less power when AC is on,shock absorpers can be improved
