Design is good. The passenger side ORVM (Left) was not there at the time of purchase. Since the Vxi Variant has been launced very recently, the same is made available as an optional accessory. Design of the front grill is not good at all.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)
The quality of the plastic should really be improved but, then again the price of the car is also reasonable so, the buyer will have to console themselves. Power Window feature is available for the front windows only. Recently launched Vxi Variant has Power Window for Both Front and Rear. What is unfortunate is that a Lxi User can't even upgrade the Manual Rear Windows to power window since it is not available as an optional accessory.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox
I have noticed abnormal vibration in engine after 2 months of buying this car. when the engine running in idle, one can feel the vibration in steering wheels, pedal, doors ORVMs etc. Maruti Service Technicians claim this to be normal for this car.
Maruti claims the Mileage of this car to be 22.74 Kmpl in ideal driving condition and ofcourse without AC. Now so far what I have got is 13 kmpl (Avg) with AC in city traffic condition. I hope this will increase upto 14-15 Kmpl after second servicing.
Gearbox is qutie smooth but, there is a problem with the Reverse Gear. The car makes a noise when put in to Reverse Gear. Sometimes the driver may struggle to put it in reverse. I believe this problem is also present in the Alto and Alto K-10 Model.
Ride Quality & Handling
Ride quality and Handling is very smooth, perfect for City Driving.
Final Words
Overall its value for money. if you have a family of 4, Fuel Economy is a concern and you don't need a car with great pick up and all, go for an Alto 800.
Areas of improvement
Maruti should work on reducing the engine vibration which shakes the entire car. Power Windows for rear should be made available as an optional accessory. Also Front Grill design should be changed to a much better looking one.

Even though its not an impressive model, its not bad too. tail gate have been well designed and its shows lots of difference from the old alto. front look too good.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)
Interior is much better than old alto. dash board plastic is little better when compare with old alto. however the rear seats are still cramped.

The F8D Engine is doing well. As Torque and BHP is slightly increased, i didnt find any difficulty during the initial time. thanks for maruti engineers.
Ride Quality & Handling
Ride quality is quiet impressive, suspension has lots of improvement and shows lots of difference from the old alto.

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.
