Maruti alto 800 is the first car of mine. i like this car, smooth driving on offroad areas really mud area. looking good and performance problem using ac.all other feature are good.service and maintenance is cheap compared to other cars like this. a small problem while driving on a hillside on air condition mode.

It's very nice to drive this car and it's very convenient also easy drive. Suzuki's Every car is wonderful to use this. It's a very good day to drive the car and going to long drive to this car

The pros and cons of something are its Advantages and disadvantages, which you consider carefully so that you can make a sensible decision..

Exterior Overall good,good looking.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Comfort for a family,the most i like is the interior beco'z a cup holder and several boxes were provided I like it.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearb Performance of the enginre is too good, easy pick up,very good mileage ts the best for rushy Indain traffic and on bad Indian roads, its maintenence cost is proven negligible.

Ride Quality & Handling Easy handling, good controlling, marginal view is so goodThis is the most familir engine, which most of the Indian motorists hace gone in some part of the life. This 800 CC motor is far superioe than Hyundai EON & Chevy Spark's much larger motors. Fuel efficieny...Kitna Deti Hai...? Best among all Petrol cars. Gearbox drivability is unmatched even by higher segment Santro & Beat.

Final Words It is the one of the best car in hatchback model,easy maintainence,nice pick up.

Areas of improveme I think size of the steering a little bit to be increased,ABS and head rests are to be provided  finally the car is awesoooome...!😝.

easy maintainance ,good fuel economy, easily handleablesize of the steering is too small and i.e, no sufficient space for luaguage nly 3-4 bags sufficien

This is one of the worst cars I have driven . It has lots of problems like engine sound is too loud , car vibrates too much while idle, its ride is too bumpy and uncomfortable, very low power even I have an experience that I went to a hilly area and we were 4 persons and I could feel the weak power that it wasn't able to pull and I couldn't go up from 2nd gear . I seriously wasted my money on this car . Alto k10 is lot better option than it.only mileagevery weak shock absorbers , uncomfortable seats , so weak power .

Just ok, most of the designs are copied from some another models..........should add some color range also.

Low qualty plastic, less thigh support to passenger, less boot space perfomence is good also fuel economy good handling. Maruti cant answer hyundai eon with this car, overall just a family car not to build for long drive. Car didint promised my expectations.

The latest product from the stables of Maruti Suzuki, all new Alto 800 seems set to fill in the shoes of the legendary 'Maruti 800' city car in the Indian auto market. The Alto brand has been the company's top selling product and ruled the entry-level passenger car segment of the domestic market between the period 2005-2006 and 2011-2012. With the 2012 Maruti Suzuki Alto 800, the country's favourite car maker has redefined its previous design methodologies and has given its new offering a fresh new look as compared to its older models.

ok.

Alto 800 best car in India. Avery middal class first choice alto 800. Cng miles 32 to 36 Petrol mileage 20 to 24 No maintenance. Good looking car. Great buying experienc.

Exterior

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.

After driving my Alto for years, I feel I made right judgement on the day when I went to showroom.. Alto is economical and good vehicle to drive.. Even today after 12yrs if I haven't upgraded myself to different car itself tells why I rated perfect 10 for this...
