Great Car
The driving experience is quite satisfying as the vehicle efficiently serves its purpose. The primary advantages of owning this car lie in its low maintenance and high reliability. My 2013 model, with 40,000 km driven, incurs an annual service cost ranging from 3.5k to 7.5k, depending on the necessary part changes. If no parts need replacement, the service cost drops to a minimal 3k to 3.5k. The city mileage stands at 17 kmpl with a mix of AC on and off, reaching up to 19 kmpl without AC and 15 kmpl with AC consistently on. In terms of turning radius and parking, this car excels and is considered the best choice for city driving.

Maruti Alto Pros and Cons
Alto Positives Points: Now all variants have dual airbags as an option. Future ready BS6 compliant engine. You just can't beat the Maruti service network.
Alto Negatives Points: Still no touchscreen infotainment system. No AMT option. Base variant misses essentials like power steering and air conditioning.
Zigwheels Expert's Conclusion : Kudos to Maruti for now including safety features like dual airbags and ABS throughout the range. The BS6 compliant engine is an added bonus and we're sure the slight drop in efficiency won't hurt too much. All these updates keep it one of the easiest picks in the entry level segment.

Quality levels
3.0
I bought the maruti alto 800 in february 2012.The color is granite grey, And the car looks pretty nice when properly cleaned.Under the good is a 0.8l petrol engine which churns out 40.3bhp and 60 nm of torque.The power figures might be very astonishingly low, But the performance of the car is average.The quality levels of the car is also decent.Inside the door gets fabric claddings and nice grey leather upholstery.There are very much hard plastics, But they still are of a decent quality.The variant is lxi, The mid variant, And things which i get are 12 inch steel wheels with silver wheel caps, Yes that's a very small size.Has a standard normal digital instrument system, Analog speedometer with a digital display that shows time, Fuel to empty, And distance.Front seats are quite comfortable, No adjustable headrests of course, And under thigh support is quite decent enough.At the rear however, Three people cannot sit comfortably as there is a very huge h**p in the center, And the seats are very low, With very small, In fact tiny headrests which provide no whiplash support in case of a crash.The boot space is also quite decent, 177 litres, Which can be increased by lowering both the rear seats down.Talking about the safety, There is nothing.No abs, No ebd, No reverse parking cameras, No seat belt pretensioners, Nothing.Even the build quality is very poor, The c pillars easily dent inside if you press them with a thumb.

It's my second 4 wheel vehicle first was tata nano, And after that i thought of taking an new car to experience a showroom car, So as per a middle class man my first preference was alto 800 and it was not a bad choice i got the best experience on a new car and i understand the difference between a used car and a showroom car.With my alto my long journey was till hyderabad.Actually the car is a city car for a micro family, And also who runs buisness within the city is also oky but long drive it's not at all a good idea.Regarding the service mostly it was like 5k monthly, And that was ok compared to any second hand cars.And i was getting a 15 to 18 km/ltr with ac mileage in the city drive and 16 to 20 km/ltr with ac and that was great.Build quality ia average because i got a small accident with a vehicle but my entire b***r front grill, Number, And fender also got damaged in a small hit with a speed of 40km speed.And i felt like don't take this as a comment my toy is not a proper engineered vehicle like for example volkswagen, Skoda etc these are proper engineered vehicle that we can understand in a look.Engine perfect is still oky because that 800cc engine is giving the maximum for the car, And overall for a budget friendly home car or small business man can suit the car very well because of the budget and let say our alto 800 is a pocket rocket for indian roads.

I have been using Alto 800
I have been using alto 800 std ac version bought in april 2021, I must say the upgrade done by maruti in this small segment car is tremendous, Power break, 2 front power windows, Abs, Wiper font and rear seat belt, Reverse sensor, The mileage is amaznig it gave me more 26 on highway and within city 18 without petrol and upto 22 with ac i got a great deal of 3.85 l on road of which i am very happy.
