better than m800
Maruti alto standard is much better option to maruti 800. so if you are planning to sell your m800, then maruti alto std version is the best option. It is longer than the maruti 800 and also it is more spacious. The engine is similar to m800 so it is giving similar wonderful mileage like m800.
Rest is all the good assurance from Maruti Ugyog. No problems with my Maruti Alto, except after purchasing from dealership, left headlight was not working. It was replaced immediately, as it was fused bulb.
My husband wanted to get rid of his Maruti 800 so the Alto was the natural choice. Nevertheless, we compared it with the Santro Xing and other small cars before we purchased the Maruti Alto as it fitted our family requirements and budget wonderfully.
We use it for short distances outside the town and my husband uses it to drive between office and home. The Alto's engine is really very smooth. I am also planning to get myself another Alto because its so easy to drive.
