Good family car Rating of 3 out of 5 Rating of 3 out of 5 Rating of 3 out of 5 Rating of 3 out of 5 Rating of 3 out of 5

I currently own Maruti 800 and want to buy a new car in the same range and more specifically from Maruti family only. And I found Maruti Alto the apt choice for me. I am having a small family of 4 which can easily accommodate in this small and compact car.

It is upgraded version of Maruti 800 having power steering and inbuilt AC. In a congested place like Ahmedabad, it is a good car to opt for in traffic clad areas.

It is a car which suits the person driving it. It gives good fuel mileage in comparison to the base models of Hyundai Santro Zing and Fiat Palio.

It has all the basic features a small car needs to have with the cost which is all affordable.

It can rightly be said to be a good family car.

better than m800 Rating of 4 out of 5 Rating of 4 out of 5 Rating of 4 out of 5 Rating of 4 out of 5 Rating of 4 out of 5

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.
