Default Maruti Alto or 800?

Which on do you think is a better deal. Would you like to go for Maruti Alto or you would like to go for Maruti 800. I think that Maruit 800 is a outdated car and it would be better to go with Maruit Alto as it is much better looking and also a great valur for money car.

What are your opinions.?

maruti 800 stands nowhere in front of Alto

There is not doubt about that alto is far better than martuti 800 because for all the reasons you have already explained but i heard some maruti 800 cars manufactured long time back were having or giving more mileage than any other cars of the present from Maruti but not sure about the present maruti 800!

My suggestion would be to go with Maruti Alto as it has all the things which one can get in this price and more over it much better looking car then 800.

If anybody from "Maruti" will ever read all our comments I am sure they will stop manufacturing Maruti 800 and will double their Alto production

True to an extent - but M800 is cheaper by almost 1 lakh and that makes a difference to some.

Actually if you asked me, Both are good. It dose have a utility and finance which is a deciding factor.

Normally Alto has power staring which is not in 800. But the cost is almost 80 thousand more. Is this rally worth is a question which will decide the purchase.

Thanks

I would go for Alto anyday, but i use an old 1997 M800 for city rides and till this day it hasnt given me any troubles. Maybe due to low running, it has clocked just 46k.

I think the Alto is better than the 800, in many ways!

if u want the AC to function and still not bring the car to a halt, then its Alto only and not 800.

Go for Alto as Maruti is planning to phase out its most successful model M-800 with 5-6 years. Then the next entry level car which will be available is Alto. Alto has good mileage and looks quite good. Its wider than rest of Maruti cars i.e, 3-4 people can be seated in rear seats.

While WagonR, Estilo have less space in their rear seats.
