My Alto800 CNG: Live to drive. (purchased March 2016)

Exterior is very decent. Nice soothing body and is always pleasant and decent to look at. Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Plastic quality needs to be improved. The colour tone can change to black and beige. Interior is liveable. Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I have covered nearly 13000 Kms in about 9 months. It's very peppy car and has never disappointed me. I have taken it even for long journeys many times and it has never disheartened me. It's a very good car to drive. I travel around 1400-1500 Kms a month and car has been an excellent companion so far. Even my father loves to drive this car. I get the xtra premium and power petrol filled in it and not the common/normal petrol. It gives an amazing mileage of 34km/ltr on this kind of petrol and gives 25km/kg on Cng. Cng cylinder is 10 Kg which fills to around 5-6 kg at best. Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is excellent probably the best in the segment. I rejected Eon and KWID for it. It's that good. Final Words: It's an excellent companion to have and will never let you down. I have covered nearly 13000 Kms in about 9 months. Just ensure you get the service done on time and take care of things such as tyre pressure refill etc. Areas of improvement The greatest letdown of such an excellent package for maruti are their dealers. They are thieves in broad daylight. 3 free services from Magic Auto (moti nagar) have costed me Rs.8500. They charge Rs.1800 for wheel alignment of Alto. That is the biggest drawback. Maintaining Alto is no longer cheap if you get the service done by a dealer.
