I purchased Alto 800, Maruti Suzuki (799cc engine) in November 2013 due to its small size, good mileage & low price in India. Front & Rear Tyre are tubeless. Fitted with AC, Blower, front window is power window, power steering, power break. Its cost was about 290000 INR+ 10000 INR+ 26000 Road Tax = 326000.00
First I feel less comfort due low seat and small space but after some when I became habitual so I forget it. I experienced its mileage 20-21 KM/L on petrol. After some time I attached CNG Gas Kit from a approved company then I was wondered. because it mileage on CNG Gas is 30-33 KM/Kg. So now I am very happy because it cheaper than a 150CC engine bike with comfort.
Physical Appearance It looks like small toy car which excellent driving power. Mostly I drive it 80-90 KM/H but when reach above 90km/h it gives a sense of uncontrolled driving.

3- Transmission type : Manuel Service & Maintenance : Its service & maintenance is not very cheap as I was expected.
It cost me about £3000-£7000.
Drawback: I problem on CNG fuel its engine stops when in higher speed I release clutch and take break which stops all functions which are power driven like power break, power steering.
Further suggestion: my suggestion to manufacture is that please improve its engine & weight so that it can create sense of car in higher speed, Increase its hight. Over-all impact of this car upon me is that it is the gift not a which makes me happy but more care is needed.
