Alto review from my prespective

Posted by hamza on Jan 24, 2011

Hi,

I have purchased a zero meter Alto in September 2010 and it was my very new experience as my all family members has CULTUS and we have had a pretty good experience of Cultus over all.

Untill than I drove 11,000 KMs on ALTO, it gave me excellent CNG consumption even on AC, with around 210 kms in one cylinder of CNG, my experience is its over all good family car which you can rely. I installed Dunlop tires and its grip is good enough now, car's MP 3 player is good but have only two speakers in the front which is not enough for the good sound, I found two major cons in the car.

1. The gears are very tough to shift at the start, even after I changed the gear oil on first 1,000 km, still they are not hard.

2. Car's engine noise, its more than what I was expecting, but I would like to tell you the reason that it is because of the POTOHAR's engine that ALTO has replaced with his new body, but with more noise, I also felt that car's engine is more stronger than cultus's previous 3 cylinder engine mainly if you compare it when you drove it on mountains.

Over all, it was a very good experience, AC is chilling and it does not go to heated up if you regularly (Once in a week) check the radiator water and do not fill the bottle up to the mark that is MAX, try to use coolent instead of water in the radiator, my opinion is that car is expensive and we can get a cultus in that cost but on the other hand, you can see the over all cost of 1000cc or even 850cc cuore's cost has increased so much so purchasing ALTO is just to complete the need of a new car which you can easily rely on, and my findings are that when my car will start giving out work after 2 or 3 years, I will sale it out :)

Good part of ALTO is excellent consumption after I adjusted tappets on completion of 1000 kms, comfort and its cuts and shapes.

Other than that, one should not expect to get a Honda city's performance in that price which is already very high.

I have owned and driven cultus, santro and alto. Find below the comparison

1. Cultus: Suspension (Excellent), Road Grip (Excellent), Brakes (Satisfactory), A/C (Good) Seating Space (Excellent), Mileage on CNG (Excellent), Overall Quality of Car (Satisfactory)

2. Santro Club GV: Supension (Below Average), Road Grip (Below Average), Brakes (Good), A/C (Excellent), Seating Space (Below Average), Comfort (Below Average), Mileage on CNG (Excellent), Overall Quality of Car (Below Average), Steering is very hard not recommended for ladies, Shocks (Below Average)

3. Alto VXR: Suspension (Good), Road Grip (Good), Brakes (Excellent), A/C (Good), Seating Space (Average), Mileage on CNG (Good), Overall Quality of Car (Good)

I strongly Recommend every one to go for cultus and alto instead of Hyundai Santro.

I have santro that I have been sold due to many issues, major is costly spare parts and maintenance.
Recently I ride in ALTO, my friend was driving and we were going to Gujranwala from Lahore, the speed was 140/km and AC was chilling on that speed, car was on full road grip.
We come back in 1 cylinder, but when we switch off the engine radiator bottle overflowed that is not good.

Overall it’s a good car but you should buy a new one except 2nd hand.

i have driven alto for three years now and it seems to be as good as new even though it has been driven for 32000km. i personally believe that alto is the best car among the other cars that paksuzuki produces, in terms of reliability, stability, low cost of maintenance, fuel economy and at last but not the least comfort for its price tag.

only one minor concern that i would like to share is the somewhat noisy passenger cabin. i dont know whether it is because the low profile soundproofing arrangement or because of its engine's extra noise.

man its amazing for its fuel economy it gives me regularly 22 - 23 km/kg of cng on highway. sometime it exceeds even this, as when i last went to karachi from multan it gave me an amazing millage of 25 km/kg of cng.

currently i am planning to replace it with honda civic but guys truly when i think about this i become sad with this thought that i am not gonna have an alto anymore.

Alto really rocks...........

i have 2006 alto and i found it good car in tearms of its performance and comfort with good value of money.

compare to coure its ac perform better due to 1000 cc engine, its aero dynamic shape also help for better feul consumption on highways

car seats , front leg space, feul economey on highway , car breaks very effective and ac good, however within city u cant judge its feul econmey where car runs in 1st or 2nd gear.

car audio system is not good.

i think overall in this price car is good.

We wanted to buy a 2nd car, comparing Alto, & Coure, we opted for ALTO. Being a Suzuki, to me it meant cheaper maintanance & reliability.

However we got our 1st surprise when we noted that car started to shake (Up & Down) as soon we crossed 60kms. We took it to 3s dealership, the foreman took it for drive and told us its bad tyres, we took it to General Tyres they said its suspension. After some to & fro visits I took the car to nilagumbat and got new Yokohama tyres, problem resolved.

At 7000plus kms I was driving down the main boulevard when I noted lot of smoke from the car, it was so bad that oil started dripping from tail pipe by the time I reached home. Took it to 3s, was told that this is generic problem with ALTO as valve start sticking forcing oil in cylinders. The problem was sorted out but the performance is not the same ever since. The engine has lost its zip, its not smooth anymore.

After a year the car started over heating, and you could hear water boiling and steam coming out of the plastic bottle. Got the radiator cleaned but the problem continued. The pressure would bust heater pipes. A friend suggested to get the fan direct, which has lessened the problem but still water over flows.

This summer the air conditioner stopped cooling, in fact it would start ok, but after few minutes the air would slow down, water would drip on carpet, it seemed something was blocking the condensor. 3s checked and told us its working ok, I was not satisfied and took it to a small shop, after listning to my complaint he opened the lower part of the condensor and found that the sponge sheet attached to the fresh air flap had come off and blocking the condensor.

BAD; The car has just been driven 23000kms in 2 years, you can hear noises, steering rattles, engine is very noisy, heavy on petrol. Body is very weak, bonet is dented while closing it.

GOOD; Resale, Ride is very smooth, seats are supportive.
