All New Maruti Suzuki Alto 800 (LXi) Ownership Review

[jihu123]

Frankly, even I too am not impressed with seats. It doesn't fit well. I am sure you can get a better place for fitting them. I have the same type of seat covers which was stitched from a reputed store here. Here is the link if you want to see them - http://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/ownership-reviews/6185-my-volkswagen-polo-1-2-tdi-family-babe-6.html#post231471

the side door speakers looks fine, can't say much about the rear boot. But if you are getting it done from them, make sure its done perfectly without any gap. In my last car (alto), the rear boot speaker was fixed pathetically. After 1-2 years, the speaker started coming off from the plank fixed on boot lid!

Friends, Just want to know.

couple of days before I was walking to my pick-up point from my home around 5.45am. Entire area was calm, and a alto 800 crossed me. What surprised me was the sound. it was more or less equal to a Tata Ace/Tata Nano. I start to wonder whether the sound is because of the quality of engine or problem with silencer or with the driver.

Can some one explain me this

Sound is more than older Alto, Spark and eon but, I think its because engine sets at higher RPM. But it's not a problem while we inside the cabin.

You would get much better art-leather seat covers stitched somewhere else, the fitting looks loosened and not perfect, even with those speakers in the boot door. It isn't placed properly, i would suggest you to fix a plank and plonk your speakers for better SQ.

Thank you for your suggestion. Will do the fittings from reputed car accessories at Kolkata called "Xclusive"
About fitting speaker at rear, can you post some link showing how to mount the speaker to get proper SQ.

I found it to be less noisy than my current alto. Maybe because it was calm and less noisy you would have find it noisy. Whenever i come home in a Sumo Gold at mornings, it makes a loud noise enough to wake up the whole lane.

Get the price quote first and proceed with it, shouldn't cost you more than 4~5 k.

About fitting speaker at rear, can you post some link showing how to mount the speaker to get proper SQ.

I suggest you to install speakers with the help of a plank as shown in the below picture to get the most out of your speakers, even a 300 watts JBL does the job.

the speakers shown by Vishwas is better. Fixing it on the rear boot is not a good idea & won't stay in place for long unless its fixed perfectly!
I recommend you to fix the plank as shown above. It gives better sound quality too!

Finally bought Alto 800 's art leather (OEM) seat covers from Maruti-Suzuki Dealer. Costed me Rs. 4090/- with vat.

Nice!! I like black-red combo for seat covers. They look a bit loose at places, maybe the guy who put them on didn't stretch them when installing them.

Yeah red-black looks quite cool and sporty. They have also blue-grey seat cover but I choose this as its matching with the white color.

 

[sethumurugan]

Tenida, that is cool buddy. But for white car will this red/black go well?

Thanks and yes for white car this color combination looks really cool imo. My parents also liked it

@Tenida,
If you go to Shantipally, R.B. Connector ,"Xlusive', then there is a technician named Munna, he is the best IMO, Ask him about the fixing of speakers in rear. I think it is better to use parcel tray rather than hatch door.
Bye the way your baby looks great.
Regards.

@Tenida, the color combo of the seat covers looks great, but looking at the rear seat, the covers has been stitched loosely, these showroom people are always like this, doesn't care always, go to them to get it stitched tightly, else the covers loosens fast.
