Yeah, those prices for Anti rust sounds good. Teflon is a tricky thing, it really depends on washing cycle of the cars and washing process for its life. you can go with it

Friend, its really nice and neatly written review. If the middle AC vents also the same type of side ac vents it would have been nice. it can be closed completely. Spark has the same kind of AC Vents in all four.

Hey can it accommodation 5 in rear sear comfortly? mine is 1,495 mm and alto 800 is 1490 mm. I have some problems when 3 adults [well built] sit in the back.

interiors are really cool. I like that bottle facility behind gear shaft. Please post more pics freinds

No, only 3 medium height people. Comfortable because of good leg and head room.

Nice review, enjoyed reading it..

How about the A/C performance. Can it cool the entire cabin with 2-3 mins ?

Pickup with A/C ?

Thanks buddy.
A/C performance is very good, yes cools the whole cabin very quickly and it feels very chill with full.
Pickup with A/C on is perfect not felt any lag.

Tenida, that was a great review, your views and points on the car was really good! Keep it up.[clap]

I did not know much about the history of Alto being an owner of one, but you gave the full insight and made us to know the greatness of Alto.

It surely looks decent, in fact i was really impressed when i saw a red one today. The pics in internet was not good, my oversight led me to hate the car but not now (truly).

All the best for the rest of your ownership and have a safe and happy motoring with your new car.

Sethu its really tough for manufacturers to give second row A/C vents in budget hatches because the costs will raise up a lot.

No Vishwas. Sorry for not being clear. I was talking about the middle one like this


instead of this



I think the first one has full close option which the second one does not have [I guess so]

I have not asked for AC vent in second row at all.

Sethu Sir,

correct me if I am wrong, they give full close option when some co passenger or somebody else do not want AC effect on his face. If they give full close option in the middle then what is the use of AC switch off buttons[surprise]

Gurralla sir, You are right. But as an option if it is there it will be nice. do not know when it will be useful. In my case only my son who sits in co passenger seat needs AC and all of do not want it. In that case we will close all vents and only the left most vent will be open. Other way round some times I alone might require AC then all will be closed except right most vent. both the times AC fan will be in 1 or 2 instead of full blowing. Just a thought. I can feel the difference of this type from my M800 to sparky. That is the reason I wanted to point that.
