For First Time Buyers: Look for Better options

My review is for First Time Car buyers, who want good return of there money. We have choice in this segment 2.8L to3.5L - diff variants. Read this and decide your self. I've been using this car from 38 months crossed 75000kms. I bought this instead of Santro coz of milage. I knew it has less power, but didn't expected it to be so poor. 90% of time I'm alone even then feel the problem in pick up. Initially it gave me good average of 18km/Ltr with AC but now I'm getting 14-16Km/ltr. It hardly reaches speed above 115km/hr. Braking is also not that efficient, seriously needs to be improved. It needs frequent servicing , specially the CLUTCH part which has become like old scooter's in operation. It has been repaired (polishing) more then three times. I have to get it adjusted after every 10000kms. Its really pain to drive it in traffic. Shockers are reaaly bad, you feel the complete profile of Road. Overall I feel very disappointed. I bought Santro also after year of using ALTO. I think if you drive around 80km a day then Maxm Life of this car is 80000-95000km after which it should be dumped immediately. My car has crossed 75000kms. I think I can drive it maxm. 15000kms more and will go for Better ONE.... Well I decided to keep a driver for lato as its pain to drive it because of Heavy clutch and poor pick up. Also, now no one can blame me of not using clutch properly. Afterall they always have this excuse and can blame for poor driving skills. Comparision: Body: Santro is better Engine: Santro is Better Driving & Sitting Comfort :Santro is Better, Alto has v bumpy ride. Driving in Dark/Night : Alto very scary not good visiblity (I don know why but I always avoid) Fuel efficieny: ALto is better Leg Space : Santro is Better Braking : Santro is Better Steering : Santro is Better Safety :Santro is Better Looks & style :Santro is Much Better Maintenance: Almost Same. Resale Value :Santro is Better Overall Satisfaction: Santro is Better Price diffrence : approx 35K One more observation, Check it yourself...Checkout IInd Car stalls, web sites....You will find lot of ALTO, more than other cars. NOT because its most selling or its bad car. But after driving it for a year...people want/feel to upgrade there car. Go for Santro, speak to your friend who have Santro..they are more staisfied. I'm not against Maruti but in this segment ALTO is totally outdated model. Toady best choice would be i10,Getz....or aATLEAST Santro.
