Pros Cons of Maruti Suzuki Alto 800

Pros

  • Small and budget friendly car for entry level buyers
  • The gears slot in well and the clutch travel is less too
  • It is very fuel efficient

Cons

  • The safety features on the car are next to non-existent
  • The Alto does not get much in terms of features
  • seat cushioning could have been better

Verdict

Alto 800 is worth its value if you are having a small family. It is a 4-seater car and therefore can support 4-5 members. The on-road price of the car is relatively cheaper in comparison to the facilities it offers and most importantly the fuel economy. The style elements with tech support and safety measures make the hatchback perfect for a city drive. Maruti has priced the top-end Alto 800 at ₹ 5.03 lakh and this is truly something significant.

Pros Cons of BMW 3 Series

Pros

  • Performance
  • Exquisite Driving Dynamics
  • Comfortable Over Long Journeys

Cons

  • Low Ground Clearance
  • Lacks Boot Space
  • Lacks Second Row Leg Space

Verdict

The prices are competitive enough and BMW will like to believe that the lack of a credible rival at this stage will help it capture the compact premium sedan market. The premium car buyer in India will like that it retains its traditional strengths and yet gives a bit more by way of luxury and comfort, giving it a more all-rounder appeal than before. Expect to see a few of these on the roads - could have been more - had the automobile market not been badly hammered down as it were.
