Yup I bought an alto a year back. My dad has the lancer which i use on the weekends. Alto is for Electronics city commute.

.

The alto has this very annoying jerk while engine braking and during stop and go traffic. when you press the gas on and off in stop go traffic the car gives a sudden jerk and then goes ahead. this is not from start but after a while.

here's the link where i posted that.

Lets see how this goes. once I'm back I'm again supposed to take the car to the dealer.

I've taken it 5 times already. They changed the clutch assembly by saying the alto had a defective clutch plate during the Oct 2005 batch.

I took that in writing from Mandovi that it was changed. They told me to see if the car is fine. I told them the clutch is fine but it still jerks.

The dumb guy says thats a common problem in Alto as it is undepowered with the AC.

When i asked him why doesnt it happen in my friends cars which I drive often and they bought their cars 2 months after mine he has no answer.

Once i come back then I'll probably publicize the matter.
