This is one of the reviews that was so true in my case too. Me and my brother picked up a used alto vxi 1.1 (53k kms) for 1.8L in chennai. The car was white and had a few small dents, the owner seemed to have driven it extensively. The tyres were horrible but the engine sounded great, a'c was good and the other mechanicals were fine.
Though I had a drivers license it was with this car that both me and my bro properly learnt to drive. We had two minor accidents (one to each). But the cars real nice to drive in spite of the uneven tyres.
We did an overall service after we got the car. Two weeks back we changed our wheels and tyres. Got ourselves 13in LUFF wheels and 155/65 R13 Michelin tyres and boy the car hass changed! and how! it feels super smooth to drive.
Next on the list a good ICE set up for the car
and some interior work in terms of seats etc.
and once both me and my bro are confident of not denting the car on a regular basis we will get all the dents smoothened out and a neat repaint on those areas.
Will post the pics of my car soon
