-   -   old alto or 800 (https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/hatchbacks/8507-old-alto-800-a.html)

i own a wagonr and am looking for a second hand car for my wife between alto and 800. i have heard that there was a 5 speed gear box 1000cc engine previously alto launched previously which is extremely good, is it true ? any suggestions?

yeah its our desi pocket rocket !
i love it ... i'd buy the 1.1L over a new zen anyday ...

yes, there was a alto 1.1 vxi version, which borrowed mechanicals from the wagon-r; had a 1063cc engine, 63 bhp, et.al... a very nice car, i might add...except maruti saw it as a threat to the zen, and discontinued it...

a good buy if you can find one in pristine condition...a definite steal over the now-defunct 800.... (actually, the 800's been defunct from the past 6 years or so...)

yup, get that alto 1.1. stay away frm 800 mate. though 800 maybe cheaper, a lot than the 1.1 alto provided you find it.

still an alto is far better than the old 800

Only reason why you would still buy a 800 over Alto 1.1 is FE and nothing else.

Alto any day over zen and 800. Go for alto.

Alto 1.1 is anyday better over 800 :D

Infact, it was the fastest among all the A/B/B+ segment cars till it was in production... (barring Palio GTX ofcourse)

yeah the alto 1.1 is a very good car and i'll prefer it even better than wagonr
its also fully loaded with pr. steering Go for it man!!!

hey! nice one turbo_lover...

The Alto definitely whether its an 800 cc or a used 1.1 litre.

The alto is many times safer compared to the 800. Pls refrain from buying an 800 for UR WIFE!
I'm not condemning existing 800 owners, cos i love the 800 too. But, now u have a modern alternative to the 800. Its like comparing an aged grandfather (800) with a teenaged grandson (alto).

Pls, i dont want to start another "coffee-toffee" argument over here.

Alto 1.1 is faaast man something line 13s for 0-100.

Well it may not be that easy to get an Alto 1.1 in the market. But any day an Alto is better than an 800.

Can't agree more. Buy the 800 only if you can't afford anything else.
Try hunting around for the 1.1Alto. Great performance, and mileage is good too :)
