Dual airbags are mandatory in the states, not ABS. EU is usually more leniant than the US.

Absolutly correct, Thats why we still have it for the front seats but the rear ones are of no use as hardly anyone sits at the back seat :-)

Btw Mee to Got my Alto Last month, heres a few pics :-)

Congratulations Technocrat...

The New Alto in that colour looks very attractive. How about posting some images of interiors.. i guess now they have Rotoray type AC switches..?...

Technocrat · 16th November 2005, 10:34

I also want to put the internally adjustable mirrors for the car but they are not available right now :(

Technocrat · 16th November 2005, 11:53

Thanks Abhibh :-) But cant give her to you :-)

Hey Ranendra and Technocrat , your alto's looks great. My best wishes for your new car. Do let us all know mileage of your car. My father was thinking about buying a car. I will suggest him this baby. He drives at moderates speeds in city only. Cheers.

also, some guy said 20-22 average without AC on in the city. It sounds unrealistic. Can anyone confirm this ?

koolsun216 · 16th November 2005, 13:29

hey thts a nice colour kedar congrats on the new set of wheels bro!

Technocrat · 16th November 2005, 14:11

I am getting around 15-16 kpl in city with a/c being rarely used & arnd 13 with 80% a/c on

It hasnt been to 1st service yet so i bleiev after 2nd service it should be somewhere around 18

abhibh · 16th November 2005, 16:28

Hey Max,

Alto is a nice choice for FE. It better than 800 and is overall a long runer. My bro got Alto Lxi which is just goign to dispose after he had a very bad accident. The car is consistently giving him 20 KMPL.

Though do check this thread for alto FE. Alot of people are sayin 18+.

Here is the pic of his car:
