Guys, a quick question. I have a K10 that just turned a year old, last month. Of late I've been noticing that the gears do not exactly slot into position (mainly 3rd gear). It surely does not feel as precise as how it was a couple of months ago. Has anyone else faced a similar issue and if yes, how did you get it rectified?

PS: I did take it to the service centre to get it checked, but they informed me that there was no problem.

Guys, need some validation. :-)

What do you think of the price tag of 3.79 lacs (on-road) for Alto K10 VXi in Kolkata?
Includes (apart from mandatory stuff like insurance, taxations, registration etc):
1. Exchange bonus = 20000
2. Corporate discount + MSIL discount = 24000
3. Accessories (Mudflap + Car care kit + Idol (he he) + Foot-mat etc) ~ 1800
4. Incidental charges = 2350
5. Handling charges = 3500

Is it a deal to go ahead with? Awaiting your inputs.

Regards,
Supratik

Seems to be on the higher side, as my K10 cost 3.5L in 2010 in Delhi with no discounts and no accessories.

I spent 5K on exchange of Michelin XM2 and 8K on the stereo. Considering that the road taxes are much more in Kolkata than in Delhi, the 3.79L is quite high.

Thanks Aroy,

Well I made a mistake in the inclusions. Actually it is 3.59 lacs. I forgot to account for the exchange bonus.

Does this sound about right, now?

you are getting a discount of 20K+24K = 48K, so the price is now around 3.56-.48=3.08L. If you add insurance and road tax ~ 30k here you should get the K10 for 3.4L max, so 3.59 is still high. In my case the ex-showroom was around 3.35 and on the road 3.55.

Please verify the price breakup of the dealer. there is some thing wrong in the OTR price you are being offered.

. Normal city driving with AC, where you occasionally hit 60+ : 14-15
. Heavy traffic with AC : 12
. Extremely short distances (1/2-1km at a time) : 8-10

In short the FE is slightly better than similar cars, but nothing great. What is spectacular is the acceleration and the general drivability to the extent that you can be way ahead of the others in a red light sprint.

Hi. I've had the Alto k10 since a week. It's the perfect vehicle for me. Adequate power, very smooth and small enough to zip through. It doesn't handle pot holes well but that doesn't bother me much. I'm able to squeeze out 14.5kmpl from driving in heavy traffic with AC running. It'll hopefully improve post first service.

Help please. How do I work the front fog lamps ? Where is the switch for it ?

Any suggestions for a good semi synthetic engine oil for 1.0L Kseries engine?

The foglight switch is the inside lever on the stalk from where you operate the headlights. congrats on the new car.
