You are here means you are trying to find out a good car for yourself and you considering Alto as an option by instinct or by suggestion and review. Me also read a lot of review here and there after purchase Alto K 10 Vxi. . I write a bad review here about Rediff.com online shopping so I think as a good person I have to write the good review also for the products from which I am completely satisfied. So here the one :-
I purchased it on 10 December 2011. So complete one year and 8 months almost successfully with 17000 km. As per my pocket or job I can go easily up to 6 lacs rupees car but I restrict myself on 3.5 lacs Alto K 10 vxi. I read a review here in which a gentleman suggests that you have to go for the value for the money with your requirement. I think a person’s requirement can easily satisfied with this car's features. you check the feature and think about your requirement. Yes it is meeting completely someone’s requirement. Plus the cost is so good to not a burden on your pocket as EMI. Small EMI means you have a lot of money for fuel and partying. Of course I am 32 year old and like to drive, go out on drive and with family and friends. But I never ask about fuel. Please look the below incidents:-
One my friend own 6 lacs car and not able to use it because of fuel price and burden of EMI. He likes to go out and but..... He drives his car in three years only 28000 km. He earns 75000 per month but look his condition. He said that his car is drinking his blood.
one my friend own WagonR. Salary is lower than me but go for higher one car than me. He is also struggling for EMI and fuels. He run his car in 8 months only 4500 km. he always said about fuel. He said an occasion that we will there from your car Alto because it have good music system. We are paying same EMI but I paid 75000 as down payment and he paid 1.5 lacs. So a lot of money gone and less saving.
One of my friends suggests me the diesel car. I not consider it. REASONS:- A. I have to invest on and average 2 lacs rupees more (make average with BEAT, RITZ and FIGO). Means I have to pay 4500 rupees more as an EMI. Please look my average running. I am running my car with petrol from that EMI cost 4500 rupees. And there is surplus money I have in my pocket for Diesel cost.
B. There are a lot of debates about diesel cars maintenance. Some says it is low maintenance now and some talk about high maintenance and starting problem in morning and in winter. So look friends we are here to buy a new good car, not for proving that diesel cars are good.
- One my friend purchase Swift Diesel in 6.40 lacs of rupees. Good car. But look his driving. Run 7000 km in 6 months. He is also making excuses to not t o drive the car i.e. I am tired, car not require for one person. His run is around 2000 km per month. But he is driving only 1300 to 1400 km per month. His salary is same as mine. Still he have to recover 3 lacs rupees. His emi is Heavy on him and he is saving money from not to drive diesel car even.
If we are analyze all above example what will be the results. According to me:-
Car is means of transport. Please not use it as a show off thing. If you will go for show off, there may be regret for EMI and fuel in future. Because after some time the car will be car for you. You will look it as means of transport not the show off thing.
If you run more than 2000 km per month than go for diesel. Consider it a vehicle than. Use it. Not like friend of mine who purchase diesel car and using bus for transport.
A person spends on and average 40 minutes in his car in a day. So spend that less amount on the car. Please not spend too much so the peace of 23 hours and 20 minutes will be gone for thinking always about emi and fuel. Relax with your family and let the enjoy the car with your friends because your car have most important thing - FUEL.
Think about a SOME scene -
SCENE 1:- Your friend come to your home. He praise about your furniture, LCD, decoration, carpet and crockery. You feel very proud but there is no tea in your house so you were not able to offer him the tea. He went without drinking a tea. HOW HE WILL FEEL? IS THERE ANY USE OF YOUR HOME'S LUXURY? WHAT HE WILL TALK ABOUT WITH FRIENDS YOUR LUXURY HOME OR NOT TO OFFER HIM TEA? CAR IS CAR. USE IT WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY, NOT TO ONLY SHOW THEM AND LOCK THE KEY BECAUSE OF FUEL. FRIENDS AND FAMILY ARE IMPORTANT NOT THE SCRAP.
SCENE 2:- You got everything in style to cook the food. Costly - costly utensils and crockery. BUT NOT THE FOOD. Any use of your 20000 rupees crockery. IF Car not have the fuel what use of features.
Scene 3 :- You saw some people struggling in the middle of the road because there precious car got scratch from a poor bike or another car. They quarrel like animals. Guys we are gentlemen. Not the animal. We have to accept the incident as misfortune with grace. Purchase a car which maintenance you can bear. And forget about to fight on the road. WE ARE GENTLEMAN.
Reality : - I got a lot of scratches on my car but they are not bothering me and my friends costly car little scratches are much bothering him still he is using less.
Saddest thing : One of my good friend bought Swift Dzire petrol from his saving not on EMI. He told me he is going his home ( 100 km) by bike. I asked why is he not using his swift desire. He told it will cost 1000 rupees petrol for him. Unfortunately he died in bike accident on his way. I lost a beautiful friend. he married only 5 months before. Swift dzire is safe at his home.
What is the meaning of show off and big car if someone lost his life for the fuel saving. I am still thinking he will be with me today if he used his car.
Conclusion - Guys go for any car which you can bear. Not the car for show off and get regret like my friends. Enjoy the car with friends and family. Save money for fuel. Fuel is the most luxury now a days.When everybody see the full tank your car, they will really impress. And much more when you use your car with them. Safety is biggest thing. Enjoy the car not the car make. I do not want to loose more friends.
P.S. - Please rate my review so I can motivate and write more review for good people.
THANKS A LOT
