This was my first car . I purchased it in dec 2009. It has not undergone any repairs, no engine issues. Its reliable. Recently its battery was unresponsive so had to change that, rest no other maintainance issues.
Hats off to maruti suzuki. Their engine is optimised. Alto gives an average of 19 kmpl, which doen't put load on my pockets. The ride is smooth. Its truly a common man's car
