i bought my alto a few months back. I used to own a M800 before. wanted to buy a XING or Xeta but ended up buying the Alto LXi. well the Xeta is available for Around 3.5 lakhs but I have observed that Indica is a great car with the diesel engine. the indica also starts loosing its fiishing and paint starts fading verry soon. plus the vibrations and the regular visits to the garage for maintenance is another issue.
the Xing is a great car but it is not so fuel efficient as maruti Alto or Zen. plus it is about 1 to 1.5 lakh more priced than the Xeta and the Alto LXi. the Xing offers similiar space inside the car except that it has a higher seat which maked the driving pleasurable.
the New Alto LXi is an amazing car. for 3.42 Lakhs on road, it has beautiful shape, finish, Power steering, A/c, new clear head lamps, MPFi engine that gives u 14 KMPL with A/c in city and about 20 KMPL on highways.
plus the Maruti advantage of great resale value and better space inside as compared to the M800. the A/c is verry good with the new rotary dials controls that we get to see in more expensive cars. the car is a complete value for money.
the display and speedometer is great too with digital sppedometer.
so go get one for ur self and Spin the new Alto LXi.

well its been about 9 months since I bought my Alto. and I completed my 2nd service last week. well the vehicle performance has improved and I have just clocked 6000 kms. the vehicle is smoother, improved mileage and the response of the engine is even better. the alto is better than the zing in respect to the fact that it offers better mileage and also that there are far more maruti service centeres as compare to the hyundai. plus the cost of xing is 80,000 to a lakh higher than the alto.
the xing gives better pick-up as compared to the alto and there is an extre xing in the xing as compared to the alto or even the zen. the refinement of xing is also far better than the zen and alto. however the indica petrol is good with space especialy the xeta.
however, I would recommend a strong buy for Alto for those who want a compact car which is the best for mileage in its class. the best about alto is that it offers the MPFi engine with great finish and comfort that is possible in a small car with an advantage of great mileage.
so people those who are looking for similiar requirements I would recommend a strong buy for alto.
happy new year to all the readers!!!
