REVIEW : Good car for a beginners. Only problem is that when overloaded, its back will touch in the ground on the slope. In other case a good four wheeler in a low price.

REVIEW : Dear All, Just imagine a scenario like this, the roads in chennai are 70 % worst, the sturdy Maruti 800 on tough roads is poor, the engine bed starts vibrating, u feel like cramped and moreover the vehicle has low roof space, better go for Hyundai Santro that has only draw back of mileage diff in local about 2kms and for long 5 kms with AC both in local & long drive.

REVIEW : Well maruti is one of the premier cars of India and probably the first car which introduced the small car segment in india. As a economic car it is best for the people of india as it gives good mileage as well as runs good on road, easy to maintain also. But there are several defaults of this car also, that the body work of the car is not so good ...can easily get tampered if faced an accident, even the seats are very low, specially for tall people....moreover.......it can be said that it is a good start of learners and can be a 1st car for one who is switching to 4 wheelers. But I think the new segment of suzuki ie swift is a really good car and it also favourite not only among india and asia countries, but is presently a pottential competitor of european cars like renault, vauxhaull, nissan and many more.....good work suzuki.....
My dad have the 2006 version of swift and before that we have the 1995 800 exchanged with a 2000 one ..... maruti is still my favourite and a cute baby.........its easy to drive and most important that you can get a easy service station of that anywhere.........well just one comment that maruti udyoug should now think of changing the looks of 800 in the modern comititive matket as now the looks are really getting grumpy.............and is also becoming a mate of oldy ambassador whose looks and design has never changed since it came in market..........

REVIEW : Maruti 800 is no doubt a good car for Indian economic class but the company should provide the basic amenities for new car like number plate, mud guards , left side mirror , many other basic things (along with the car, free) which may hardly come around Rs 5000 all put together, because many times these accessories are given as offer or you have to pay depends on different dealers.

REVIEW : I think that Maruti 800 should improve with performance other foreign companies managed to make cars which can go fast and also carry more people. Well most of the people in India can afford such type of cars because they are cheap but it is not comfortable to travel from one town to another town are a city. Well some cars like hyundi accent can carry luggages and also take an advantage of 5 people. Some people can't afford more than one car so they have adjusted with one car. Small children who have to sit on a mother's or father's lap which makes the parents ride uncomfortable so we should think about creating a spaces car which can make people's ride comfortable. Well people can't wear seat belts because they have some one in their lap when an incident occurs the travelers get dangerously injured. Some travelers die because of the car crash or other accident. So i would like to say that the car is not comfortable to keep the luggages and sit with people and travel with them.

REVIEW : Maruti 800 is probably the car many of us have had our first drives and is probably regarded as one of the greatest cars in the Indian Automobile Revolution. This car cheap to buy, cheap to run, reliable and easy driving city car, but it is too old and outdated to be considered as a new car.
The 800 is cramped by modern standards. The seats are reasonably low seats, but 2-6 footers cant sit on behind the other. Interior plastics are probably appalling at this day and age, but then the price of the car is low. Boot space is ok for a shopping trip, but a bit problem is in case of long journeys. Noise levels in 800 are higher s in the 800 than the alto though it is still quite bearable.
Ride is bit bouncy and could definitely be better tuned. The suspension is build tough and can withstand most punishments from our roads with ease. Handling is quite good for a city car, with a small turning circle radius and small dimension, the 800 is probably the best city car drive around. The steering is also light and smooth in spite of not being power assisted.
E 800 is extremely frugal, and even with the ac on one can get 12-14 km pl in the city. It is a cheaper car to run and in this day of high fuel prices, it makes a lot of sense. The Maruti 800 is probably the one car that can be taken anywhere without problems. The body may start rattling down after 15000 kms but it will almost never let you down. It can run long and Maruti's service stations are almost everywhere. My experience with Maruti's service stations is fine. Also the cost of spares is low so this is a cheaper car to run and maintain.

REVIEW : I got my Maruti 800 in 2003. I settled for Maruti 800 because of its acceptability in the market and there is no other service network as good as that of Maruti. It is a very city friendly, pocket friendly 4 wheeler and you can almost manage within your small monthly petrol budget. No car major in the industry can come near its pricing and the service network for some more time. This is the best entry level car to start your motoring life.

REVIEW : I am lucky to own Maruti 800 DX with 5 speed gear which was discontinued by Maruti later. I still don't know why Maruti discontinued the 5 speed version of Maruti 800. for the last 4 years i have absolutely no problem with this model. On the city in Trivandrum it consistently gives 20+ mileage and on highway i got 23+. My advice to all is to drive consistently at 60 KMPH on the 5th gear to get the maximum mileage. Do not drive above 80KM as the car gets a bit unstable and wobbly. And more importantly this car does not have the best of the security features and brakes do not work well if you drive at higher speeds.

REVIEW : Owner of 800 cc-II, 5 gear, gives excellent mileage( city 20+ kms; highways: 25 kms). Good value for money. Maruti should have continue to manufacture these models. Braking system is bad, due to which it can't go beyond 100 kms/ hrs, applying sudden break is an issue. But overall it is a excellent vehicle for city driving.

REVIEW : Being the CMD of BHARTI group, I have many cars but this car is the one that is better than my Merc and Audi. In fact, I brought this car from the money collected from errenous billing of Air tel customers. Performance is superb and tyres are awesome, i even changed a tyre while going on a trip. Fuel efficiency is not so good , i always leave the fuel cap open but still the fuel docent spill out, i think BHARTI group should collaborate in automobiles now that i know so much about making such lovely reviews.

REVIEW : I purchased my first car, a Maruti 800 DX during 1999 September. Till today it is giving me a wonderful service, mileage and maintenance. I need to go once in 3 years to authorized dealer for service.
When it was new, it used to give 15 KMPL in Chennai city roads with AC on while on long highway drives it was giving 21 KMPL. Now after almost 70000 Km it gives around 12.5 to 13 KMPL with AC in Chennai roads. It was fitted with MRF radial tyres. I replaced the tyres only after running 70000 km. The only problem that one faces is with the leg space. I would recommend the 800 for any one who wants to go for a good car. |
