Maruti Suzuki Alto K10

The ideal car for the crowded urban beat then, in rain or shine. We especially appreciate its effective air conditioning as temperatures in Pune have started spiking over the last month





Ever since we got the Alto K10 back in August of last year, it has served not just me, but also my colleagues exceptionally well. When we had to go for the Mumbai International Motor Show in January, four of us crammed into the little Alto and streaked down the expressway in almost record time for such a small car. 

The Alto also brought our Chief Designer, Shivaji's, new born son to Pune from his native town. And let's not forget how well it served Muntaser and me on our daily commutes to office every time he was in Pune, especially considering its easy-to-park nature in our cramped office lane. The ideal car for the crowded urban beat then, in rain or shine. We especially appreciate its effective air conditioning as temperatures in Pune have started spiking over the last month. While this little car suffers a bit in terms of its mileage, it has never put a foot wrong otherwise. There are the odd squeaks and rattles from the Alto K10, but overall, the car has coped to most conditions very well.
