any1 driving a new alto now? please share your review on this car, thanks

Yea, i agree the "simply cannot stand a local brand name" as one of the reason. lol.

If Alto can come out 1300 CC engine is a definitely a hot competitor to other local car in M'sia

so by buying non-local cars u think the money doesnt go back to our gov? they r priced higher bcos tax being imposed by our gov. anyway they will still make money, support or not.

car makers dont really care about small market like msia. its our own businessmen that will bring it in hoping to make some profits. anyway thats how things r in msia. if not happy can move to other country where market is open. buck for a buck.

this car is for people who does not wants local brand, period

Proton's is the worst car always love to copycat people idea

hi. i wanna know this alto comes in what color? coz i saw a few mudah.my ads displaying this car in solid red color and silver too. but these colors are not in the brochure.

Only 6 colours available in Malaysia, i.e. Rose red, paradise blue, healing green, desert brown, artic white, midnight black. Other colours are currently not available.

better then local cars in terms of crash test..4star euro ncap....you will have a better chance of survival in this car...

my alto has just arrived, gonna sign agreement next next week

my sister hp just approved.. expected delivery by friday, ready stock.. if she waits for pink then will take months..

hmm thinking of weekend test drive

Anyone can update on fuel consumption for city driving..

i'm currently driving my sister alto.. she's a doctor so no time driving it ler.. hehe
the alto sure cute in everywhere summore when its in pink color, even the dashboard is cute with rpm meter like boost meter (which an additional for auto, manual dont hv it)
advantages
- very silent engine (eventho its 3 cylinder), even my mom's vios quite noisy compare to alto
- attractive design, cute i can say
- attractive price (lowest rm44k manual)
- hv low coefficient of drag, so at high speed i can feel it quite stable compare myvi/viva etc
- the door dosent have cheap sound like viva.. huhu (no offence to viva owners )
- hv good FC, full tank like rm60+ (ron97) can get 500km+ town driving mostly
- rm50k+ got bodykit for alto, mine is rm48k+
- 14' alloy sport rims
- mp3 player with auxiliary port (can use with mp3 player, ipod etc..)
- at night, light interior all in RED color ..
- good SC, really serve their customer really2 good

disadvantages
- small rear bonnet
- very low on pick-up, pick-up is definitely have to increase (at lowyat car park, when gonna go uphill with 4 men with many2 computer parts eg 2 set speakers, 2 lcd etc, at gear L really slow but still moving.. huhu)
- the gbx really fast at changing gear (maybe due want to save fuel), so for better pick-up for sure u need to downshift urself..
- manual adjustment side mirror even for high spec model
- the back-mirror dosent hv double-view (which if u feel so bright from rear car light, u can switch to another view that lower the brightness)
- power window only for at front, even at driver side only can control driver side only.. huhu (at australia suzuki website, there is optional acc for adding rear power window, if here got sure install it later on)

that's all my comment for 1 month driving it almost everyday (my wira gbx kong so lucky me can use my sister's car), overall its really a good car.. with good FC, cuteness factor (as main point), n unique design can attract a lot people especially GIRLS .. hehe

bad pick-up but good handling.Much more stable compare to cars in the same class like viva and myvi.Stable and good handling due to its heavy body.

just saw 1 white alto...looks good imho...shouldn't b a problem as city car

yup, city use for sure nice.. summore with really small turning radius.. white color with bodykit looks cool too

any 1 driving this alto?
may i know the fc & the resale value for it?

because i'm planning to tradein my myvi in getting this...
is it worth it or not?

tq..

fuel consumption is excellent, between 13-15 km/litre depending on type of use.

I got mine before CNY, completely satisfied with the driving experience.

hehe.. congrates bro..
wht color u chose? izzit with bodykit? manual or auto?

Got the green. No bodykit yet. Just did tinting today.

Wanted to get manual, but it lacked alot of other features compared to auto, especially the dash board RPM meter(coolest ever).
