Prody, FYI it's at One Auto Marketing Sdn Bhd at Lot 240, Jalan Ampang, 50450, KL.

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 drool.gif
- 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 notworthy.gif )
- 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 wub.gif ..
- good SC, really serve their customer really2 good

disadvantages sweat.gif
- 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 wink.gif .. hehe

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.

the 3 cylinder engine will vibrate like mad

its WAY better than the problematic Picanto though

for 3 cylinder its damn smooth engine.. even rev until 7k rpm still cant feel the engine vibration..

Dear all Suzuki Alto owner, I still 18-15 about buying this car. Can you guys pls gimme feedback on these following?

1. At 100-110km/h, does the engine feel noisy?
2. How much need to pay everytime you guys send it to service (suzuki garage)?
3. Anything missing that I should know compare to other regular proton car? (example: like above said " no temp gauge, only light that say when the temperature is hot")

Thx in advance, hope you guys can enlighted me biggrin.gif

1. nope.. its consider the most smooth engine for 3 cylinder engine, its starting to noise when reach 5k rpm.. but the most important thing is u must warm-up the engine around 5min at morning.. cruising at 110km/h is quite stable (due to its hard spring n absorber setup) in return Alto perform well in cornering

2. semi-synth oil rm80+ not sure, the 3rd time service rm80+ coz still no charge for labor, if there is a labor charge i hv asked b4 its rm40-50 if not mistaken..

3. no temp gauge is not an issue for new car.. vios also dont hv too what.. another thing is the tyre size, later if u need to change u need to change a bit bigger size tyre.. ori is 165/55/14 change to 175/55/14 CC5 rm160 per piece

I notice alto's value drop really quick. New alto (2013) is around 51k with insurance for auto. But 2011 Alto is RM 34000 only. This is for auto.

yup.. notice about it too.. my sister kinda regret buy it coz its not suitable with her spirited driving style, as for FC now it is not the most economical which mirage has already taken the crown from it.. even for safety also there is other car in same class has higher NCAP ratings..

so huge price drop is expected..
