**cbe424** · February 9th, 2011 01:03 PM

Hello tsikoteers esp. mga Alto owners!

am considering buying an alto bec. i believe it is an fuel efficient small car and malaki ang matitipid namin ng misis ko sa fuel not to mention its current price. Japanese brand pa din naman sya unlike kung korean or others. maganda naman ang track record ng suzuki re manufacturing small vehicles db? those are some of the pros i believe. can you add more? or do you have negative comments to tell also? all info that will help me decide is greatly appreciated.

thank you.

good day sir. magbigay ako ng ilang pros and cons..

pros ;

1. fuel efficient, hindi na kailangan patunayan pa. after 5-15k km mas gaganda pa ang FC mo.

2. tag price is cheap but still a very reliable car. Suzuki Alto has been in the automotive industry since 70's-80's pa.

3. it's faster than what you think for it's .8l engine.

4. parts are cheap.

5. best for city driving, ok too in highway.

6. very good aircon

7. alto comes standard with Tripmeter, Heater (kahit hindi naman kailangan sa atin), headlight leveler, rear wiper/washer, rear windshield defogger

8. palit mags lang maporma na ang Alto.

9. any gasoline would do.

cons ;

1. suzuki brand, low resale value, so if you plan to get rid of it in within 5 years, lugi ka lang.

2. I only recommend Suzuki Caloocan and E. Rodriguez casa's. others have bad aftersales service.

3. it is a small car, legroom would be short. max passengers would be 4 adults.

4. underpowered kapag marami kang sakay obviously.

5. steel rims for Standard model, hubcaps naman sa Deluxe. aesthetics wise it is a con.

6. bullied on roads. may mentality ang ibang drivers na mas malaki sila mas magaling na sila kaya kapag hindi ka maunahan or ma-overtakean for example eh parang masisiraan na ng ulo.

7. mabilis umingay ang release bearing, very normal to all Alto owners. but aside from that wala na naman.

my personal experience, aside from those already said:

cons
- may tumutunog agad sa may steering rack ko, nung pinachk ko naman maayos lahat ng pangilalim ko, this is still for further investigation. hindi naman sya maingay lage, only on certain types of roads kaya bareable naman yung ingay.
- maingay yung release bearing ko. i have no idea why it is so pero tingin ko papaservisan ko lang to maayos din to. its only noise naman, walang effect sa performance nung kotse.
- its a small car so small parts din ang installed, meaning mas madali talaga masira kesa normal sized vehicles pero kaya naman to mapatagal ng tamang pagaalaga.
- agree with the being bullied part, wag ka lang papasindak at wag mo nalang sila pansinin.

pros
- most fun car i have ever driven, for some reason, maybe because its like a toy. its really fast for its small engine and the engine sound is something you'll never hear from other cars!
- madali isingit at mura maintenance.
- you dont have to worry about it being carnapped.
- bang for the buck!

Personally the Suzuki Celerio is more fun to drive than the Alto.

**tidus1203** · February 10th, 2011 09:47 PM

But the Celerio is the Alto hehehe

kung ito yung parang biglaang nahulog ang front right wheel mo (let us say gutter) while engaged in gears tapos may tumunog na TOG sound, it is just normal since naka-engage ang driveshaft natin. this was discussed by the members during Team Alto's ebs.

nope, different sound bro, di sya tog, parang kumakalog lang, para bang may maluwag sa may steering. usually naririnig ko sya sa mga mabato o rough surfaced roads
