I am currently driving a 2012 k10 with just 36,000 kms on the clock. It is my family's first car and we all learnt driving in it, but sadly it was just sitting in the parking for the last 10 years with only 22000 kms and original set of Bridgestone tyres that came with the car when new. Finally, 6 months ago, I decided to use this car as my daily driver, got it thoroughly serviced, all fluids changed, got the clutch assembly overhauled and put some new tyres on. I was immediately blown away as the car is practically new again. The peppy engine, low height and compact body really help both in city as well on the highways. I've named my car "The Nimbus" and I absolutely love it. Yes the cars these days are safer, more feature packed and more frugal, but this car just hits different.
7:17 if anything Maruti still does better than anyone else (in it's segments) is the mechanicals. The frugal engines, transmission and robust suspension setup.
Proud owner of the 1st gen Alto K10 since 2012 🤍 Its a pocket rocket and it looks better than every other Alto and K10 before and after. Only thing it lacks is for the power, it shouldve had better safety and a little wider tyre for the highway. Else its a delight in the city.
Driving itself is a SPORT. Alto ; all the generations and all the variants released right from its launch year are fantastic cars to have an enthusiastic ride...! The power in Alto is very much sufficient for Indian driving conditions. Excellent cars to drive and own.
the suzukis are suzukis, the little beasts... miss my Zen, K10, Wagon R, the power in the hand man!! Tata fanboys will never know it.. that era is gone
More basic the car, more easy to drive to its limits and that's what gives the pleasure to constantly touch the limit. We need a mix of unpredictability and control, that can be easily achieved by entry-level vehicles.
I agree. I still have a 18-year-old Alto 800 which has taken me on highways, hill roads, mud canyons with extraordinary times such as a regular Chennai-Bangalore run in 3h 40m.
I drive an old 4X 4 That....first gen, with stupid amount of torque....take on Skoda Rapid & others on take off....and the other is a beautiful old yellow Lancer sports ( 2001 model, & yet easily gets into 150+ kmph)but then decided to take an Alto K 10 to Manali...ofc, i wanted to drive the Thar...but my friend convinced me otherwise... Delhi to Manali takes about 11 hours...i was okay till we hit the climb & then suddenly realised how interesting is an Alto to drive....it was peppy in its own right.....had enough power to overtake on the mountain roads & a good feel & balance...yes, not comparing an Alto the turbo charged That or the road hugging Lancer, but , honestly, i had no complaints after really ripping an Alto for 23 hours+ of constant driving... definitely agree with you... Alto is fun... would i buy it? Maybe not... would i take her out on a long drive? Definitely yes.
Probably saw a very unbiased review on RUclips after eternity 😂 Some true words man! I'm still stuck dailying on my esteems for the sake of this "feel"!
Love the Maruti 800...always a dream to own one... And the Alto K10 old models is a beast in itself.... Maruti cars... Are cars that can be taken anywhere
Fantastic video! The OG Alto K10 is the spiritual successor to the OG Zen even though it's one segment below. What a fun car to drive. I had two of them and also the OG Zen. Great memories and times. I loved the new K10 too but I feel it's priced a little too high compared to what you can get for a little bit more. Like the Ignis. Still a cute car. But your K10 looks rad!
Certainly, Alto K10 is a pocket rocket. I have been using the 2nd generation K10 for the last 7 years & trust me every time I drive it, it puts a smile on my face. It's compact, it's nimble, it's frugal & it's powerful as well. On highways i have given many big cars and SUVs run for their money.
MY ALTO K10 BODY GETTING SOME ISSUE AFTER 10 YEARS IN 10 YEARS IT HAS NEVER HAPPENED ONCE THAT EK IGNITION ME CHALU NA HO SARDI ME BHI NEED TO REPLACE 4 SUSPENSIONS STEERING MOUNT AND ENGINE MOUNT IT WILL RUN FOR NEXT 10 YRS
i recently bought one. its from 2011 which has clocked only 36k on odo. but the car looks like it time travelled to 2023😂 its in pristine condition! its a silky silver vxi. maan those wheelspins are true! its a pocket rocket.all hail lord alto!❤🎉
@@arvindmeena6782 for a k10 in mint condition having less than 40k kilometers, the dealers quoted upwards of 2.30 lakhs. I got it for 1.94 from an individual.
Simply love my 22 yrs old Alto 1.1 VXI. Used to race with Volvo and Mercedes Actros buses on NH2 back in those days when the speeds were not restricted. Top Speed achieved around 160kmph on speedo. The all aluminum 4 cylinder 16valve engine was a gem.
Nice advertorial. Better than watching a tv commercial. It isnt that fun that you would pay 7 lacs for a entry level car and the safety is top notch bad 😅.
True! The moment I sit under the steering wheel of our old Santro Xing, I immediately feel like Vin Diesel and go bonkers😂😂😂. And the main recipe for making these cars fun is the not-over-the-top accessible power which is safe for you as well as others on the road.
we have an alto k10 which a model year 2010 make. Its so freaking reliable if taken good care of. Im seeing forward to owning it once I buy my dad a new car
Agree, the K10 has a better engine and AC. The Zen has better dynamics and probably better suspension too from what I rem. Both are good but the K10 is 10 years younger.
If maruti relaunches this alto k10 with some extra upgrades on handling and stuff, iam telling you, it's going to sell like hot cakes. People really hate the design of modern round far cars.
@Imtiyaz5power this model has 0 stars due to missing airbags, abs and ebd but the rear occupants have scored 3 stars and those 3 stars have more points than the gen 1 nexon If it had the mandatory safety features for ncap 3 or 4 stars were an easy score.
Not everyone will ask - kitna deti hai? There are people who want to buy their first car and expect it to be slightly safe as well. I personally feel the tyres could have been little wider and they could have used a strong body structure at the same (increased) price or for little more money..
i was absolutely wanting this kind of video from pd. i have alto lx bought in 2002 and still run it and sometimes it becomes a sports car for me, i do launch and drifts often. nothing is modified from the mechanical pars or from outside, but ive installed lights worth 10k and a 10" display with the rare cam and red and black sporty looking sports car. its been 21+ years and i still love that car im driving the car from 2018 and just love the feel of it. thank you pd for making such video❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
What a brilliant review! No kidding. Up until now Top Gear's Lamborghini Aventador review (by Richard Hammond) was my most replayed car review. This surpasses it! It doesn't have to be the best Car, but for some reason some reviews get itched in your mind.
proud owner of a 2017 K10. Love my car, the engine, the looks, the width of the tyres.. everything. Not a fan of the looks of the new one, certainly not the thin tyres taken from 800. It looks roomier in the second row, though.
I had that Version 1 K10 in VXi form. Was gem of a car. That small car with a heart that can pull a bit bigger cars (A-Star, Estilo, WagonR and Celerio) was a fantastic cute little powerhouse. Complimented by the low stance, it had quite a grip on the road. Dump the clutch at 4k revs and the driver used to be pushed into the seat, not like a Lambo or Ferrari, but enough to put a smile on the face.
I would love to have fun driving small cars like this... if I could fit in them. I have a diesel Amaze (gen 1) I bought used. Love driving it for the sheer corner speed it carries with a simple tire upsize. Add the fact that it actually fits 4 people of my size (6'1", 220 lbs, around 100 kilos, I think) and I genuinely enjoy getting in, out and sitting in the car.
It is like a small baby on steroids, we did Urse toll plaza to Khalapur toll plaza on Mumbai pune expressway in dot 30mins in 2019.. What a machine ❤️🔥
I owned a new alto K10 and i think it's weight is lighter than the old one. Especially when you're going 100 plus km/l on a highway, and the vehicle starts shaking
Power drift indeed. Bhava was so happy and yes we need this type of cars. Like zen lancer sytem old honda city. Fun machine not like the plastic cars that we get now a days. That why like the JDM culture were every one have fun.
What is your opinion about the Hyundai Eon? More specifically the 800cc one? Im curious to know how it compares against the Alto. Asking this because it was my first car, and today I own a Thar but I have no intention of selling the Eon. In fact I have plans to accessorize the car, with touchscreen, roof carrier, paint job, etc. (Suggestions are welcome 😊 )
How many of you like the old design of Alto K10 🤔 ??
Way better than the current one, I love the first generation too
The current model looks sooo happy,meanwhile the og looks mean and furious
i have one.. normal alto...
Proud owner my old gen k10
The old design is precious❤ other design cant be better then the old one

Old K10 Alto had the best face ever! Looked sporty, slight retro and proper successor to Zen. New ones just look snazzy and accessory bags

New WagonR is horrible to drive
He is saying about older models
What about celerio ags ?? Is it fun to drive ?? Not new one
The old K10 is awesome. But the new one looks so crappy. In fact I mistook it to be Santro.
Maruthi need to work on the design
12 years and still can't think of leaving it. 😍 Never let me down even a single day. Over 2L kms and no parts replaced.

No design can beat the Old Alto k10
K10 is like a young kid who has learnt to run. He runs with all the excitement
I hope your mum doesn’t see this 😂

after that we will see a chase between bhava blue Alto and mom chasing him from behind in her Alto 😂

WARNING ⚠ Don't try this in your Wagon R.😅😂
Omg 😂😂😂 why I've one
the original 1 st gen alto was very good at that time, still running strong in many houseolds

The older Alto looks meaner than the new one 👍
Cyrus when u reviewed the new Alto this is why I said u guys have to ask more from the manufacturers.
The old Alto looks and works better
Is the suspension bit more plush in the new one?
Old Alto is super cool and fun.

The new one has the soul but not the face..hence it is hidden somewhere in the dust on the sales chart..
Salute to you brother!!..🫡 only Alto owners know the true feeling of driving an Alto
Get this as many likes so that Cyrus can show his garage collection including the story behind it
New K-10 is good for mileage and refreshing looks. I like all Alto's, belonging to any generations.
You just made thousands of Alto owner proud of themselves

nobody can make videos like powerdrift
Non makes over square (high revving) petrol motors like Japanese !, they are just like another Japanese motorcycles, but with 4 wheel. Meant for fun !
Light weight and punchy engine! Always does the trick!

Old one lookz so better thn new design
we have an alto k10 which a model year 2010 make. Its so freaking reliable if taken good care of. Im seeing forward to owning it once I buy my dad a new car
I feel your energy bro. I'm gonna buy my dad an Exeter Carens or Elevate and take his 2009 i10 😂
It's in super impeccable condition :)
I prefer the 2001-2002 Maruti Zen.
At 750kg kerb weight, it was light and very agile.
Some Tire, suspension and engine upgrades went a long way.
Buddy the k10 engine is a thing of beauty though . Try it .

I am owning Alto Lx from the year 2011. But the A.C is not working from the ddate of purchase. Other wise this is best car for self driving.
Sir change the gas charge it will work.
It won't cost more than 1000 rupees
It's a common problem in pre 2012 cars.
You don't need money to have fun? Well, you need it to buy this 🤷

Really you have nice driving skills .. i really appreciate that ... 🤘🤘🤘

Yes, drove the old K10 from Pune to sinhagad fort. Loved the power to weight ratio and thr handling. But I don't agree with those alloys on yours😂
Damn I remember that time a senior lent me his K10 back in 2017 for college work and I had the time of my life revving that eager engine to redline!
