It’s without a doubt brand loyalty. People just default to Maruti because it has been around forever and they don’t really look at other options. It's the "safe" choice.

Nah, it's all about value. What other new car can you get with that kind of reliability and fuel efficiency for that price? People aren't dumb, they know a good deal when they see one.

I think it's a bit of both. People come in the door because of the brand name, but they keep coming back because of what the car is worth. Without the cars delivering, Maruti wouldn't have maintained that loyalty.

To be honest, it’s about the resale value. When they want to upgrade, people know they can easily sell their Alto. That’s a huge factor in India.

It’s more about the dealership and service network. The only option with reliable service in smaller towns is Maruti. Sometimes, the car matters less than that.

I’d put it down to inertia rather than loyalty. People buy Altos because that’s all they know. That's a habit other brands have to work harder to break.

It’s popular because it’s a known quantity. When you have so many options, sometimes people just want something familiar and predictable.

It’s about the whole ownership experience. The purchase price, running costs and peace of mind have been nailed by Maruti. Even if other cars might be better on paper, that’s hard to beat.
Is the Alto K10 the 'mountain goat' of Indian roads?
30 December 2024 07:09
Absolutely! I’ve put the K10 through some daft mountain passes and the car fits it like it was made for it. Light weight and nippy engine make it easy to turn hairpin turns.

It’s good, but we’re not going to get ahead of ourselves. In most cases, any decent driver can make it through mountain roads in most cars. In such a small car, you are closer to the edge, and it just feels more dramatic.

Mountain goat? More like mountain mouse. But take it on a real off road trail and you won't get very far. It’s good for paved mountain roads and nothing more.

I would say it deserves its reputation. The simplicity of the K10 is its strength. There’s no fancy electronics to fail, and it’s easy to repair should something go wrong. They are perfect for those remote mountain areas.

It all comes down to power to weight. But the K10 doesn't have massive horsepower, and it doesn't need it, because it's so light. That’s why it feels so sprightly on mountain roads.

K10s have taken on roads that would make a bigger SUV struggle. This is not just a car thing, by the way, it's a little machine that is capable and driven by skilled, confident drivers.

30 December 2024 07:09
Let’s be real, it’s not even a ‘mountain goat’; it’s just good marketing. It's not some off road beast, it's a city car that can do some hills. We need to manage our expectations.
Is the Alto K10 good enough to leave stock or is it worth it to try and modify it for better performance?
30 December 2024 07:09
Absolutely worth modding! With a simple ECU remap, the K10's engine can be woken up and it's a proper pocket rocket. That little motor has so much potential in it.
Is the Alto K10 good enough to leave stock or is it worth it to try and modify it for better performance?
30 December 2024 07:09
Nah, leave it stock. As it is, the K10 is perfect for its purpose. Mods just mess with the fuel efficiency and reliability, two things people buy this car for.

Mild mods are the way to go. You don’t have to go overboard to improve the driving experience, a good set of tires and maybe a sportier exhaust would do. There’s a fine line to toe.

Modding a K10 is equivalent to putting racing stripes on a tortoise. It's going to be slow, just louder and less reliable. If you want performance, spend that money on a better car.

It depends on your goals. If you like the tuning scene and like the tuning process, go for it. It won't turn into a sports car though. It’s not so much about the performance gains, but more about personalization.
