Bought new Alto a month back in Grayphite Gray colour,
Was very unimpressed with it,
1) Cold start impossible without choke
2) Low milage on CNG (60-70Km/tank)
3) Low milage on Petrol (1,500RS/160KM)
4) Low pick
5) Very very low pick when A/C turned on, car turned into turtle.
6) Very hard to steer (hard steering)
7) Engine noise was there and when the A/C turned on it was a lot (but normal I think for alto)
I thought to my self this is the biggest mistake of my life to buy this car.
Then, after I got its Eng oil changed to Shell HX-7 and gear oil to ZIC and got the entire eng bay washed and then air dried and then putting WD40 on it and getting the CNG tank empty (by running the car) and then filling it with 220bar CNG @ 460RS, i was suprised that after 1.5 days of doing all this, on this sunday when i started the car here is what I noticed.
1) Cold start on 1-2 attempts
2) Milage on CNG when the tank finished was 125KM (could have gone till 130KM I am sure coz when I got the cng filled from the same station again at 220bars it got 440rs cng instead of 460rs.
3) Did not check the milage on petrol yet
4) Pick was as if its on petrol, on sunday when I drove the car for the first few min I thought I was on petrol.
5) Did not feel any diffrence in eng performace when the A/C was turned on (maybe 5-10% diffrence)
6) Same as above hard to steer I will get power steering soon for that
7) no engine noise when idling and very minimal noise when running almost no noise. On A/C the same hard noise but that to was very low now.
I am now happy with my car and think I made a good decision.
