Q. In Alto 800, which variant is powerful with AC or without AC
  • All have powerful a/c ..depends on using it.cabin is small so more cooling.don't put fan all the time .set between 2 and 3 if it is hot inside. zzdown mirrors a little bit so that warm sir goes out.Then you can maintain it on 1 and 2.Use blower fan if it's too humid.Smart adjustment of vents is another trick.try to park the car in shades. Refill ac .,regular check up during services makes it better.
  • Take a/c because in A/c car while designing some rotational balance to counter the act of comppressor.it increase some benefit in torque. And in re-sale value also it experience.
  • I keep going with AC in1 position. We can feel the cool in no time. I tried for long run at a speed of 100 km. Very comfortable. I am regular in servicing the car.

    Good Car 

    I've driven this car, and it's impressive. It boasts excellent pickup, a lovely AC, smooth power steering, and a well-balanced ride, thanks to its perfect suspension. Plus, it offers top mileage in its entry-level segment.

    Good Car 

    I have wegonr vxi model and i am satisfied with it.The only problem i got here is the ac cooling, It is not1upto the mark.In summer, It will help for driver and co driver but not good for other members.As the throw is1not efficiedt.I like the seat height and my father also like this thing specially bumper to bumper traffic, It1helps a lot us.Although it is not suitable to use this car for a long drive like about 300-400km as the ride1quality is only suitable for small distance or within the city.The mileage is good enough even after many1years uses.Clutch is good not hard so your leg will not fell pain during city ride.Vibration are not1noticable.Now the maine problem is build quality, Because it has no official safety rating, This is the1drawback for this family car.As i said it is suitable for short distance, So it is not a big thing.But if you1are a rush driver then think a second before buy.If your budget is aroud 6-7lacs then you can try this car for15 member family.
