Though I bought a second hand 1989 model Maruti 800 about four years back, I am proud to be the most privileged owner. I am very happy with the car. Its trouble free vehicle if one maintains it regularly. I don't think of any other vehicle and if at all if I wish to buy a new car after few years, I prefer to go for a MARUTI.
Particularly, my wife and daughter love it.

1992 carburetor engine and the odometer reading 95,000 km.
No one would give a second thougth to the vehicle again,
that is if it was not a Maruti. Me; I still plan to carry on
with it for as long as it lasts [which I'm hoping will be
for another 1 Lac Km atleast ;) ]
I'm one guy who loves to go places and I prefer driving
down, even if the destination is thousands of kms away.
Good roads, smooth as silk and bad, rutty roads (as typical of
interiors of India), mountainous roads, desert roads
you name it ... my car's been through it. Deep in the
forests and lonely isolated places ... I've never once been let down by my car. Nor have I ever been apprehensive going to these places alone.
All it takes is a nice little servicing from the ever
friendly maruti Service Station and then you can be
well assured, you'll never be in trouble.
All said and done, in all my above mentioned trips
(none of which were actually less than 1500 kms at
a time), there is only one instance where the car
broke down. I was at a very interior place in
Karnataka. The remoteness of the place can be judged
by the fact that it was lunch time and we were not
finding a single place to eat. The shocker's leaf springs
(both broke one after the other). The absorbers were
still intact so I kept driving. Didn't have to drive for
long .. just 5 km from the breakdown place, even in this
god forsaken place .. there it was THE MARUTI SERVICE
STATION. Half an hour flat, everything was set right
(they even shared their lunch with us) and we were all
set to explore the mesmerizing interiors of India again.
Reminds me of the Maruti ad where the guys couldn't find
food, but were able to get a Maruti Service Station in the
far flung areas of Leh/Ladakh.
How Very True.
As for me, its thumbs up to Maruti .. every time .. all the time.
And NO I'm NOT a Maruti employee. I work in Bangalore for
a software firm.
