Tata Group Chief Ratan Tata told shareholders that the launch of the car would create a new paradigm in low-cost personal transport, carve out a new market segment and reach a broader base of the pyramid.

actually its really a suzuki and the 800 is a 3-cylinder unit while the alto (both sold in trinidad back in 96-00) has a 1000cc 4-cylinder unit. They are very fuel efficient cars but the new economy king in trini is the Chevrolet Spark.....which infact is a Daewoo.

Ah friend of mine had one of these Maruti 800....one day I saw her o the side of the road...car shutdown...went to take a look....she asked what was the problem...I said big problem....engine missing a cylinder

No end of problems with those cars even though they are re-badged Suzukis.

dem cars iz real problems!!! ah friend of mine had one, the clutch plate gave out on him and up to this moment he ketching he tail to get one.He tried to put in a march engine but it was too big! imagine that

^^^ march engine can fit (the 998cc march engine) has been done many times. As for reliability the car is not bad we had one for a few years and brought genuine cradles etc. direct from India. Not ours alone but a couple other Maruti 800 owners never had problems different much from other brands. 3 Cylinder very efficient on gas but if engine ever damaged getting another was trouble that's why the MA10 engine was used in some.... MA10 w/gearbox is a monster.

These are really economy cars and much cannot be expected from them though.

and there is a 3 cylinder turbo that is border-line suicidal in those cars

great solodex car here

anyone drives the Maruti Omni?
I drives one exactly similar to this one same color too.
