Why is the Suzuki Alto so cheap?
Is the Suzuki Alto a good purchase? A local dealer is selling the entry model at £5995. The MPG figures and insurance grouping appear low, is it all too good to be true?

This and the Nissan Pixo are often on offer for £5995. They are cheap little Indian built cars going cheap. Fair enough. Road test and video here: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/suzuki/suzuki-alto.../

Cheap to buy new, low CO2 emissions and high economy mean it's cheap to run. Available with an automatic gearbox. Nicer seats than near identical Suzuki Alto.

Cute little small hatch clone offering low emissions, low tax, good fuel economy and a proper 4-speed automatic option. Decent to drive.
