Hybrids have the batteries that need to be made, carried around, then disposed of. Diesels cost more and emit particulates. Mini-cars get good economy while on flat ground in a city, but take them on a long trip or up a hill and you have to wring their neck. Didi you see on top gear when an M3 was more economical than a prius under hard acceleration? I think a diesel is the best real-world every day solution. Driving them up hills and at reasonable speed makes little difference to the consumption thanks to the low-rev torque.

With the said Govt rebates this car would also be under 10k AUD ... so please compare apples with apples ... Even if Dacia makes it to Australia ... without Govt rebates it'll probably be more expensive than the Alto. havent you heard all the Dacia Jokes on Top Gear UK??? Anyway I think I am going to get a lot of abuse for this comment ... coz its disputing something you think is correct... but so be it ... EA26 – The Alto is not made in Calcutta…

People who buy the Alto aren't going to be in the market for a Prius or Mini. It's not a case of a few more dollars, its a lot more. Let me see, sub $15K Vs $40K+? Get some perspective! Good work Suzuki - this car is built for city love. When did you drive one freak?

The Alto copped an absolute bagging, which didn't surprise me at all. For those looking for a cheap fuel miser, spend a few more dollars and buy something more reasonable than this rubbish Suzuki.
