My first car........Maruti 800

There was a time when holding a car was true luxury but in 1990 when the Maruti Suzuki came to India, the luxury changed into necessity.

Still remember my first cream coloured Maruti 800 driving softly on Lucknow roads.

The roads then were not so conjusted and it was an experience riding a car equipped with Japanese technology unheard at that time.
Whole family used to go to parks and cinemas. Full family car, easy to drive and maintenance free......

Soon the company became apple of an eye for every household and even Indian Government pushing the sales with easy bank loans.

Maruti became a household name in India, car of a middle class household.

It was a matter of pride to own one in that era.
Small, compact and easy to drive and maintain.

It outclassed each and every single car of that era mainly Ambassador and Fiat.
We still own thirty year old Maruti 800 as a momentous in our garage which reminds of good old day's .

Whenever we get a chance still we take it out for a ride as it is easy to maintain it.
