loads of these Alto's driving in The Netherlands, populair with young people

Man, a 550cc Alto Works was probably the funnest car I've ever owned. I had a 1989 RSR. Ended up bending the frame after failing to properly negotiate a S turn. The 550cc Alto Works are worth a small fortune nowadays though. They're near impossible to find in Japan. Whoever bought this car got really lucky.

We have tons of these in India, owing to a long standing JV between Suzuki and Maruti (an Indian manufacturer), ours weren't turbos, but a 3 cylinder, 796cc engine was standard. I have an Omni, the Indian version of the Suzuki Super Carry. Same powerplant, and since mine is a 1994 model, the engine was a full import from Japan. 20+ years on and 200,000 kms never had its Engine opened up. Curious to see what this car becomes :)

I will always have a soft spot for Kei cars! Just the "packaging" of everything is amazing, specially the engine and some of the commodities. Looking forward to a review of this. :)

Oooooh boy that red Nova. Looking good. Lot of classic cars in that garage.

I had a 2013 Suzuki Alto until I was in an accident and it got written off and it was after that when my family told me they'd be scared for me going on long road trips 😬

This car has inspired me. It gives me reasons to live. So small. So cute. So turbo. So complicated.

Why do you make perfect car videos? This is exactly what I do whenever I sit in a new car. The entire time I was expecting something to break off.

good ole PS2 Gran Turismo days

These are such badass little cars! I at one point looked into getting an alto works awd one that was being sold in Pennsylvania.

The "No sir..." line reminds me that I refer to gentlemen I don't know as sir now since starting watching RCR, and I'm happy for that :D

his operation is so legit. look at how clean that shop is.

Wow guys, thanks for taking me back to my glory days of Gran Turismo 2.

I want one, this is the funniest car I have seen in a while. But there is something about it that makes me really really want it.

This (regular version) was my dads first car, I remember going on a ton of roadtrips in it - it can fit so much luggage its mindbending. He still only buys Suzukis.

I used to have an alto back in my home country and they're quite entertaining things!

Jolly impressed to see one of these on US soil - let alone a turbocharged version. Looks like great fun to drive.

These things are still running with new generations in India and Japan.

This car looks SO FUN!

The Japanese love their boxy little cars and I do too. I never thought I'd say it, but I love the 1st gen Scion xB. I was dreading purchasing it, but it met my budget and my needs. As I laid in bed the night before I sealed the deal, I had an epiphany: the xB is actually the perfect car. It is cheap so it doesn't have extra gizmos adding to it's mass or to distract from the driving experience. It is a box so it holds several people, things, or thing-people (?) comfortably. It has a stiff suspension, is low to the ground and a manual so I can scream at the canyon in my new town "I came here to drive this car for all it's worth and chew bubblegum". And that's exactly what I do.

You should visit Malta. The amount of cars and diversity we have is astounding for a 120 squared mile island. You can find anything from tiny Altos, Capuccinos, Justies to big American cars and GTR's to heavily modified cars. You'd enjoy it.

Can't wait for you guys to review this.

It's so small and cute, I want to hug it!

What an adorable little car I really want one now...

Love these little cars!

Bruce must have a great sense of humor and the patience of a saint. I don't know that I could let you loose in my shop. No offence.

I have a generation after this, an 89 Alto Works RS/X. Currently torn down in the garage, when it's going I'd LOVE to have it reviewed should RCR ever be in the Midwest!

These are still on sale in India for anyone interested, fun lil cars you can toss around.

I first found out about the Suzuki Alto from Gran Turismo 2 loved that car ever since

Thats a sick little econobox. I want two.

This car (yup this particular one) is called the "Maruti Suzuki 800" in India and it changed the Indian automotive industry. This was the most popular car for years. I have a slighter newer model (interiors are the same with slightly more modern exteriors than the one shown in the video). It is 17 years old. It is a 5 door hatchback, with a 6 valve 3 cylinder carbureted 800cc petrol engine. It only has 37 hp but certainly feels like it has more than 37 hp anyday, due to the power delivery nature I guess. Moreover, it also handles pretty well. I just love it.

The Alto Works is the AWD variety. And I love it.

damn, that car is really loveable somehow. its so beatifully spartanic and simple and fun :)

My friend owns an Alto, a newer one however. It was fun to drive I guess, learned to drive on it. Blew the clutch up but still fun!

My sister drives a 1991 Suzuki Alto, which she bought in 2021. It's now her everyday car, driving it to the office, to COSTCO, to our vacation home in Hawkes Bay, etc.

I hope you get to review this. It's awesome!

oh man ill be super happy if you review this!

So. Much. Want! I need one of these in my life so bad! The most awesome commuter vehicle! Feel like an absolute hooligan just driving to work! (While still within the boundaries of the law.)

Drove an alto works a few years back. Fun car.

That telescopic thing on the side is a seat height adjustment. My '99 Outback had one.

What a cool little car!

It's about the size of a NES? Nice comparison!

Stateside, those came in '88 as the Chevy Sprint.. A replacement for the aging, yet durable, T-car platform. (

I laughed when you referenced GT1. The Demio, lol I remember that car.

That car was sold here as a Chevy Sprint and later became a Geo Metro. I had an 86 Sprint without the turbo. As slow as it sounds, with the a/c on it wouldn't maintain highway speeds. But it did get 49 mpg. The three cylinder would vibrate so bad it eventually walked out the bell housing bolts and the engine freed itself from the transmission.

As soon as he said oh hazards work I'm thinking... Good you'll need those the whole time your driving this thing!

The turbo AWD works model is the one to get. Ridiculousy fun to drive, also excellent for tightening ones ring at >100Kph....

The alto works is the sporty version of the alto and are still pretty popular in Japan. When importing these kei cars you might as well import from 1990 (I think) models onwards after they raised the displacement from 550 to 660cc.

My favourite kei cars · Subaru Vivio RXR = a rallycar, like a minuscule version of an Imprezza 22B. It raced the Safari Rally a couple of times and, yes, McRae drove it. It must be awesome to even see one! · Daihatsu Copen Mk1 = cabrio-coupe, I feel like it must be extremely fun going down a mountain pass · Suzuki Jimmy or Mitsubishi Pajero Mini = offroad kei car... that must be so much fun to drive!!!

One of my favorite cars!

547cc of kei goodness, looks like a works edition too. . Usually on Japanese built 3 door cars only the passenger seat will side forward when the back is tilted to let people into the back.

We have these things in Europe too (in LHD!), fantastic little machines

Mr Regular is going to have a field day in the UK. City Cars ("Micro Cars") are super common here, and the Alto has only just been phased out. Also, fog lights are on the back. All cars outside the USA have them as standard equipment by law.

It's the same as a Maruti 800. We've had those Altos in Europe as well, so there are left hand drive versions. But I don't remember them being turbocharged, this is probably due to the kei car rule in Japan, where the engine must have less than 600cm³ displacement or something like that.

I had an 87 turbo Sprint until 2010. I sold it double what I paid used for it in 1992. That 3 cylinder had a ton of guts. Reliable. Fast. Fun. 155 tires worked alright even though there was torque steer galore. Mine was a 993CC. What is this? Mine was 70 HP.
