Maruti Eeco - "My Family's Car" Buying and Ownership Review

[jayesh]

Need your suggestion on this type of steering..I plan to get one for my eeco

source FB.
BTW Which model does this belong to..
This one is already fitted in eeco...

How will the handling be?

Doesn't the steering look huge ? This steering comes in Swift, Ritz and Alto K10.

Instead if you need 3 spoke steering go for zen (old) 3 spoke steering wheel costs you 900 rs, looks much better than this.

Here are some pictures of my eeco taken during nathdwara trip.

Your car looks fabulous. Those crash guards are a spoilsport though.

This steering comes in Swift, Ritz and Alto K10.

I don’t think it belongs to Swift. New Maruti Alto 800 comes with a similar steering wheel.

Look carefully. There is a noticeable difference in designs of both the steering wheels.

True, the steering is indeed from Alto800. I have never seen this on older model, i may have missed though!

It's possible but not worth the hassle. You could instead consider aftermarket steering wheels (Momo?) if usability is the concern (http://www.theautomotiveindia.com/f...986-fitting-alto-k10-steering-alto-800-a.html).

Guess, some variants of Alto 800 are also equipped with a similar steering wheel.

i guess its the LX version that is coming with the k10's steering cause the Lxi version is having beige interior and wagon R type of steering with airbags

Confirmed it,

thats alto k10 steering wheel cost 1650/- fits directly does not require any modification.

thats a great news please post some pics after you install the steering as i want it in my alto too

Finally got this sun shades for my eeco..
got them for 349/- from snaldeal

Looks good, is it foldable ? I guess it stays in the place when the sun visors are holding it.

So what about getting the same for side glasses ?

varun sir,
Yes its foldable and you rightly said am using sunvisor , but they also provide plastic suction cups to hold these.
I have plan to get the black mesh ones ,as we can see through them, these are opaque you cant see through them but these are very effective.Lets see

Hi jayesh, Do use a cover also the small pieces of crackers may damage the paint finish.
