Maruti 800 - Peoples Car of India | Gone But Not Forgotten - Episode 4 | 2021 | evo India

Maruti SS 80, SB 308 and the 5 speed, we have driven all three generations of the Maruti 800 for part 4 of Gone But Not Forgotten with HPCL. After the Ambassador and Padmini, the Maruti 800 was sold for the longest period in India. It was India’s best selling car for decades. It was the car that put India on wheels. And it made Maruti Suzuki India’s biggest and most popular car manufacturer. Take a trip down memory lane with India’s people car and tell us in the comments what your Maruti 800 memories are.

PLEASE CAN YOU MAKE A VIDEO ON ESTEEM PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!°°

[@saranraparthy]

Our first family “Ac” maruti 800 when I was in my 7th standard in the year 2000. I used to admire the car daily looking at my dad driving it that’s exactly when I became an automobile enthusiast. Without having any driving experience I took out the car for a drive in my 8th standard when dad was out of town and mom sleeping at home I slowly sneaked out. Drove for almost 2kms by the time I came back home to park outside I see my entire colony aunties along with my mom waiting outside my house worried how could I drive a car all alone at that age. I thought my mom would thrash me that I took the car out but it was opposite she was very surprised that how could I drive a car. Well she was worried too for me at the same time. Once my dad came back from his out station film shoot my dad had asked me to sit on his lap and asked me to handle the steering and I told him I can drive the car all by myself and got my 2nd chance to drive it and proved it in front of him. I still remember the heroic feeling inside me driving our very own 800 having my dad next to me. Maruti 800 my first 4 wheel drive experience will never forget in my life.

[@evoIndia]

What an awesome story!

[@prashantprasad6287]

This guy will get 100 out of 100 in essay 😂

[@rohit_19962]

Like everybody else, our first car was the Maruti 800, specifically the 2001 Maruti 800 STD in Ruby Red. It’s the one where my dad learnt to drive, I learnt to drive, my sister learnt to drive and a dozen other people learnt to drive ! I remember the moment we got the car, we headed straight to JC Road (in Bangalore) to customize it with “fancy” seat covers, sunfilms and a music system with front tweeters !!!!! Nowadays when you buy a car, it’s no big deal. But back in the day, the entire neighborhood welcomed the arrival of the car and even made a few people jealous ! Even though it was extremely fuel efficient, we parked it most of the time and used only when the weather was bad. Otherwise, it was 3 sometimes 4 people on our motorbike. Later the running costs became “too much” that we converted to LPG (CNG was unavailable in Bangalore). And by modern standard this car would be considered as a 2 + 2, but back in the day, it was a 5 seater minimum (children under 18 do not count) The car ran and ran without any issues whatsoever. We did long distance drives without even thinking twice. Even though we’ve all moved on from the 800 to more modern cars, the sense of occasion & excitement when buying the 800 is still unmatched. The memories we have of that car is still number one. And it’ll stay number one forever !

[@evoIndia]

Lovely story. Thanks for sharing!

[@nimalanmathew]

My brother and I have this memory of going to Bangalore to visit our granny during summer vacations, she has a maroon M800 which she drove until she was 70, we wait till she goes to take her afternoon nap silently we take the key from over the fridge and go to the basement to try to reverse park it😂 , she is 95 now and I'm 22 hoping she will hand it over to me soon💯

Second Green Tax valid till 2025. It's a beautiful car in top condition. I love the car. It's a center of attraction when I travel and people ask questions about the car, even though there are more modern cars around. I feel great & proud when I drive.

[@subhofeb]

My father had the 800 dx and I learnt driving in it. It was during my early college days and I remember how lovely it was to drive. I felt proud that it had 45 bhp and 5 speed! It was low to the ground it was fun to drive and sometimes when I could get in and out of corners fast enough even the tyres would squeal a bit. Thanks evo India for bringing back the lovely memories.

[@SagarKumar-sp7yf]

My father bought Maruti 800 EX Third Generation model in the year of 1999, it's still running very smoothly... we had a great memories with our car... Thanks for making the video...

[@yashwingowda882]

Yes sir I think EX variant introduced in 1999 had all the features of DX variant except AC. 1997 facelift 800 got radial tires and coil spring suspension in DX variant.

I live in Hungary, one of the lucky countries that imported Marutis starting from the end of the 80's. I currently own a 94' Maruti 800 and love that thing. I'm trying to keep it in good condition, people still come to me and compliment my little car. No modern or newer car can give that feeling :) Also, is it really gone? I'm not sure. I still can get anything for it even in Hungary!

[@PratikKumar_blade]

Damn good and thank you guys for this trip down the memory lane. I was waiting for this episode on Maruti 800. We brought home our first car, the Maruti 800 (silver colour or silk silver as it was called then) in the year 2007. It was an update to the third generation with a new perforated styled grill. What can I say about this little car, this is the car that introduced me to the "Thrill of Driving" that I have now with Cars. It never failed us, 5 people AC on but still never broke down - nothing. Absolute Gem. We had to eventually sell it in 2018 due to parking space issues where we stay and upgraded to Hyundai Grand i10. But even now also, that Maruti 800 holds special place in my heart. No matter what I drive now or upgrade to, will never forget this car.

[@roopeshkrishna34]

My first car in 1992.. still having like new.. bought two more, one is SS80.. And even last evening back home after driving 240 kms.. million thanks for the great video..

[@saliloza5461]

Hey great video. Again took me back to time. My dad purchased the 2nd generation somewhere around 1987. The whole colony where I lived then had come to see the car turn by turn and I was only too protective as a 10 year of the new purchase. After riding in an Ambi and Fiat, Maruti felt like heaven. We purchased the car from Enpak Motors, one of the few agencies that sprang up in Bombay cashing in on the Maruti name. Maruti has stood the test of time in India.

[@jayeshbhoir6133]

maruti 800 is an emotion i still remember sitting on my dads lap & starring car left right

[@saisankeerth5889]

I stilll have maruthi 800 its just a beasttt, a lengend 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@streetrider1987]

I had fallen in love the Maruti 800 second generation when I was 3 years old. During our family vacation in Kerala(Yes, I was in Doha-Qatar) it was a dream to have one of these or sit inside. The epic part of the car is the Japanese angry looking face designed wheels and that I would never stop staring on. And in pasts, the A/C in 800 was the best feature in that class. Then my uncle bought one in Bangalore, I was so excited and travelled all over in the city which made me thrilled and happy. Then secondly, fell in love with ‘Gypsy’-I request you to put next episode.

We will do one on the Gypsy for sure

[@adityaranadive2664]

My friend's dad had one 3rd gen back in 2005..we still remember coming back from school in the 800 and my family owned a maruti omni for 12 years..what a car it was,that heavy mechanical steering,RWD,sold it last week due to its age and increasing maintenance/breakdown,but loved the car... please make a vedio on omni...very few people know what a car it was, driving our car brought a smile on many people's face..still unable to answer everyone questions why we sold the car 😀

[@yashwingowda882]

Omni is fun to drive due to bus type steering, shorter width, shorter length and wheelbase, Japanese engine noise. But it doesn't give steering feedback due to recirculating ball type mechanism.

[@vikramadityabhadra7206]

My Tauji has a 1994 Maruti Suzuki 800. It's powered by a carburettor engine and driving that car is a completely different experience. I do enjoy the feel. Modern cars with all the bells and whistles can never deliver that raw mechanical and involving feel.

[@yashwingowda882]

True.

[@vaibhavthapliyal3429]

This is such an iconic car. This was my family's first car the 800AC and also SS80 was the car used for my father's wedding. Such a nostalgia watching this video.

[@navneeths6204]

Which year

[@shivanggowda2930]

My 1999 (carb) 800 ,4 speed still is a work horse and highway machine For being work horse it carries nearly 10+1 people to coffee estate, when seats folded it carries fertilizers, For being on highways even after clocking 3L + kms on odo it still put out 25+ kmpl thats a mind blowing engine that is capable of cruising at 100kmph all day with 26 liters tank. Pocket rocket 100%

Even if you make a 3rd episode on the 800, I would not blame you for that. Great stuff. Epic car.

[@ramonjose7182]

The 1995 facelift didn't stop with just a new grill. The bonnet lock changed, The hubcaps changed from metal to plastic, The rear split seats were introduced (though a little later in 1996), The front park lamps changed, Front Seatbelts were made standard and it was not the 5 speed which debuted the intermittent wipers. The 1995 model had it even in the base varient.

[@jalexrosh]

The hub caps were plastic before 95. I had a 94 model and it had black plastic hub caps

[@rishabhb.7175]

@@jalexrosh yeah in 93 they introduced the black colord plastic hub caps.. that was the very first facelifted model which got that.. n we owned that very first facelifted model.. it was a beast back then , its a legend now.. but sadly we had to scrap it coz mumbai just got the worst weather n made the body completely rusty n getting proper parts was a hassle.. but still 25+ yrs with this car - Maruti 800 proudly owned ❤️

That white maruti 800! Baba bought her home when I was 3 (in 1996) and she left us in 2017. Other cars came and left (Indica and Santro) but baba loved her more than anything else. So many memories, I learnt how to drive a car because of her and I have driven quite a few with my baba next to me but nothing beats his attention to my hands on the steering wheel.

Nice one Sirish and Evo! We had 3 Maruti 800s and the last one was repainted to a sarkari white and handed on to my brother as his college car - The M800 Thunderbolt as I nicknamed it! Also, World Car Guide for the win! My grandma gifted 2 year old me the 1989 edition (with the Testarossa on the cover!) and that's where my car obsession started! Bought every annual edition that followed - damn, it deserves a Gone but not forgotten episode of its own!

We owned 2 maruti 800. First was second hand in 95 on which my dad statted driving and then 99 first lot dx 5 spd ac .. and my dad still calls that a jet..

Wow Sirish, a remarkable and nostalgic review! My mum still has her SB308, bought in 1997. I learnt to drive with it. Used to sneak it out in the building premises just to get a hang. She still spends so much to keep it in shape and its a pity that it has to go by next year due to the scrappage policy. She's gonna shed a few tears for sure! She's just ever so used to that car that she calls our Polo "too big" and never likes driving it. We also had a nice number 4424 that we got for the Polo as well. Once again, great review that really got me on a memory flash. Look forward to see you guys in Goa with the Kigers!

P.S- ours has the seatbelts and intermittent wipers!😉

That’s lovely your mum still has hers. Don’t worry scrappage is voluntary. Keep the car

We got our first car in December, 2002 and that was the legendary Maruti 800(white). I remembered once 7 numbers of adults sat on our car and drove for 100kms, it was an emergency situation then. I still keep my first family car(maruti 800) in my garage neat and clean. Sometimes people come and asks me of selling it rather in a good price as it be expected but to me it's priceless and I put a smile on my face and say them that rather I will offer you some for not asking me to sell it. Now I drive my 800 only special occasions as if a king of cars is on the road to watch his kingdom.

Then we got the last generation of 800 on 2004 which had AC but still had no heater. Having heater in the car was a luxury then. This episode made me recall my childhood days. Thanks for this ❤️.

Great episode! Appreciate you guys for showcasing a legend of the Indian automotive sector. The 800 was our first car, bought in 2004. Unfortunately, it got submerged in the 2005 Mumbai floods. Even then, we made all the necessary repairs and used it right up till 2014. The funny part is, it broke down a couple of times at or near our destination but never left us stranded! It was our first family car, the first car I learned to drive, and the first of so many memories. Truly a legend! 💖

Its 2023, and I have a 2008 Maruthi 800 and even last week, a Hyundai i20 came aside and asked me if I have done any modifications to my engine. I said 'nah' its a stock engine. But still I was able to zoom past everyone in the green signal like a flash. My 800 goes from 0-100 in 12 seconds and still drives like a boss. It was a grandmother's car and I used to do little skids and stuff with her inside. Its where my heart is ♥💯 #Maruthi800

[@SubhamKarmakar24]

We had all the OG Maruti cars except the 1000. All my uncles went ahead and bought 800s and Omnis. All pre 2000s. We had 3 '97 800s, 1 round headlamp Omni, 1 Zen. The last remaining 800 was sold a year ago and the last time I sat in it, I couldn't even fit inside 😂 One distinct memory of mine regarding the 800 is once, I got locked in, my sister was also with me and we both got really really scared. 😂 It took a considerable amount of time before anyone even noticed that we were missing 🥲 Tbh, I liked the Omni better than the 800 because it was just more practical. We used to go on roadtrips, visit the beaches and drive on the beaches with the sliding doors open (driving on the beaches was still allowed back then 😜). Those were fun days!

after the Ambassador this the 800 RED at 5.15 was our car....the car I learned to drive in, sat in the dickie from Ooty to Bangalore from Lovedale & then in my Hometown of Jammu with not a single traffic light as a 15-year-old took to school & chased the girls in and drove around town every day till age 18 while my father was in the navy and away :)))

Learned driving on the 5 speed mpfi 800. I still remember it's engine sound with subdued whistle of some sort. Miss it😢..or rather I miss the memories association with it. But things were simpler yet nicer back then. Nowadays it's about the biggest, swankiest "SUV" with no character.

still got maruti 800 mpfi 5 speed and zen mpfi with me . and yeah it feels great when ever i rides it. never going to sell them . i searched 800 5 speed for months and it was a save from a scrap yard. we did some works to get it back to running conditions. slowly we upgraded and now it's my daily runner and running sweet .. it feels happy to own this cutest small cars in the garage.

Now I'm having a ss80 1984...its road presents is just 🔥🔥🔥🔥

My first ever “my own car” . It was a 1984 model M800 DX, which I bought second hand in 1996…same lovely red car….the ex showroom price was 42500 INR. And ten years on, despite being second hand, these cars commanded a princely price of anywhere between 50,000 and 75000 INR. Lovely little cars indeed. Superb to drive. Without exaggeration, there was a capacity test done in Madras in 1985 where they actually fitted 42 persons into this car…

This car brings good memories with it…
