Something tells me those pads weren't for aches and pains, but for dehumidifying the car. Three of them at once is a bit extreme; maybe the scuttle was blocked with leaves and detritus, and water ended up coming into the cabin, so they were used to help dry the interior out.

This was one of India best selling cars. It is built to a price but it costs peanuts to run. After a few years, body flex sets in and the interiors disintegrates but they carry on battle scarred. Most impressive are how their lightness enables them to tackle Himalayan mountain roads with aplomb! We were cautious with our Kodiaqs due to their bulk and lower profile tyres! These were like gnats, their lightness and high profiles tyres allow them to fly across ruts and weave in and out

Trust me over this, Alto in India, Nepal and Bhutan drive up the Himalayas without breaking a sweat, all day every day. The locals there are so happy with the reliability and cheap cost of maintenance of an Alto that it is used as a taxi in almost all hilly states in Nothern and North-Eastern India. Yes, Maruti is Indian and this very car rolled out of a production line in Gurgaon, India. I myself have an 800CC one from 2003, done close to 60,000 KMS, nd that thing is not dying or leaving me stranded anywhere!

Great little cars. So easy to drive. Remarkably smooth engine and 50 mpg easy to achieve. Crash protection is rubbish but boot is decent, rear leg room good, driving position good. Corrosion on shock absorbers is more of an issue than you would think as bottom bracket can actually fail so worth replacing old originals, especially at the front. Biggest win is only £30 road tax although insurance can be oddly high. See loads in India where they seem to soldier on everywhere regardless.
