The Wagon-R was a new concept in hatch-backs in India when it was first launched, particularly for its looks. It hence took a bit of time to catch on, but by now it has grabbed the market very nicely. The kind of interior space/ leg space you have in a Wagon-R is unmatched by several sedans, and ALL small cars. The power-steering is excellent, and driving is easy. The fuel efficiency of my BS-II car is not great, but not poor either. Among the problems I have faced in the last three and half years with my Wagon-R Lxi are (1) the poor rear view mirrors, (2) lack of space in the back seat if you want to fit three people (the manual does say it is a five seater), (3)slight topsy feeling when driving on poor roads (undulating surface/ big potholes), which is probably due to the high position of the CG due to the car's height. Overall, the Wagon-R is highly recommendable for a small family, needing a city car which can take occassional long drives

    Dear Kirk, If you are joking, and your comment is meant to be compliment to WagonR, its fine. However, if you are serious, then I beg to differ. Maruti calls WagonR a MAV (Multi Activity Vehicle), which is an apt name. However a mini-SUV it is certainly not. A good example of a mini-SUV is 'Ford Fushion. WagonR is a compact hatchback by Indian standards

    actually one should try a pill tp get lean to get confort in these cars specially back seat.
    not at all for 5. one should try a xeta or a palio stile.
