when we compare this to Santro - if feel santro has a better build quality (esp the gear box).


LPG - has issues in when your are at lower speeds (not sure this if my car alone - service guys did not do much).


Mileage perspective in city traffic its about 9.5 and highways its about 12.5 with LPG...


Since LPG is about Rs 28. its about 3 Rs per KM... and the break even compared to petrol is after driving for about 20,000 KM (so if you drive a lot - then makes money sense - if you are looking to have a fun car this  is not it).

    Hi friends,

    Could you please inform me about the seating capacity in Wagon R Duo ? It is written as 4 seater..but Wagon R normal(LX1, VX1, non-LPG) are 5 seater. What the difference they made in seating arrangement ?

    "when we compare this to Santro - if feel santro has a better build quality (esp the gear box)". I fuuly agree. Santro is a better car in all respects - Build Quality, Handling, Engine, Gearbox, Steering etc. I feel even the lowly Spark is better than Wagon R & Zen Estilo.
