its one of the most sought after cars because it gives almost everything that middle income families could wish for the kind of money they can invest.
it has fairly good styling, but a little bit squarish. though this factor is a part of decision making but its not that important for people like us. comfort is good because of ample headroom and legspace available, though this is because of its being squarish. also, its lighter in weight as compared to many others in this category, and hence, a better performer in terms of fuel efficiency, easy manouvering, etc.
this car is recommended for those who are first time buyers and are not ready to invest in something that they would find giving lesser value for their money.

Exterior
Its OK but not that great
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)
Space is OK and the features are not great for whta you pay
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox
The Engine performance is OK but often the Engine Belt will get pulled off. One of the dirtiest car
Ride Quality & Handling
Starts shaking after 80-90 on highways. Better dont drive above 60 Km and dont dash any where even with speed less than 20km/hr, u will literally die
Final Words
Please dont buy this car. Already I have filed a case in Consumer Court against Maruti for using inferior quality parts in the car. The car has failed crash tests and its suicidal to drive this car. You will know when even u have a small incident and u could see a big threat to ur life. The Safety is Zero.
Areas of improvement
No chances of improvement as the people of India buy products that are junk at exorbitant price
Only colorCar is Junk. All the parts are plastic. Cant drive on RoadsExterior/Styles

Exterior Nice in looks, attractive colours. One suggation- Company to provide the NiCr plated guard for Front bumper as a pert of basic model for safety as well as a dditional feature.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Smooth gear shifting, Comparatively less Engine noise, Economical in City roads.
Ride Quality & Handling Comfortable. Easy to handle in night long driving. No more stress found in long drive. Less turning radius helping out for easy driving. less space utilization for parking.
Final Words Good vehicle for 4/5 people family. Test Drive feeling iwas excellent. Good attention at Showroom aslo. (Excellent...).
Areas of improvement No any significent area observed for improvement. New look upgraded WagonR is really nice.

Exterior Wagon R's improved exterior looks, improved head lamps, big windows.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Quite spacious inside with adequate leg room and head room, luggage space is adequate for a family.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is not upto the mark as far as pickup is concernd, u have to struggle a lot in slow moving traffic with hard clutch and gear, overtaking is bit difficult. It is more of a old man look with lack of punch and power.
Ride Quality & Handling At over 60 kmph its good but definitely not above 90 kmph as the vehicle is not stable at that speed.
Final Words Maruti has to look into lot of things in Wagon R model. There is ample scope for improvement in this segment. Today's young generation will go for looks, performance . rather than compromsing on mileage and space alone.
Areas of improvement Performance, efficiency has to be looked into. Lot of things have to be changed like Gear box, clutch, cleansy old fashion dashboard.

I own a brand new maruti suzuki wagonR.but i will try to give an unbiased review so that u all can make a good choice of yours.1st of all let me tell u not any of the cars available in the market is perfect.u have to sacrifice something on the cost of another.make sure what u really want in ur car.
ADVANTAGES of wagonR over others
1.gigantic space in its class:-so that whole family can travel together and comfortably.
2.more than enough headroom and legroom:-tall persons can accomodate easily.
3.huge boot space:-very helpful in long drives.
4.k-series mpfi engine:-new technology provides more power in less cost.i get a min of 15kmpl and max of 19kmpl on highways.(india's most fuel efficient cars,according to maruti.)
5.responsive power steering and efficient cable type gear box:-ease of roaming around in cities where each inch matters.power steering is so smooth that at times i can even turn my vehicle with one finger.gear shiftting takes place with ur hands feather touch(even the rear gear).
6.sensitive throtle:-yes this car pays attention to every little movement on accelarator.i can assure u that this car will not show any significant/noticable drop of power during uphill or on full a.c.
7.better shock absorber:-shock absorbers r better than estilo or astar.comfortable ride under low speed.
8.intelligent and innovative space discovery:-a)in vxi variant ample spaceis given under front passenger seat.
b)driver and front passenger cup holder
c)floor console can accomodate a 2ltr bottle.
9.cheap spare parts:-in comparision to chevrolet or hyundai,spare parts of maruti are cheaper.
10.good value for money and resale value:-in india maruti is still the most renowned company,though many foreign companies have invaded the market.i think maruti customers r always satisfied for the value they get for their hardly earned money.
DISADVANTAGES of maruti wagonr over others.
1.not so stylish in comparision to its competitors(such as i10 or a beat)
2.dashboard is very simple when compared.
3.plastics used inside are cheap and do not give a luxurious feeling as others.
4.not so aerodynamic:-at high speed(more than 100kmph) the car seems unstable and uncontrolable.moreover the back portion turns bumpy noticebly.
5.ac is powerful and cools within minutes but there is remarkable difference of temperature between front and rear seat.i mean if front passengers feel chilling cold then onlly rear passengers will stop complaining of hot and humid climates in summer.
Piece of advice:
Go for wagonR-
1. If ur concern is space and comfort.
2. Going to buy ur 1st car and dont want to take unnecessory risks.
3. Belonging from simple or conservative family.
Don't go for wagonR-
1. When concern is look of the the car.there r many funky cars like astar or beat.
2. Similarly, when interiors and upholstery matters much to u.
Final Words I tried to mention much points from my experience.i think this review will help u to come out of confusion and fickle-mindedness.if u face any problem u can cmnt or weite to me at muktadeepbarai@gmail.com

Exterior Boxy shape - but good space.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors are comfortable.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Responsive engine though lacks in power as 1.1 ltr engine. how much it can deliver?
Ride Quality & Handling Excellent for City traffic conditions, very low noise.
Final Words I think when u drive a Wagon R, you are not comfortible in any other car. You become addict of the car and surely will love the car. I m using it since 2 years and hit 40000 km, but the pickup is like a new car. Very low on maintenance and high on fuel efficiency (18 kmpl in city and 20 on high ways with AC). Comfortable for from seats but not for rear. Very powerful AC. Surely it is a Daily use car. I love my car.
Areas of improvement If maruti improves on suspension , braking (ABS) , wheels size and little more power, I am dam sure i will again purchase an improved Wagon R.

Exterior I feel the new model is much better when compared with old wagon R especially early launch models. The side looks are great, styling of head & tile lamps are modern but I don't see any additional benefit with the blue eye (at front headlight area). It may look good with complete blue color paint but not with other colors.
CNG tank has been fitted at back; the parcel tray at the top of it completely covers the tank so that it will not disturb overall styling of the car. In fact you never know there is a tank at the back until you open the back dicci door. The chrome plate design with Wagon R name above the number plate gives more stylish look for back view.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The car has plenty of space on the inside. Coming to head, leg space I believe 70% people will give positive votes on this, tall people like me can sit comfortably. Even if you push the front seats completely back, 3 passengers at the back can sit comfortably with good leg space. Personally, I didn’t see this at i10 and Santro. Another good feature is wide opening doors, old people can step out from car with ease. Dashboard design is nice. AC performance is really good; car can get chilled within 5 min even with 38-40 degrees of temperature at outside.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Maruthi WagonR CNG comes with K10 engine (998 CC) same engine used in new Alto K10. Initially car starts, moves with petrol and after that it automatically switches to CNG mode. Switch controls given to change these modes. If you completely dry with petrol, you can start the car with CNG but this should be used in emergency condition only. No hassles in changing the gears, very smooth. You can feel this comfort in heavy traffic conditions.
The most important factor is, fuel economy 2 times I had tested in CNG it is giving me around 22-24 with AC in city conditions (company says 26th with standard test conditions). Total CNG tank capacity is 10 lts. (Maruthi said 60 lts of water capacity). Once you fill the tank you can go 220KM without stop. So I am more than happy person.
Ride Quality & Handling Running the car in petrol mode is very good I mean pickup. Universal truth is engine power will be shared when you switch on the AC. Car was sluggish CNG with AC. same with petrol. Particularly in uphill areas, you can feel the difference. Generally in city conditions it is OK. I don’t know the technical term for car suspension, but it has good suspension system than I ever feel. Even in bumpy roads car crawls very smoothly. You can hardly feel trembling. To be frank I never crossed 85 KMPH so I cannot say the ride quality at higher speeds. Another good feature is 4M turning radius, very very very useful for narrow turns especially in city conditions.
Final Words It is a good family car, this is the only car which suits to my requirements (refer to my above post for list of my requirements). In general if you are looking at better mileage, good comfort, and less maintenance you can go for this. When you compare with petrol price CNG is now only 40Rs perLt. More over you are serving to our mother nature with Blue Eyed “Green” Boy.
