Full Review

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).

can u pls provide a comparison between wagonr duo and santro eco. Need info on mileage and maintenence of lpg and life of engine on lpg. My monthly km running would be 500 km max, of which less than 75 would be in city. I am taking provision for increasing petrol costs also.

Hi All, i am confused after reading the reviews about mileage. Is it tru that Wagon R Duo mileage is 9.5 - 12.5 . I am planning to buy this car..The Maruti dealers have told me that mileage on LPG is no less than 17 (city)- 20km/lt.

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

My dear frinds, It's nice really useful for one like me who is looking out to book a car. Well the diff. in the price of Wagon R petrol and LPG version is 50000. Kindly suggest is it worth spending so much for LPG? Is it so economically? What is your exp. about average on LPG? Pls. post your reply. or do call 09480303251 or write to gurunyasa@gmail.com
