    PURCHASE:
    New

    DRIVING:
    Few thousand kilometers

    The car has overall good exteriors with attractive tail lamps, bright headlamps, distinctive roof rails but I personally feel if the wheel size would have been a bit bigger to suit its tall boy design.

    The dash board looks very ordinary and almost poor as compared to Hyundai i10 or Ritz. The rear seat is not very comfortable though the front seats have excellent leg space, stapney is poorly placed and takes a lot of space in luggage space making it very small which is because of LPG kit obviously. Door pockets in all 4 dors add to convenience and seat belts for all passengers add to safety. The RPM meter would have added more style to instrument panel. Also the vehicle is not good to accomodate 5 persons comfortably.  

     Engine delivers a very smooth driving experience, steering never goes spongy and I'd like to call it a silky smooth driving. Gear shifting is not good and I am facing continuous problems with reverse gear. Feul economy that I received yet is not more than 10 kmpl in LPG with AC. The petrol adds 2 more kms to the same. Not using the AC makes the difference again with 2 kms of addition in mileage. Car starts giving jerks after 2500-3000 kms of driving, in LPG mode. Engine also goes too dull with 5 persons and AC on.  

     Ride quality is good and smoothness in case of frequent services is good. Driving in city conditions is excellent experience as the car seems to glide even in the intense traffic. Over all comfort level is average.

     Thus investment in Wagon R Duo LXi is not a bad deal. Rather its a deal with true value for money if you are not expecting something really great. But the above mentioned points are also to be considered before making the purchase decision. There are better options in Maruti itself is you increase your budget slightly. 

     Maruti needs to work on the problem with LPG kit and styling of interiors which definitely have a good scope of improvement. Stapney better be mounted more thoughtfully and in the last, the gear shifting should also not be failed to made smooth. HAPPY DRIVING, HAPPY BUYING!!!😊

    AC is efficient, responsive steering, smooth drivingpoor stability in sharp turns, LPG kit problems, poor gear shift, uncomfortable rear seats
