Maruti Suzuki Wagon R [2006-2010] User Reviews

This is one of the most non preffered car by me but when i drove it,it simply changed all my previous thoughts.It has got a good high mount sitting position which really makes it very easy to manoveur yourself in the city.smallest of potholes are visible.The smart new car has got a smarter engine too. But those who cannot understand the meaning of flat torque & its usage than it will be a nightmare for them to understand & will complain of its poor gear shifts.the beauty lies here there is no need to change the gears whether you accelerate or decelerate. The cars torque will take care of it & you will also be less tired with regards gear shifts in the city traffic.The interiors are well appointed with nice rooomy feel to it. The only bad part is that it has provision for 2 speakers only.The EPS is simply great & it automatically switches off once you cross 70 kph & then you will feel the car heavier to turn thus assuring the safety at high speeds.The max speed that car can touch is around 157 kph but with a risk as car feels slight unstaedy over 128 kph. The DUO simply lacks the power & pick up compared to its petrol sibling.

But believe me the wagon R simply glides on the road & the back seaters wont be disappointed as well.The Fuel economy is great with 12.9/ l & 18/l in city & highway depending your style of driving.The wagon r will also fetch you good on resale compared to other cars in its class.

I have recently booked one & i am waiting for its Delivery hope that it would live upto my expecatation which i received during driving  the DEMO version

Last but not least always take care with regads safety of youself & those around you.

Any one who is looking for a sporty hatchback with gr8 performance give this car a pass. But in its own rights this is a very practical car for modular families living in the city.

   It has very good manuvourablity in the city and is easy to drive in dense traffic conditions.Rear legroom is good for 2.Fuel economy is good with 12 in city and abt 16-17 in the highway with ac on. Boot is of very good size for a car of its size. This car has a gem of a engine n will hardly give u any problem n maintainance required is very less.

But its not very confidence inspiring on the highway above speeds of 130km/hr bt is quite stable at 100-110 km/hr.The gearshift is pathetic n u will hav a hard time using it in the beginning.The interior is average.And the poor ground clearance will make sure that you need to be on your nerves on bad indian roads.

Overall its a very good car inspite of having its flaws and matches its competitors in everyway.

Hi Friends,

It was very difficult to choose between Santro and WagonR, but i found WagonR more value for money hatchback.
i liked the new wagonR looks. It is like mini SUV, with roofrails it looks superub. When ever u enter into car it give u a feel of lot of space than Santro. It is having more boot space then Santro also rear seat is completely foldable.
After a lot of study i saw that technology used in WagonR is more advanced than Santro e.g
(1) WagonR engine is more compact and small but produces the same power as Santro
(2) Wagon R engine is having 4 cylinder 16 valves, which is 12 in Santro. More valves are always good for engines life.
(3) Wagon R have Electronic Power Steering but Santro have old hydrolic PS.
(4) Wagon R is equipped with 32 bit on board microprocessor, since 32 bit processor are having more speed than 16 bit therefore it’s MPFI section is very efficient.

(5)More boot and leg space in WagonR than Snatro.

It is having good stability as high speed. I drove max at 130Km/h(with AC on), in Mumbai-Pune express way. 
I found it’s drive extremely smooth. Pickup is too good.

Only drawbacks i found in WagonR are:

(1)   Boxy look but still it looks fantastic with roofrails

(2)   Gear Shifting is not as good as santro xing

(3)   Beige interior is not available.

I hope that i cleared the doubt of many friends who r thinking between WagonR and Santro.
Of course if u want to go for look Santro is more good looking car, but if u go technologically WagonR is far ahead of Santro.

Think and Decide…
