Middle class man's best friend

Its been 8 months I bought the car. First choice was alto because of the budget. But seeing the price difference and features with wagon R, it was an easy decision. People working in Maruti are awesome, even if it is sales executive or service people. Always nice to me and happy to help. Design: I was not a fan of new design, but it grew on me and i like it now. There are some issues with the not so easily visible parts like wheel base area, boot hinges etc where the metallic joints are with bad finishing. Missing head rest in back row. Performance: We have what we expect from this segment. Mine is 1.0. I sometimes feel a bit high engine sound . Fuel economy is around 16 17 range for me with 40 % city drive. More height means less stability. Handling is just okay. Service: there was some knocking sound front engine room at first, but after service, it is completely gone. They said it was some ac thing which was loose. Took a while to find it out. Build quality: as everyone knows, maruti gives importance to mileage and hence build quality is compromised. Maintenance: until now there are no major things to do as it is only 8 months old. I expect low maintenance which is expected from maruti vehicles. Final verdict: value for money. Price have increased around 40k in last 8 months. So for me it was a good deal. Lot of space for a 4 or 5 member family with lot of boot space too. Overall I am very happy with my wagon r other than the concern with increasing fuel price.
