மாருதி சுஸுகி வேகன் ஆர் [2006-2010] யூசர் ரிவ்யுஸ்

Exterior Great Brave look.. I feel itz much better than Bue-eyed latest wagonR. Maruti must consider resuming second gen wagonR with K-series engine.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good headroom( i'm 6 feet tall. itz d only small car dat suits me) n Front visibilty. BAck seats r bit congested with less leg room.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox A brilliant engine with good performance, underpowered when using A/c with lpg. Giving me mileage of about 13kmpl in lpg(without a/c) n 16 kmpl in petrol (without a/c). Gear Throws r disappointing.. itz d Biggest disappointment in Wagon-R.

Ride Quality & Handling Smooth Riding car but cornering sshould be improved. i feel 15" tyres as dat of Ritz would have been a good option. Handling is also good.

Final Words A must buy Small Car for middle class family. LPG will save your money if u do over 20,000km per year. i'm using this car for past 4 years n i dont have any engine or service problems.

Areas of improvement Improve gear box n reduce long throws. improve plastic quality. consider 15" tyres. Height adjustable seats should be considered as many short people r facing problems with visiblity.

The buying experience was very good??. The balance on the road is excellent. Looks are very smart, performance is excellent. Zero maintenance car. Driving for last 12 years. No problem until now.

My father bought a Wagon R one and a half years back. We also have a Hyundai Santro at home. The one thing which struck me when I first drove the Wagon R was that the gear shift quality was absolutely terrible as compared to the Santro. One really has to wrestle with the gear shift lever to slot the car into overdrive.

Also there is a marked difference in the performance with the air conditioner running. This can be seen in the Santro as well but it is not as pronounced in the Santro as in the Wagon R.

Another thing which I don't like about the Wagon R is that the build quality is also poor as compared with the Hyundai's Santro. Within 4 months of owning the Wagon R it had more rattles than our then 4 year old Santro. 

Now coming to the good part about Wagon R, it gives better fuel economy than the Santro and the cost of servicing is also cheaper than the Santro.

Overall it has been a fair experience of owning a the Wagon R. But, living with the Santro has been a better experience than the Wagon R and if given an option I prefer to take the Santro over the Wagon R even though it is the older and is not equipped with a power steering which the Wagon R we own has.

Although now I don't think one should go with either the Wagon R or the Santro as better options are aviailable from both the manufacturers. Namely, A Star from Maruti and i10 from Hyundai.
