Maruti Wagon R 2013-2022 User Reviews

Actually the car was bought used, It's a 2007 model with the f10d engine.I am about 6ft in height and the tallboy design helps with the ingress and egress.The car was bought mainly to learn driving in it.And it actually serves quite well as a city car, The compact dimensions mean that its quite easy to park in tight parking spots.Highway stability is decent upto 90 km/hr but at around 100 km/hr, The vehicle starts to feel unstable.The engine has great low end torque thereby making it easy to start in inclines, And it revs over 6200 rpm and the engine is quite l-o-u-d at that level.The gearbox has some synchro issues especially with the first gear so you actually have to double clutch to first (only when vehicle is moving)to make the gear lever move easily.Coming to interior, The plastic quality isn't that great and as such the car rattles quite a lot.Rear seat is pretty much unusable for me but i can manage a bit because of the massive headroom on offer.Front seats are good for the most part except on long drives, Where i get lower back pain.The exterior metal panels feel flimsy but are still better when compared to the newer age marutis, Although i know that exterior panels contribute very less in dissipating the energy when in the event of a crash.Also there are no airbags or abs in this model.I had a few instances where i had a tire lock up situation owing to hard braking but i managed to control by easing the brake pressure thereby regaining steering control, So in that way, It sort of actually teaches you on regulating brake pressure and helps you to be a better driver if that makes sense.The suspension is pretty beat up and there is quite a bit of rust on the underbody.The odo reads at 67000 kms as of writing this post and the car has served well for our purposes till now and we are now considering the altroz turbo petrol as our next car.

Well, my dad was riding a 10 year old i20, we just wanted to upgrade to a new small car , since he is 65 years old and need a small and automatic car. I did various researches and shortlisted Santro Magna & Wagon R VXI 1.2 Optional. I was shocked to know that Santro has dual Airbags in only Asta model (Does safety feature has any thing to do with models ?) Anyways, finalised Wagon R VXI Automatic (O) since this model is having dual front Airbags but ultimately purchased ZXI AMT.Drive was very good, engine was refined but i had slight issues with the Dealer, who gave me August 2019 Car on 23rd January and even i asked him about model, he said, for 2020 manufactured cars you have to wait for couple of months but when dealer is giving a 6 months old car, then atleast some discount should have been provided. Glad that vehicle is BS6 (As said by Dealer, but I don't trust them) There were some scratches / minor dent in front bumper, which i checked and told to Dealer (He replaced with another new car, Sad that same will be sold to someone else).I was dissapointed by the fact, if someone is buying a new car, then Dealers can make you fool.This is not my first car, prior to this our family already ownedToyota Qualis 2000Toyota Qualis 2003Toyota Qualis 2004Toyota Innova 2006Maruti Wagon R LXI 2007Hyundai I20 Asta 2009Hyundai i20 Asta 2013Hyundai I20 Sports 2013Maruti Wagon R ZXI AMT 2020

Wagon r is a much underrated car, But it is a very smart choice and value for money.Now i'm going for second car and having driven wagon r for 8+ years i do end up comparing my experience in terms of space- headroom, Legroom and superior drivers field of vision in wagon r where it hard to beat even today with so many options available in the market.Bt wagon r could have been even better, Had if it just come with safety features like tata nexon.But wagon r is a very comfortable family car none the less.Easy to drive, Superb field of vision that gives a lot of confidence when on road - this aspect is even better than many premium cars.Great head and leg rooms both in front and rear, Sufficient boot space.Though storage space on doors is desirable.Greatest advantage is zero maintenance and great milage.I constant get close to 18-19 kmpl in city driving.On an average it cost less than rs.5000 per annum.What i love about wagon r is big rear view mirrors.Also my original tyres lasted 45000+ kms, My original battery lasted more than 7 years.Overall wagon r is best car for those who are good behind wheels and can ignore it's lacking on safety features.Another plus point is when riding a wagonr one does not feel cluster phobic or suffocating inside the car even when driving with 4-5 persons and glass rolled up.

I have bought my wagon R vxi model on September 2015 and I have driven about 53000kms so far including a single day journey of 1100 kms from Kolhapur in Maharashtra to Chennai via Karnataka. Overall performance of the car is satisfactory. It is extremely comfortable and spacious and can easily accommodate 5 persons. Overall mileage is average . I am getting about 13 km/l in city and about 16-17 km/l on Highway. maintenance cost is satisfactory and if you put company synthetic Engine Oil it goes about 6500/- to 9500/- in one time service visit after 10000 kms.Positive 1. Commendable road visibility and big spacious interiors.2. Lot of room to put bottle holders and other items in the car.3. Hassle free city and highway driving4. Easy on maintainance5. Easy ingress for taller and women due to door opening at 90 Degree angle.6. Decent fuel tank capacity of 34 litresNegative :1. Poor plastic components in interior which start rattling after 15000 kms2. Mileage is less for a 998 cc car3. No bluetooth connectivity, multi functional steering wheel or touchscreen infotainment system at the time of purchase.4. Poor stock tyres that give away in 33000 kms.5. Poor cabin insulation for road noises.

As we all know petrol prices are skyrocketing so i bought this car to travel around.Switched from tiago so my experience would be against tiago.Driving is bumpy and body roll is there you have to be very careful around corners.The engine is super smooth and silent as if it is not there.Love the engine response it doesn't feel different from a petrol car.The suspension works better however lights and features of the car are minimal.This is a city car not for long drives as headlight performs badly on highways.The power window started making a cranky sound.During rain, I could feel drops splashing in the cabin from don't know where.Too much exhaust fumes when you start the car in the morning.1st service reported all these issues however not solved.Due for 2nd service soon when i will get this repeated issues resolved.

If i compare my car with the latest models, Then it's out of the race.But when i purchased in 2013, It was having the most relevant features.Above all was the nippon factory fitted sound system which is still above average.I have hardly spent on accessories for the car.Only the shock absorbers were changed because of overload.I have taken the car for long trips covering 650 kilometers at a stretch.No issues at all.Top speed i have driven to 160 on hyderabad - bangalore highway.

I am driving a wagonr duo since last 10 years and is quite happy with its performance.Faced very less issues wrt to engine.The only grey area is ac which is not powerful the front gets cooled but not much for people sitting in rear.

Body balance was not so good, Ac was not sufficient, Seats are comfortable for front passengers compared to rare, Noise cabin underrated vehicle, A decent amount of mileage 20 on highway and 17 in city

The wagon r mileage is 23.56 kmpl to 34.05 km/kg.The automatic petrol variant has a mileage of 25.19 kmpl.The manual petrol variant has a mileage of 24.35 kmpl.The manual cng variant has a mileage of 34.05 km/kg.Even in the hills, I drive without feeling any power as i am used to this and know the correct gear for up & downhill driving.On highway, I fairly drive at 90 and sometimes reaches 110 without any issues.In my opinion, It is good for a long drive as its high seats are comfortable to sit and drive for long.Best family car, Budget-friendly and good mileage, Awesome performance, And a good safety feature easy to drive.

I have an 2010 model and till now i feel it is better than other comparators.Its fuel efficiency is better with a powerful engine and lot of capacity inside.It is good specially for villages with rough road conditions as it has a high wheel base from ground.I live in a place where there is 6 months cold temperature dropping to minus 17 degrees an winter and in such harsh weather it starts very comfortably all the time.I never feel any trouble while overloading this car.I use to carry 500 to 800 kgs of fertilizers and other equipments to fields in this car even on tough and hilly roads and it always satisfying me.Thanks.

I don't think wagon r is a good car now, Earlier models of this were way better than this one, Earlier models were solid but now they have made wagon r so light weight that if fast air blows you can feel it inside the car as car shakes, And paint quality is low that if car is touched anywhere paints gets tear out, It is worse in rain, As during heavy rain it feels like you are sitting under some metal sheet that is making a huge noise due to rain water, Seriously this time wagon r is not worth buying.

It is very reliable.I am very happy with it's performance.I get good mileage on city roads as well as on highways aldo.On an average i get 23 km mileage on cng in city and 29 to 30 km on highway on high ways.With petrol i get 15 on city roads and 19 on highways.Driver's seating position is too good for long drives.On many occasions i drove more than 650 km in a single stretch too.It's pick up is also good.No nonsense car, You get a feel of mpv at a low budget.
