Maruti Wagon R 2013-2022 Driver 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.

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.

2005 model Lxi now re registered hardly run for 40K kms. no major repairs, air conditioner cooling coil replaced. regularly changing oil, oil filter etc. The car is fuel efficient giving around 18 to 20 in high ways, 14-15 in city. I am not a spirited driver. But occassionally for a short sprint the car is good. But not good in twists & corners. Mainly used as a family car. Originally came with power steering, ac & all door electric lock (not central lock I think). I affixed reverse camera, display & sony stereo & 4 speakers. The car still drives smoothly even after 15 years. I love the practicality though not thought about it the time of buying.

The car do look like a box ,there is nothing glamorous about the car even the new version are becoming uglier generation by generation .Do not give comfort of even sitting for someone of height 6 ft .The boot space is so less (yeah! Yous hould be like what do you want for that price) but yes the dashboard parts continously hit your knees ,not comfortable at all still I am not talking about the rear seats they are even worse ,engine sometimes gets dead during the shifting of gears (Not only me I have seen every driver struggling on that).There is no safety measures in the car( My uncle once met with accident in our car fortunately he was thrown away from the car when the car fall into a ditch ,if he was not he surely had died ,the car was turned into a heap of metal junk ,there ia not even body skeleton it was like when a kabadiwala come to your house for garbage and he crush everything to be fitted in his bag ,the car was no less than it..Hope they pay attention to safety features and add some air bags and body skeleton to the car .Yes suzuki car are meant for mileage ( we have seen ad on like "kitna deti hai" ) but seriously not only mileage counts plus don"t make it like a box .

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.

Good performance with 1000cc engine especially pickup and acceleration.Amt performance is ultimate.Comfortable for driver and front seat passengers.Rear seat not very good but ok.Small boot space.Overall the vehicle is very good.
