Maruti Wagon R 2013-2022 Steering 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.

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.

Pros : Perfect family car...lot of space and good comfort. Powerful 1.2l engine , easy to handle , wide door , good suspension , good ground clearance , head lamp visibility is good , smooth gear shift , average mileage , killer boot space ..best in segment , looks good , wide mirror , leg room and kneene room is good , good stability and low maintenance .Overall it's a practical car .Cons:Fixed head rest , No rear a/c vents , a/c cooling takes time to fill in the cabin , plastic quality is not that great , Built quality is average , no alloys , music system is not good only two speakers , rear headrests is fixed , ties support is not that good no telescopic steering wheel , seat height adjustment is missing , no rpm meter for vxi varients..and no automatic climate control.Over all its one of the best car under 7 lacs and in Hatch back segment and also one of the best selling car in this segment. It mainly focus on practicality in Indian road conditions and attracts family buyer's. Als preferred for people who need lots of space , comfort , relaxed drive in city conditions and who are looking for easy to drive car. Stay safe and drive safely.

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.

Bluetooth connectivity.New head lamps.Very less scratch.Low maintenance.Top model.Power steering.And many more features.

No problem with the cng ect, Only got problems after replacing the full suspension and steering rack

Extremely happy with mileage ~ 21.5 kmpl on long-distance (about 2/3 highway). Maintenance - no major issue, only routine maintenance is done following the schedule. Easy to steer with just enough power. However, l feel it's a bit more sophisticated for my habit of driving my personal Eeco 5 seater a/c on all roads. Excellent car for city as well highway but not too good for rough roads with its soft suspension.
