This is my first review on mouthshut. Direct to the point, I purchased Wagon R LXI (actually dealer forced it to purchase). I was first time buyer so did not know much about the automobile things but wanted to own a family car.
Now I would like to share on below points after driving it for a year.
Space inside : After a year, going for may trips I could realised that the space in the car is not much. I mean no 3 average size persons could seat at back.
Dealer Satisfaction : Not at all good. Irony is, for first FREE servicing Dealer (Sai Services, JM Road, Pune) they charged me 3K. This does not seems to be FREE at all. After that I did all the FREE servicings at Maruti Care Point and they did the servicing in Rs. 110. ITs not fake, I can show the bill. So, never do the servicing from dealer.
Fuel Consumption : City :- 14km/ltr (petrol)
Highway : - 17km/ltr (petrol)
Comfort : Its good but not very good. For long drives certainly it is not good but for city drive its fine.
Reliability : On this point Maruti Suzuki scores a lot. There was situation were I could not start the car for 2 weeks. But when I started my car after 2 weeks it got started immediately with no hesitation. Engine is certainly fundastic. Cetainly Mr. Reliable
Looks : Wagon R does have Asian loooks. The new wagon R (which I owned) is much better than the older one.
Highway Run : With wagon R fully loaded takes some time to pick up and this sometimes causes annoyes to the fellow cars. And I could not drive the car beyond 110. Though it shakes a lot after 90.
Last word : If driving is city go for it, if highway think before buying.
