I am from amritsar, punjab. I bought it from jaycee Amritsar dated 3rd April 2009. Till date I have drive 2200 Km on city and highway. Before purchasing this car I searched a lot of cars. In my range are i10, santro xing, spark, alto, zen estilo, Indica vista petrol.
Here I am compare each with wagon R Lxi Petrol and try to show you why I purchased wagon R Lxi Petrol.
Diesel Vs Petrol :- As my monthly usage is very less approximate 300 - 400 kms. So I purchased the Petrol version.
Petrol vs Gas(LPG):- In my personal view the LPG car doesnot have the fun of driving. It will effect on speed limit, pick up, bad lpg smell some time, after 2-4 years it will effect on engine(if you not properly service you car i.e. change engine oil, filter, spark plugs after 3000km which extra cost 3000 yearly). My personal view is if you want to purchase an lpg car dont buy a car buy an auto where you can also fit 4-5 persons.
i10 vs wagon R:- i10 have less space(Remember good space is required for relaxation in any case wheter you buy a car, home, or go to park etc.) . i10 gear is very smooth.which is a plus point for i10. But it is attached to the dashboard which makes it look better.you also feel comfort of gear when you test drive it. But for long run it is wrong position. You will not feel comfortable on the long run when you shift the gear. The interior of i10 is better than wagon R. But interior is only a makeup. (Without makeup try to see the real beauty of a girl, car). Engine wise wagon R engine is better than i10 era. Both have similar price range. spare parts and service of i10 costly than wagon R.
Santro xing vs Wagon R:- I love the santro xing shape from exterior. But its interior is very old 10 year. Wagon R engine is better than santro. Comfortability of both are good. Average of Wagon R is better. Spare parts and service of Wagon R is cheaper. Also remember Wagon r is japnees brand and i10 is korean. The japnees are many times ahead in automobile technology from korea.
Spark vs Wagon R:- Spark is good car but the sevice and spare parts are not available some time. Wagon R(maruti) have more service stations. Even at a remote place you can find a maruti (wagon R) machinic but very difficult to find a spark(chvrolet) mechanic. Look of spark is not good. It feels me like maruti 800. Resale value of spark is not good.
alto vs wagon R:- I want to purchase a 1000cc engine car because it have more pick up , speed and conrtol. the alto looks me like martui 800 which I previously owns. I want a change. Also the wagon R is more roomy than alto.
Zen estilo vs Wagon R:- Although both have same engine. The zen estilo have good interior. But from exterior it like me NANO(Now the make exterior change) . But the dash board of wagon R is very useful. The dashboard of Wagon R is not made for good show it is made for comfortability. Also the resale value is not good for zen estilo. The zen estilo sale is very poor and always keep away from those goods(cars) that have very less sale.
Indica vista petrol vs wagon R:- The tatas are known for diesel engine. I know that in petrol vista thay have the fiat sfire engine. But the sale of vista petrol is very less and it is rule of thumb "stay away from less selling goods(cars)" . The life of indica vista is less than wagon R. The reliability of wagon R is more than vista.
So at last I purchase the waogon R Lxi petrol. And I am completely satisfied.
