Hi,
I have bought my WagonR just two months back and I have seen the car performing to the maximum. I haven’t checked my Mileage but I calculated it to be around 12KMPL.
Engine respose is damn good and beauty of this vehicle is it’s power steering. I am very new to driving and I was able to manuver on roads like an expert with PS. Parking becomes very easy with this(PS). Without any experience in driving I was little afraid about parking in narrow places, with Power steering and little presence of mind I was able to park it very easily.
Though it is little costilier than Santro(given the offer of various accessories) I recommend going for a WagonR which will give you a big car feeling and It is backed by Japanese engineering.
Gear Shifts are upto the mark. Performance decreases when A/C is on.
Go for this vehicle if you are having more than two people in your family. The suspension is awesome. The driver’s seat is positioned in such a way that he has complete view of the road.
