Wagon R Duo is a total value for money as people say it. I bought a new WangonR Duo in pune from " Chaugule " at Satara Rd June 08. Its a beauty to drive and all the comfort that one would imagine in city and on highway. It does miss a clutch foot reset but that negligible. When I was thinking of buying a car, I was looking forward for fuel efficiency, comfort and which could allow a family for 4 with a dog. Trust me I made a good choice.
The Dealer Satisfaction " Chaugule " is more than expected. They handle all loan pressure and have perfect time management and stick to their word. If you can’t make it to the show room they have service at your door steps. I was amazed by their follow up as if the car was in good shape. We had contacted them before going on a long ride to Kagal ( Kolahpur ) to know a few details about the car on highway. I was stunned to get a call back to check if the car ran good and told to contact them at once if any problem.
The car starts on Petrol and switches to LPG even if when starting the car you have the switch mode on LPG. With MPFI engine. When on LPG you have the same Pick up, smoothness and power in city and highways or ghats with Ac as on petrol all the time and the car will not heat up at all. There is a slight lag when you switch from LPG to Petrol. Not from Petrol to LPG. The average in city with A/c on LPG is approx 12.5 and on Highway it snore upto 14 with A/c and LPG being Rs 36.50 liter . On petrol in city it 15 and highway sorry no Idea.
Handling the car is beauty when it comes to maneuvering it in city and off roads, parking is much easy. On highway it glides and holds the road even at 110 km/ph on wet roads. It comes with radial tiers and tubeless optional at mer 3000 extra. The luggage space is a little occupied by the spare tires as the original space has the Gas tank. Suspension and braking is good. Ground clearance, smoothness and handling on off roads is another advantage due to the powerful engine, suspension and power steering which does not give you the feedback of bad road and bumps.
Make sure you are regular at servicing and change the engine oil even during the 1st servicing.
Treat it like your child and it will take care of you !!!
I am not a hardcore fan of Maruti Suzuki as have never one a Maruti Suzuki before. Wagon R Duo has won my heart in many ways and am satisfied. Youngsters go for it. Family Enjoy the pleasure and the good old nothing like it .
Cheers !!! ;)
