Hi ,
I purchased a new WagonR LXi on the occassion of DurgaPuja.
I did a lot of study and research before buying the WagonR.
My other short listed cars were Santro Xing XL, Alto Lxi and Indica Xeta
(1) WagonR’s engine is more compact and small but produces the same power as Santro.
(2) Wagon R engine is having 4 cylinder 16 valves, which is 12 in Santro. More valves are always good for engines life and also Exhaust is good.
(3) Wagon R have Electronic Power Steering but Santro have old hydrolic PS. At higher speeds PS automatically disables itself in WagonR for better control over the vehicle.
(4) Wagon R is equipped with 32 bit on board microprocessor, since 32 bit processor are having more speed than 16 bit therefore it’s MPFI section is very efficient.
(5) Also many parts of the vehicle is microprocessor controlled. Vehicle can automatically diagonasis itself if some fault occurs in some parts.
(6) Other than that I found more boot and leg space in WagonR than Snatro. Space inside the car is used very efficiently.
Some Cons I found in WagonR is:
(1) There should be driver seat height adjustment.
(2) Tachometer should be provided in all models, since it is very useful while adjusting the engine idle speed.
(3) Shockups need to be more good, it gives noticible jurk if some sharp trench is passed in speed, but the same thing I don’t feel if i’m in Tata sumo/safari.
(4) Gear shift need to be more peppy, it is sometimes difficult to go from 4th to 5th gear.
Hope this review will help people who r planning to buy WagonR
Thanx
