Too good as a car.
Honestly I was bit apprehensive about this car but reviews from nears and dears made me buy this car. And I must say...I M Very Proud Owner Of Wagon R. The control, fuel efficiency, the smoothness, maintainance etc etc is so good. I bought it in Jan 2005. 2005 model comes with few modifications in lights, headlight leveller etc. The car is very much different from the previous versions.
The control over the car is tremendous. I heard some ppl saying that when speed reaches 80-90 kmh, this car shivers. I think its their heart, which shivers. But my experience doesnt support this theory. This car is equally good at 90-100 kmh. The electronic power steering of this car is very good in performence.
The fuel efficiency is also very good. In city like delhi, my car gives me 14-15 kmpl and on highway I have fetched upto 17 kmpl. Now some of you must be thinking that I am quoting some what high, but it is not. The average of car doesnt fully depend on the car engine but also on the way u drive ur car. For eg, wagon r gets to 5th gear as soon as we reach 40. So this ensures that ur car is in top gear at the low speed like 40, thus giving u high fuel efficiency. There are several things like these which affects the efficiency of a car.
The maintainance is also very low. I cant remember when I got trouble in my car. Infact till today I have never taken my car for any repairs or troubles.
One more interesting piece of info is the space engineering. Will you believe that it allows u to make a proper double bed with in this car. SO park it and sleep inside it if ur mom or wife kicks you out. Plus its doors have enough space blocks to keep cds, small food items etc. The DashBoard is very spacious too. The leg space-ultimate. The dicky is very spacious too. The A.C is super chilling.
The 2 flaws in the car is its shape and rear seating. The shape is ok because once u see same kind of shape everyday, u become used to it.
It is a 4-seater car and because of that 3 ppl at the back becomes a tight affair. But still this disadvantage cant stop u to buy this car.
If compared to Santro, Santro has only looks, Rest all. means mileage, space, control, low maintainance etc lies with Wagon R.
