Best performance and best quality

1. Buying experience was good. It was easily available and packed. 2.I like driving this car. I am riding this car even in market. 3. Look is different from others cars but I like it and performance is best. 4.I think and I personally feeling service and maintenance is very low compared to other cars. 5. Pros is everything. Cons is look only.

Tata Nano CX the best vehicle within this price range.

Very nice vehicle in this price range. I have been using this vehicle for 6 months now. It has been a great experience. It gives me an average of 22 KMs per litre of petrol in the city and 26 on the highway. I am six feet height, Initially, I thought I will not fit in this car to drive. But inside it is very spacious. I personally recommend this vehicle, who want to have their first 4 wheeled vehicle with a very little budget.

Best in its segment

Great overall the experience of driving it for the first time was insane, had smooth go, I'd say best amongst its competitors..

Maruti Suzuki Wagon R Flex-fuel — First Look

By Ninad Ambre22 Jan 2023

The way things are being planned, the Maruti Suzuki Wagon R Flex-fuel (FF) is set to become India's first mass-segment flex-fuel car. It's one of the answers to the never-ending quest for alternative fuels for cars. The Wagon R FF is designed to run on any ethanol-petrol blend and will eventually help reduce tailpipe emissions. It also goes without saying it will comply with the upcoming and more stringent BS6 phase-II emission norms. The prototype exhibited at Maruti's pavilion at the 2023 Auto Expo looked exactly the same as the standard Wagon R on sale in India, save for the fluorescent badging. We believe the 'Flex-Fuel' branding on the side will be mellowed down in the production avatar. However, the bright green embellishments may be retained to display its green, environment-friendly avatar.

Small Wonder
