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.

Dream car; but high maintenance cost due to dealer's recommendations for change of spares

Exterior Excellent. Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good. Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good Engine, lower fuel economy will be offset by the performance. Ride Quality & Handling Excellent. Final Words Having bought this car when first launched in May 2010 and having driven for nearly 5 years, I am forced to sell of this car as the service provider took me for a ride by recommending change of spares (when they were not required to be replaced). When I lodged a complaint with the company on their toll free no., to my surpise, they forwarded the complaint to the same service station against whom I had complained! No company representative got actively involved inspite of repeated requests by call and mails. Go for this car only if you are ready to shell out a good amount for replacement of spares in the name of "wear & tear items" each time you go for service. In my case the spare replacement was not needed as I proved by driving a cool 9,000 km by not replacing spares which were recommended by the service advisor. It only proves the hunger of the service station to ensure higher billing - taking customers for a ride!! Areas of improvement NA.By far this is the most rugged car in this range; excellent driving experienceDealders take us for a ride while company looks on

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.

Volkswagen Polo facelift

By Selvin Jose21 Aug 2014

The Polo has been one of the most unfortunate victims of the Indian regulations because despite the build quality, great handling and contemporary European styling, the anorexic engines were a downer. It ended being an option in the premium hatchback segment instead of being an obvious choice. This is exactly what Volkswagen aims to change and has worked hard to iron out all the irregularities of the car with the facelifted Polo.
