Good family Car but powerless while A/C is on.

 

I purchased a VXi Wagon R just Two weeks back and I am happy that it was upto my expectations except some drawbacks and shortfalls.

 

Exterior The Front Bonnet and Front Veiw is excellent, looks like any other sedan car. Nice headlamp sets. But Rear appearance is still looks boxy type (manufacturer should considrer rear body style /view too), The Rear tyres along with the rear body looks as if the tyres have been mounted to a cart(not so stylish)

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior features are upto the mark, the Drivers legspace and the driving comfort is supurb rear seating is also comfortable. But the Storage Boot space has been compromised with rear seating space, hence it is very difficult to store any bigger cartoon/articles. The Rear PAssenger Seats need Adjustable Seat Tilting option as front seats. This will help to solve the luggage space problem as one can adjust the tilt of REar Seats as per the requirement accomodating the luggage at the same time.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The Engine is powerfull enough when A/C is switched off. On A/C the Engines begs for Power and looks like the car is just dragging not accelerating. Especially on ascending any fly over the cars looks to be loosing power and need to bought down to second gear for power while AC is on. TheGear box is another problem the same which I found in the most reveiws. The Gear Shifting is very Knotchy and the reverse gear is very difficult to shift often just stays neutral but rear horn blaring. over performance for Gear Box is not as smooth as Toyata I drove earlier.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Wagon R is really a city Car and very easy to handle in the crowded and heavy traffice with bikes and rickshaws around you.also the turning radius is very good. Good Power Steering and over all ride to my family members was awsome and smooth. But the car is not suitable for speeding looks as if it will overturn on curves specially.

 

Final Words Good Car with Value for money and lot more feature which other cars dont have only two problems:- 1. Power less. 2. Gear shift

 

Areas of improvement The Gear box needs to be worked on for smooth and Hassle free shifting.(specially REverse gear), The Manufacturer should consider Rear Exterior Stying. To provide Tilting option for the rear seats. to adjust them while passengers are seated and luggage as well be adjusted.
