मारुति सुज़ुकी वैगन आर [2006-2010] यूज़र रिव्यूज़

I have purchased Wagonar in March-2007. I selected this car because of its outlook.and features which are in luxury car. It is best car among small cars. It has exciting speed and pick up. On highway it is a comfortable drive and it really moves shaftly. I am satisfied with my car.After I purchased this car many of my professionals have opted the same.

I recently bought a Maruti Wagon R LXI CNG, to my horror the car turned out with faulty brakes. (The car doesn’t stop immediately on pressing the brakes & the brakes go right inside touching the floor of the car, which is very unusual in new cars) & the car doesn’t even stop immediately on applying the brakes every since am compelled to visit the service center every second day in order to get this problem rectified. Also my brand new car was in the service center for more than a week.

I don’t really blame the service center for this as they are trying their level best to help me & get this issue sorted; but I am extremely disappointed with Maruti’s irresponsible behavior as I purchased the car purely trusting the brand, but am left only with disappointment & discontent.

Delivering a car with faulty brakes not only speaks for the quality of cars made & delivered but also a very unpleasant customer experience. Aren’t the cars being QC before delivering them to customers? By this act Maruti is not only displaying unfriendly customer behavior but also an irresponsible act by risking pedestrian’s life with a car with faulty brakes, which cannot be ignored

I was looking for a small car under 5 lacs. Final shortlist had Wagon R and Santro. After taking test drives of both, main reason for rejecting Santro was that, my right hand was hitting the window every time I wanted to take left turn. Also, LPG option in Wagon R is more appealing.

Below are some of my observations:
1. Gear shift from 1st to 2nd can be hard
2. Also sometimes you have to try 2 times to engage reverse gear.
3. In LPG mode, in 2nd gear car really slows down on an incline.
4. Air-conditioner is awesome. Cools in just few seconds even when outside temp. is very high.
5. Suspension is good, could have been better
6  AC button light was not lit when AC was on. This has been fixed by dealer

My experience with wagon r has been excellent. I have been driving automatic cars for last 6 years. This is my first manual shift car and hence mileage could be lower than expected due to my driving. Hope it will get better after service and once I am expert at driving.

I bought this car last year, after almost 8 months of research. In my budget of less than 4 lakhs, I got a fully loaded car with superb boot space and additional perks like electronic rearview mirrors, rear seat light, pockets on all doors, etc Features you wont find in mid-size cars also.

Great experience for driver and co passenger. But the rear seat suffers due to its stiffness... not too comfortable for long drives. Also the model I got had the old rubbery gear shift, whih has been replaed in newer models.

The car has a certain persona of being "smart" and the "tall" driving experience make you (kind of) feel like you are driving a SUV. 😊

Its got good interiors, handles well, can seat 4 comfortably (5 is a lie) and has good economy. The suspension smothers bumps reasonably well for a small car ( no where near the palio). Its easy to maintain, offers good economy and good resale. The gearshift is vague and imprecise. But u'll manage if you are a sedate driver. The engine has a good torque spread so pulling off in lower gear is not a problem even with the a/c on. The EPS takes away from the steering feel, but then this is not a sports car and so is fine. It is this feature that is a boon in traffic. The A/C is great in summer. But the blower does announce its hard work at higher speeds. Best maintained at 2 mark for a quiet cabin.

I bought the car in 2006 May. Earlier I was using OMNI. The power and A?C provision made me go for Wagon R. I had two options. To go for Duo or to go for a petrol version. My daily travel is moderate. I had fuel consumption calculations based on my daily travel and the company specified fuel consumption. Over three years what I can save through fuel I compared with 1) the extra money I had to pay for Duo 2) The waer and tear of the engine and corresponding resale price loss after three years. At my use I therefore selected Petrol version. I am 64 years old. I do not have a driver. I drive the vehicle my self. Till today my running is +10000 km. The longest drive I had in this car was +3000 km Pune to Tirupati and back. At no time the driving became a tidious job for me.

Aboiut the night driving  I never developed fatigue. The braking system is highly reliable. The fellow riders never complained of geting exhausted. I have driven the vehicle in rainy season that to during night from Pune to Nasik. An enjoyable experience. My wife loves traveling in this car. Even my grandson prefers traveling in Wagon R comared to traveling in Honda City which is owned by my elder son. It is a nice experience to posses Wagon R.
