Ideal family car

This is my first car. As many, I was too confused between Wagon R, i10, Santro and new Estilo. Finally after a deep research and study, I chose Wagon R to be my first car. This is a real good family car. I would like to put in WagonR's adv. which I found:

> Very first, it's a Maruti product, which I believe is most reliable brand in India.

> It gives ample leg space both front and rear. Only if a 6ft kind a person sits in front and pushes back seat, leg space reduces for the rear passenger.

> Boot space is largest in its class.

> Comes with a 1.1 L engine which has a very low noise and is sufficient for everyday city drive. Even on highways, it can easily reach 130+ km/hr.

> There are many small pockets where you can keep magazines, toll receipts, coins, CDs etc.

> Driving is a real pleasure.  You can keep on driving for hours, no problem.

> Many say it is dangerous to take sharp turns in WagonR, but I have taken sharp turns with 80+ km/hr and felt no fear. Of course, don't expect a sedan's performance here.

> I went for VXi (top end) model, comes with front and rear fog lamps, rear defogger, front power windows, electrically adjustable OVRMs, beige upholstery, dashboard with RPM meter, boot light and other standard fitments. Fog lamps really help on night highway drivings.

> Only thing I got less than expectation is gear shifting. It is not smooth. Shifting from 2 to 3 is even harder.

> I experienced less effective braking in first couple of days, but after 500+- km run, I now feel braking is good. And after first servicing, it has improved.

> Power steering works very fine. I have heard problems with i10's power steering, so this is one of the reasons to choose WagonR.

> I bought my car from Chowgule, Satara Road, Pune. I got best service & good discount from the showroom and representative we spoke to.

Overall, it's an ideal family car / small car / first car. I am truly satisfied with my car's performance.
