WORSTLY DESIGNED!! THINK 3 TIMES!

 

Dear All, I HOPE YOU WILL FIND MY REVIEW HELPFUL BEFORE GOING FOR THIS CAR!!

Let me tell you my views about this car Frankly..!! 

I have never liked the external design of this car, however still I bought it. Why is this so I will tell you.

We are a simple middle class family from Mumbai who can just afford an entry level new car.  So before purchasing the car I was very passionate and I had made lot of search on net and with persons etc.  This is our very first car. So we wanted the car.  Hence we searched many cars, but since as I told you all that its our first car..everyone told us that you are a very small family of 3 members so go for a small car and Main Thing is that if this is your first car then Definelty go for Maruti Suzuki Car Only!!  and this was told us not only by few ppls but approx about 80% ppls.  So we have made 1 thing sure that now we should go for Maruti Car only.

Once our Brand is decided then, personally speaking I was fan of the New ESTILO...I just loved the looks of the car..very great and looked like the mini Innova.  However on one day I visited to Maruti Showroom and sat on Estilos rear seat and found that the seat is pathetic not at all comfortable.  I am a little fat person and 5 feet 9 inches in height, my legs were touching to front seats back side..and it was very diffucult to seat 3 ppls like my size on back seat.  So Then and There only we Rejected the Estilo from our mind.

Now we started looking at other cars in that showroom..see how was our response

Alto: Never our choice

Astar: Out of budget

Estilo: Why rejected I just told u above

Swift:  Out of budget

Ecco: Not our choice

So dear all...only car remained was WAGON R....!! so my Wagon R was not because of Choice but because I had not any other option!!

But Wagon R surely provided me the Good Rear Seat Space which can take 3 ppls like me comfortably and without touching my knees to front seats back side. So We Booked our New Wagon R. Firebrick Red Colour (color was my mother's choice). I have never liked the design of the Wagon R of Old and Even the New Model's also.

Exterior Firstly..Wagon R (old and new) I nver liked d design. Only good thing is that the front looks are improved in New Wagon R and which are surely good. But..But...But.... they AGAIN INCREASED THE HEIGHT OF THIS CAR....why why?

Really Why Maruti has increased the height of this car in new model when it was alrealy known for its Tall Boy Shape?  Now is you see the car from sideview it gives u good look till mirrors but from mirrors to end of this car is pathetic look.  Just like a box has kept.  I really dont know why this Maruti Guys not making a dramatic change in looks of the wagon R as they have made in Zen Estilo?  I am sure they could have made a car with decent curvey look with keeping the height of the car same as older model. 

Frankly Speaking the Car is surely NOT EYE CATCHING...

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) HERE IS MY BIG BIG AND BIGGEST PROBLEM!!! The Dashboard Height is THE PROBLEM!!  The dashboard is so heighed that its really difficult to take the judgement while driving in the city like mumbai in bumper to bumper traffice. They made the dashboard height tall but not the seat height!!

I am 5'9" person still I am facing such problems. What about the drivers which are shorter than me? and I sure that my height is not short i am only 3 inches short for 6 feet height. So what Maruti Guys expecting? is they expect that the Wagon R is Tall Boy shape car so Driver will be 6 feet and above?  If is it so then its incorrect thinking of maruti ppls.  becoz in India all know that ppls are around 5.5 feet tall and not only tall ppls but the wagon r but many ppls purchase it since wagon r has itself became a brand.

So this clearly shows I am very much disappointed by the dashboard height and the driver seat is not height adjustable. Frankly speaking before buying the car these small small things are surely not come if First Time Purchasers mind. So reader pls use my advice. Plastic Quality and seat are good.  Dual tone interior gives good looks.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is good. Engine is responsive quickly. Smooth ride quality. No noice of engine. I have driven 2000 kms and so far so good engine performance

Fuel Economy is good:

City: 14 with AC

Highway: 18 with AC

Ride Quality & Handling Ride Quality is good, Effort less driving handling is smooth. Steering wheel is good size, not very small not very big and even not very thin and thick also. Its perfect steering wheel

Final Words Technically Car is good.  But Dear ultimately it makes u tired after city driving in Mumbai. I have driven old Zen and new Hyundai i10 of my friend. Both gave enjoy while driving and not made tired. So thing 3 times before going for this car.  Since What Maruti Has did is. They have fitted a same Engine in all the cars. Alto K10, Estilo, Wagon R, A-star etc only looks and chassis are different.  So think on the comfortability of your car. Check whether it gives you nice feeling while driving or makes u tired.

My Suggestion would be. When you will buy any car.. or when u decide finally over a particular car then drive that car at least for 40 kms. Find your any friend any relative having the same car and drive it and then go for the final decision. So you will Not Regret your decision as I am feeling.

Areas of improvement A lot.. Dashboard height should be minimized, seat height adjustment shd be given, and overall looks shd be improved.
