I would strongly suggest not to buy the new Maruti Wagon R. I bought it in Diwali 2013, and in just about slightly more than a month, the window glasses started making noise. The body is very light, at the slightest touch while parking my vehicle (may be at a speed of 5Km/Hr) bumper got torn off. You can easily make out these while taking demo:
At higher speeds, car starts vibrating and also engine noise creeps terribly into the cabin. The engine is extremely underpowered, you can test it by starting the car and putting on the headlamps, then any activity like putting on power windows or even switiching on the hazard lamps would dim the headlamps considerably.
Maruti has dropped the quality of vehicles lately, as most of us know any Maruti vehicle, even the overly priced SX4 starts making noise and has problems like this. Maruti itself has shown inability to rectify these problems.
Don’t fall in for the cheap offers by Maruti, like Diwali or New Year discounts which effectively only would help you save Rs 20-25K as compared to car in the same range by any other manufacturer. Rather spend that 20K and go for a Hyundai or Honda make and be happy and trouble free for life. I became a prey to this offer and am deeply regretting.
