    DRIVING:
    Few thousand kilometers
    The reason i happen to choose the WagonR was mainly because of it's height (tall boy) and the fact that it was a small car hence driving around inside the city limits would be a boon!! I bought this WagonR Glistening grey in june 2016. The variant i chose was VXi (O) (ABS & DUAL AIRBAGS) Costs a tad above 30k over the regular VXi; but it's worth it. Did have a test drive in the AMT but that was a nightmare thanks to the unresponsive Automatic gearbox. Hence decided to go ahead with the manual one itself. Riding Experience: I would say the ride quality is decent enough but nothing great or something spectacular to mention about. But then again other cars in it's segment aren't any better. (Do not know about the newly launched santro though) Looks & Performance. This is a simple;practical & No-nonsense car. Aimed purely in getting the best out of it. K series engine is quite smooth the gear shifts are pretty good. So nothing much to complain about. Till date have driven close to 20000 kms. Had an issue with the combination switch (Left hand side stalk that controls wiper) Which got spoilt last year. Service center say electrical have only 1 year warranty (Even though my car has 4 years of warranty.. i.e. 2 year Standard + 2 year extended). Did not want to argue or contact the customer care of Maruti for this. Ended up replacing it & costed around 1500 + labour. I am getting a fuel economy of around 13 - 14 in City limits and 17+ in highways. Servicing & maintenance has not been on the higher side; so pretty much happy with it. 10k kms Oil change service costed around 4k change & Routine service costed 2 grands. After owning for 2 years. Here is a list of pros and cons PROS: *Tall boy design makes it practical city car. Ease of Ingress & egress. *No major blind spots. Lots of glass area; makes it very airy and bright inside. *Thoughtful seat under tray. (Serves more like a secret compartment) * Generous space. * Large outside rear mirrors with electric adjust. * Tilt adjust steering wheel (Was not available in the previous versions) CONS * Useless door pockets. Makes it impossible to keep your water bottles anywhere!! * Suitable only for 4 people. * Small Boot space. * No height adjust driver seat. * Quality of plastics could have been better.
