Maruti Suzuki Wagon R [2006-2010] User Reviews

its one of the most sought after cars because it gives almost everything that middle income families could wish for the kind of money they can invest.

it has fairly good styling, but a little bit squarish. though this factor is a part of decision making but its not that important for people like us. comfort is good because of ample headroom and legspace available, though this is because of its being squarish. also, its lighter in weight as compared to many others in this category, and hence, a better performer in terms of fuel efficiency, easy manouvering, etc.

this car is recommended for those who are first time buyers and are not ready to invest in something that they would find giving lesser value for their money.

good value for the money investedbeing rather squarish

Its spacious and value for money till you actually own one and realise the deplorable quality of the basics under its good looking exterior , like Gearbox / transmission / egronomics / suspension / knocking at slow speeds. Its then you realise that its actually way overpriced.It is a terrible car for long drives or in slow city traffic where you constantly need to shift gears as the vehicle knocks even if you are in the right gear at slow speeds.Build quality is flimsy and rattles crop up in months . The suspension and the tiny wheels are very uncomfertable and hardly isolates you from the broken roads .Hyundai is far better in the overall quality front.This is Definetely not a car I would recommend to a friend. Its just a hype with low pricing and first time buyers dont realise it till they own one.Buy an i 10 , Santro or the Sparks,they are much better.Looks good in Black , Reliable , Spacious , EconomyHarsh ride over broken surfaces , Suspension thud's over big bumps, Gearbox and transmission Bad

 

Exterior Great Brave look.. I feel itz much better than Bue-eyed latest wagonR. Maruti must consider resuming second gen wagonR with K-series engine.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good headroom( i'm 6 feet tall. itz d only small car dat suits me) n Front visibilty. BAck seats r bit congested with less leg room.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox A brilliant engine with good performance, underpowered when using A/c with lpg. Giving me mileage of about 13kmpl in lpg(without a/c) n 16 kmpl in petrol (without a/c). Gear Throws r disappointing.. itz d Biggest disappointment in Wagon-R.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Smooth Riding car but cornering sshould be improved. i feel 15" tyres as dat of Ritz would have been a good option. Handling is also good.

 

Final Words A must buy Small Car for middle class family. LPG will save your money if u do over 20,000km per year. i'm using this car for past 4 years n i dont have any engine or service problems.

 

Areas of improvement Improve gear box n reduce long throws. improve plastic quality. consider 15" tyres. Height adjustable seats should be considered as many short people r facing problems with visiblity.

 

Good Design, Mileage, Ground clearance, Head roomlack of power, braking at high speeds, large gear throws..

This car is too amazing because I have also a wagonr vxi when driving this car it feels like driving a suv car because the body of the car is tall and for the tall people it is good to drive. This car is the perfect family car so from my side I want to advise you that if you want to buy this car than you choice and thinking is 100% correct. Go for it best car.

Hi I had purchased the wagon r vxi 2007 model in the year of 2012 , the vehicle was excellent and performance was superb, my evergreen memory of vehicle is once had been to hydrabad from bangalore the speed was at 160 and control was very easy to handle.. talking about service cost its around 3000-5000 for every 5000-10000 kms . due to my financial issues I sold it in the year of 2018 Sept. In over all 7 years once i had a battery problem, and only one puncher. very proud of Maruti suzuki and maruti Suzuki family.

The buying experience was very good??. The balance on the road is excellent. Looks are very smart, performance is excellent. Zero maintenance car. Driving for last 12 years. No problem until now.

Hi friends.....This is suggestion to all prospective buyers.

I happend to drive Wagon R of one of my friend. When I entered the car it seemed to me I have been packed in a box. Driver seat feel like there is a stool and I have to just drive it and car felt very toyish. When I tried to take reverse I was not able to get a clear rear view. I will not talk much about interior and all, it's to feel.

Whoever is planning to buy new car I will just suggest to just take a test drive of Palio, You will come to know what's difference.

Low turning radius,toyish make, poor seat

My father bought a Wagon R one and a half years back. We also have a Hyundai Santro at home. The one thing which struck me when I first drove the Wagon R was that the gear shift quality was absolutely terrible as compared to the Santro. One really has to wrestle with the gear shift lever to slot the car into overdrive.

Also there is a marked difference in the performance with the air conditioner running. This can be seen in the Santro as well but it is not as pronounced in the Santro as in the Wagon R.

Another thing which I don't like about the Wagon R is that the build quality is also poor as compared with the Hyundai's Santro. Within 4 months of owning the Wagon R it had more rattles than our then 4 year old Santro. 

Now coming to the good part about Wagon R, it gives better fuel economy than the Santro and the cost of servicing is also cheaper than the Santro.

Overall it has been a fair experience of owning a the Wagon R. But, living with the Santro has been a better experience than the Wagon R and if given an option I prefer to take the Santro over the Wagon R even though it is the older and is not equipped with a power steering which the Wagon R we own has.

Although now I don't think one should go with either the Wagon R or the Santro as better options are aviailable from both the manufacturers. Namely, A Star from Maruti and i10 from Hyundai.

Good Fuel Economy and extensive sales networkPoor Quality and Poor Gear Box

I searched here and there for reviews and read some valuable ones to decide investing my hard earned money in Wagano-R.
After driving it for FIRST MONSOONS, 6700 kms I am of the view..
1. Bad paint quality. Paint shows aging at some places.
2. Gear Play- Gear is like some 3 year old vehicle. It is too bad to feel even. Perhaps Maruti needs some R&D in gear issue.
3. Seppage of water - making a stinking smell like dead RAT. Driver side poetion is water logged in first monsoons. Dealer says this is defect from company in all vehicles. I saw swifts there...similar complaints.
4. Driver seast are not confortable to your spine. I am above six...have to think about doing something.

MY CONCLUSION: Never ever go for this option and if you are comparing INDICA. go for INDICA. It has improved a lot and no complaints from It's TURBO model.
I do not suggest i10 or Santro as space is big issue.
