మారుతి సుజుకి వాగన్ ర్ [2006-2010] వినియోగదారుల రివ్యూలు

Frankly this was one car that I never liked, but after looking at the same range cars this was the best I was able to get. After the change in back appearence now it looks really nice.
Excellent choice for travelling with 4 for long distances.
Spacious,Comfortable to drive long,32Bit Power Steering,Nice mileage,Stable while driving at 110KMPHActually a 4 seater, No Speaker space, Avg Interiors, Rear seat not fully foldable like Santro

I read a lot of review on carwale before settling for a Pre-Owned Wagon R Premia in Feb 2009 after having to decide between Santro Xing, Indica Vista and Chev UVA. The vehicle had done 25,000 Km and I got it delivered from Mandovi after the Refab. After driving close 3,000 Km covering City Traffic, Laned Highways, Rural Roads, Terrains, Ghats and potholded roads in the last 3 months in sunny, rainy, dusty and windy weather, have to say that vehicle has not disappointed me one bit.  The service from Mandovi has been good thus far. The height of the car suits the aged with Knee problems, the reclining seats fits those with Backaches and the boot suits those with an appetite for luggage.  Having all the folks at home, the Wagon R Premia was an all round package.  I thank all those whose reviews helped me and hope my bit will help the rest looking for a all round package. - CA.Pawana.

Exterior I feel the new model is much better when compared with old wagon R especially early launch models. The side looks are great, styling of head & tile lamps are modern but I don't see any additional benefit with the blue eye (at front headlight area). It may look good with complete blue color paint but not with other colors.

CNG tank has been fitted at back; the parcel tray at the top of it completely covers the tank so that it will not disturb overall styling of the car. In fact you never know there is a tank at the back until you open the back dicci door. The chrome plate design with Wagon R name above the number plate gives more stylish look for back view.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The car has plenty of space on the inside. Coming to head, leg space I believe 70% people will give positive votes on this, tall people like me can sit comfortably. Even if you push the front seats completely back, 3 passengers at the back can sit comfortably with good leg space. Personally, I didn’t see this at i10 and Santro.  Another good feature is wide opening doors, old people can step out from car with ease. Dashboard design is nice. AC performance is really good; car can get chilled within 5 min even with 38-40 degrees of temperature at outside.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Maruthi WagonR CNG comes with K10 engine (998 CC) same engine used in new Alto K10. Initially car starts, moves with petrol and after that it automatically switches to CNG mode. Switch controls given to change these modes. If you completely dry with petrol, you can start the car with CNG but this should be used in emergency condition only. No hassles in changing the gears, very smooth. You can feel this comfort in heavy traffic conditions.

The most important factor is, fuel economy 2 times I had tested in CNG it is giving me around 22-24 with AC in city conditions (company says 26th with standard test conditions). Total CNG tank capacity is 10 lts. (Maruthi said 60 lts of water capacity). Once you fill the tank you can go 220KM without stop. So I am more than happy person.

Ride Quality & Handling Running the car in petrol mode is very good I mean pickup. Universal truth is engine power will be shared when you switch on the AC. Car was sluggish CNG with AC. same with petrol. Particularly in uphill areas, you can feel the difference. Generally in city conditions it is OK. I don’t know the technical term for car suspension, but it has good suspension system than I ever feel. Even in bumpy roads car crawls very smoothly. You can hardly feel trembling. To be frank I never crossed 85 KMPH so I cannot say the ride quality at higher speeds. Another good feature is 4M turning radius, very very very useful for narrow turns especially in city conditions.

Final Words It is a good family car, this is the only car which suits to my requirements (refer to my above post for list of my requirements). In general if you are looking at better mileage, good comfort, and less maintenance you can go for this. When you compare with petrol price CNG is now only 40Rs perLt. More over you are serving to our mother nature with Blue Eyed “Green” Boy.

Hi,

     This is Praman. I have driven the wagon R lxi aprox 200km of my uncle which is 2006 model.

.1. Very easy to drive and handle.

2. Very good Brakes

3. A car packed with numeros features.

4. Milage- 14-16 kmpl.

5. Ac not very effective.

6. Santro is better in pick up and comfort and ac cooling. but the milage is same.

Very soft touch, excellent features, Good looksMilage, Ac

The new version of maruti wagonr is very nice it is very much fuel efficient gives milage of 20 kml without A/C on highways,17kml with A/c and 13 kml with A/c in city.Due to its height of 1660mm without roofrail.Which makes it confortable.Driving comfort in wagonr is better than santro i have touched speed of 125 kml on Highway between indore and bhopal.Air conditioner is quite good.According to my opinion wagonr is better thgan santro.
Driving confort is good,Good fuel economy,Great balance.Less boot space,Bad design and Gearshift is not good.

The car has overall good exteriors with attractive tail lamps, bright headlamps, distinctive roof rails but I personally feel if the wheel size would have been a bit bigger to suit its tall boy design.

The dash board looks very ordinary and almost poor as compared to Hyundai i10 or Ritz. The rear seat is not very comfortable though the front seats have excellent leg space, stapney is poorly placed and takes a lot of space in luggage space making it very small which is because of LPG kit obviously. Door pockets in all 4 dors add to convenience and seat belts for all passengers add to safety. The RPM meter would have added more style to instrument panel. Also the vehicle is not good to accomodate 5 persons comfortably.  

 Engine delivers a very smooth driving experience, steering never goes spongy and I'd like to call it a silky smooth driving. Gear shifting is not good and I am facing continuous problems with reverse gear. Feul economy that I received yet is not more than 10 kmpl in LPG with AC. The petrol adds 2 more kms to the same. Not using the AC makes the difference again with 2 kms of addition in mileage. Car starts giving jerks after 2500-3000 kms of driving, in LPG mode. Engine also goes too dull with 5 persons and AC on.  

 Ride quality is good and smoothness in case of frequent services is good. Driving in city conditions is excellent experience as the car seems to glide even in the intense traffic. Over all comfort level is average.

 Thus investment in Wagon R Duo LXi is not a bad deal. Rather its a deal with true value for money if you are not expecting something really great. But the above mentioned points are also to be considered before making the purchase decision. There are better options in Maruti itself is you increase your budget slightly. 

 Maruti needs to work on the problem with LPG kit and styling of interiors which definitely have a good scope of improvement. Stapney better be mounted more thoughtfully and in the last, the gear shifting should also not be failed to made smooth. HAPPY DRIVING, HAPPY BUYING!!!😊

AC is efficient, responsive steering, smooth drivingpoor stability in sharp turns, LPG kit problems, poor gear shift, uncomfortable rear seats

Exterior

 I own a mettalic red Lxi for past 4 years, looks are really good, though it looks small from out side but bigger from inside

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Car is spacious for four, excellent leg space and head space for a 6 feet tall person like me on all four seats. very comfirtable to drive. i have driven 1000km non stop with very leass exertion. I am an Army officer and big black iron box is synonimous to us. I have frequently travelled with my wife , four months old daughter and six big peices of suitcase, rucksack, boxes and utilies in absolute comfirt without slightest of problem of space. The rear collapsable split seat gives you tremendous flexibility to adjust your luggage.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 On mumbai pune highway a santro tried to race with my wagon R. I coolely touched 170 kmph without a jerk and santro car was way behind not to be seen and mind you my AC was on.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Ride quality is superb and confirtable. Handling is as good as a car sgould have in a price tag of 3.5 lakhs

Final Words

Car is an excellent buy who have budjet from 3 -3.5 lakhs. Who want a car with power, fuel economy, less on maintenance, and excellent space for four. 

Areas of improvement  

 rear seats requires improvement for its comfirt, there is really no provision for speakers in my car. Maruti can really make good improvement on its upholstry and plastics.

Exterior

Wagon R looks kool, especially the tail lights & the front side. The New wagon R is much many times better in looks than the old one. Some may not like the design at first glance, but eventually you find it very alluring.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 the driver seat is very comfortable and so is the seat next to the driver. It goes back to almost 140degree which can make one very comfortable on long journey. The legroom is good but definitely not spacious for 3 people people on back seat.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

The engine is excellent, doesn't make any noise. Fuel economy is good, i get 16kmpl on highway and 14kmpl in city. Gear box is dissapointing. You will need some time to adjust to the gear box.

Ride Quality & Handling

 The driving experience is good because of the high seating for the driver. one can have a good view and control the vehicle very well. I used to laugh when ppl used to say it is th ebest car for driving in the city traffic but now i understand what ppl meant by having control while driving the car.

Final Words

Excellent car for city, even if you have to drive a lot daily. 

Areas of improvement  

 Gear Box needs to improved, very difficult to handle in initially. When the roads are not good or at bumps the back seat gets the feel.

Hi Friends,

This is Nishant. I am driving the Wagon R Duo Lxi from last 1.5 years. The car is very good in terms of looks, performance, milage. I got 12km/lit in petrol & 20km/lit in LPG. But my only concern for my car is that there is a slight vibration on lower the gears. In terms of we have experienced like tyre wobbling. This is only draw back for this car becuase of its tall boy looks. Otherwise this car is very good.

Thanks & regards,

Nishant Bhoi
