REVIEW : I purchased a wagonR LPG fitted car-maruthi from Indus
Motors Muvattupuzha-Kerala.
Performance of the car is very very poor. Frequently breaking the air
filter cover and mileage getting 8kms/ litter really I am fed up with
this car. Now I remember that, how the best performance was my old
maruthi 800.
Since two years completed still the service engineers cant find the
problems and rectified.
I am thinking about to change my opinion about maruthi cars and
recommend my friend to another brand car.
I was thought about the Indian product cars will be the best and
company can provide the best service. Unfortunately my bad luck to
purchase WagonR car.

car. Driving comfort is way better than any cars in this segment. Space
Space and Space everywhere. Mileage around 18kmpl on normal roads. Gear
shifting is very smooth (atleast after 1st service) pickup is awesome.
A/C is ok (it stopped working and i had it repaired at MASS). overall a

REVIEW : Hi.I must say that I am the proudest owner of my Black
Wagonr lx. I bought this car on 28 feb, 2005. I went through all the
reviews about wagon r(all models) and then thought that I must share my
experience with you. I own four cars- Baleno, carburettor zen, wagon-r
and a A/C800 Deluxe. Let's talk about wagon-r in this segment and then
you can see my comments for my 800 in the 800 segment reviews.
After reading all the reviews of wagon r, I am proud to say that I get
the maximum average out of a wagon-r in the entire India. I get 19.37
mileage in traffic roads of Delhi and 21 on highways at a constant speed
of 140km/h.Can you beat that? Now there are reasons why my car is so
happy with me. I BET IF YOU TAKE MY TIPS, YOUR WAGON-R HAS TO GIVE YOU
THAT KIND OF AVG.--------
- IF YOUR CAR HAS BEEN STANDING FOR A LONG TIME, ALWAYS LEAVE YOUR
ENGINE TO WARM UP AND THE TEMPERATURE NEEDLE TO COME IN THE MIDDLE
OF H AND C.THIS IS THE FIRST THING TO BE DONE EVERY MORNING YOU TAKE
HER OUT. WHY TO DO THIS??? BY THIS PRACTISE YOU ALLOW THE ENGINE OIL
TO CIRCULATE IN THE ENTIRE ENGINE. IMAGINE YOU STARTING THE CAR IN
THE MORNING AND THE ENGINE OIL IS ALL COOLED DOWN AND YOU START
RUNNING THE VEHICLE. THE PARTS OF THE ENGINE NEED TO BE OILED BEFORE
YOU START RUNNING HER.
- NEVER PULL HER UP IN THE 1,2,3 OR FOURTH GEAR. IF YOU PULL UP THE
CAR IN THE 1,2, GEAR THEN YOU WILL BE PLAYING WITH CRANK AND PISTON
AND IT MIGHT BREAK SOON. ALSO REMEMBER IT IS NOT A SPORTS CAR THAT
YOU SHOULD PICK HER UP IN THE 1,OR THE 2 GEAR.
- I HAVE DONE A COMPLETE 168KMP/H ON MY WAGON-R WITH AN AVERAGE OF
21. DOES THAT SOUND UNUSUAL. SURE IT DOES. BUT HOW DID I DO IT. THE
BEST TRICK OF THE TRADE FOR RACING THIS CAR---- RUN HER VERY
SMOOTHLY WITH VERY SMOOTHE GEAR SHIFTS TILL THE 1,2,3,AND THE 4
GEAR. REMEMBER YOU DON'T NEED TO PRESS THE ACCELERATOR BUT JUST KEEP
YOUR FOOT ON IT. THE MOMENT SHE TOUCHES 40 KMP/H, SHIFT TO 5TH GEAR
AND PRESS THE ACCELARATOR TO THE FULLEST. THE MOMENT YOU PRESS IT
DOWN ON 5TH GEAR AT 40KMP/H TILL THE MAXIMUM SPEED YOU ACTUALLY
ALLOW THE COMBUSTION AND HEAT TO BUILD UP IN THE ENGINE AND THAT
ALLOWS YOU TO REACH THE MAXIXMUM SPEED IT HAS TO OFFER YOU. BUT IF
YOU PRESS THE ACCEL ON EVERY GEAR AND PULL HER HARD , YOU CAN BET
ANYDAY THAT IT WILL NOT TOUCH 168KMP/H AND NOT GIVE YOU THAT KIND OF
AVERAGE ANYDAY.
- MOVING OVER TO MILEAGE.----MY USUSAL MILEAGE IS 19.37 WHICH IS
CONSTANT AND THAT'S IN PETROL BECAUSE I DONT HAVE ANY OTHER VARIANT
AND MY AVERAGE DOES NOT VARY. THE REASONS WHY I GET THIS KIND OF
MILEAGE IN DELHI TRAFFIC ROADS-----NO MATTER WHATEVER SPEED YOU ARE
TRAVELLING AT, JUST DONT PRESS THE ACCEL ONLY GIVE A SLIGHT TAP ON
THE ACCEL. IF YOU RUN YOUR VEHICLE AT 150 KMP/H AND STILL WANT A
GOOD AVG. THEN THE TRICK IS THAT JUST KEEP THE ACCEL WHERE IT
REQUIRES TO MAINTAIN THAT SPEED, DONT KEEP ON PRESSING THE ACCEL. BY
THIS PRACTISE YOU WILL ENSURE THAT THERE IS CONSTANT FLOW OF FUEL
AND NO VARIANCE. THE OTHER REASON WHY I GET A GOOD AVERAGE IS
BECAUSE I ALWAYS WARM UP MY CAR ON IDLE IF THE TEMPERATURE NEEDLE IS
ON COLD. THIS HELPS THE ENGINE OIL TO COME UP. HENCE IT'S TOTALLY
WRONG TO SAY THAT TO GET A GOOD AVERAGE YOU SHOULD DRIVE THE CAR
BETWEEN 45-55KMP/H AND I CAN PROVE THAT WRONG ANY DAY IN MY CAR.
- THE AIR- CONDITIONING OF THIS CAR IS EXCELLENT ONLY IF YOU KNOW
HOW TO USE THE A/C OF A SMALL SEGMET CAR. OPEN ALL THE WINDOWS AND
RUN YOU A/C/ ON MAXIMUM SO THAT THE COOL AIR CAN BRING UP THE HOT
AIR INSIDE THE CAR AND THROW IT AWAY FROM THE WINDOWS. DO THIS FOR
2-3 MINUTES AND THEN ROLL UP THE WINDOWS AND BRING THE FAN SPEED TO
2 AND ENJOY THE CHILL FEELING.
- MY WAGON-R DOES NOT GIVE ME ANY PROBLEMS IN GEAR SHIFTS COZ I
MAKE SURE THAT I PRESS THE FULL CLUTCH AND I KEEP MY HAND VERY SOFT
WHILE SHIFTING THE GEARS. HEY!! DON'T FORGET TO CHANGE YOUR GEAROIL
AFTER EVERY 10,000 K/M
I have done 44,000 km/s In this car and it's doing excellent. I
take it to Shimla and my car can easily climb the hill in 4th gear only
if I don't have to break the speed in the middle. The handling and
maneuvering part can be rated 7/10. As the car has height and is light
wieghted.
FEW MORE TIPS FOR YOUR ENGINE'S LONG LIFE.----USE CASTROL MAGNATEC AS
YOUR ENGINE OIL AND TRY NOT TO CHANGE THE BRAND. FOR GEAR OIL YOU SHOULD
USE SERVO AND JUST TRY TO FILL IN PETROL IN YOR CAR FROM 1 PARTICULAR
PETRO PUMP RATHER THAN TESTING ALL PUMPS. SERVICE YOUR CAR AT 10,000 KMS
AND CHANGE THE GEAR OIL IN EVERY SERVICE. CHANGE YOUR SPARK PLUGS AFTER
EVERY 20,000 KMS. DO NOT LET ANYONE TOUCH THE SENSORS OF YOUR CAR WHICH
ARE LOCATED ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE AIR FILTER BOX. THIS IS VERY
SENSITIVE AND IS COMPUTER OPERATED BY A 32-BIT E.C.M. THE ENTIRE CAR IS
CONTROLLED BY THIS ECM SO PLEASE DO NOT ALLOW ANY MECHANIC TO TOUCH
THIS.
Few important reminders again-----Dont push the accelerator on any gear
but just keep it wherever you require it to maintain the speed AND
ALWAYS SHIFT TO 5TH GEAR AT 40KM/H. Also dont forget to warm up the car
if the temperature needle is indicating cold.
My car is so smoothe to run and anexcellent drive. I have driven this
car for continuous 16 hours on highway and i must say what a wonderful
experience.
Since I happen to know a little too much about this car so if you want
any further tips or have questions or you want me to show you a demo
practically in your car then you can always email me at
markmatthews123@yahoo.co.in and the better thing to do will be to
contact me on my cell at 9990007873.
Just before I say good bye, here's another shocking news for you---With
the above mentioned racing tricks I have defeated a scorpio, honda
civic,sx4,swift,honda city(2008 version)and lancer with a 800 and on my
wagon r as well. So if you don't believe me then just call me and I will
make it happen infront of your eyes.

REVIEW : Wagon R Complaints - Unsatisfactory service by M/s.
POPULAR VEHICLES & SERVICES Ltd, KILLIPALAM, TRIVANDRUM, KERALA.
Sub : Customer Dissatisfaction
Ref :- WagonR Duo KL 01 AQ 4033
First of all before writing my complaint I am very sorry to inform that
myself and my family members have lost our trust in Maruti because of
the Unsatisfactory service given by one of the Maruti service dealer
M/s. POPULAR VEHICLES & SERVICES Ltd., as we all are using Maruti
Vehicles for a long time but for the past three years the approach from
Popular are making us to believe that its better not to take any Maruti
Vehicle in future and also as a Media person the attitude from them make
me to advice others not to think for Maruti products.
With the ref: above, Its my humble request to look forward the matter.
From the very first time itself they are not keeping their commitment,
refer my complaint registration dt: 10th April 2007 at Maruthi Udyog
regarding the delay of delivering my vehicle. This is a good example
that I can show about there bad dealings, when I registered a complaint
they gave the car on very next day ie: on 11th April 2007 without delay.
Then after this incident also all the service including car washing till
date was done there, still this time they are not keeping loyalty in
there services. The complaints mentioned are still existing as follows:-
- The missing problem on LPG gas: - While driving in LPG I face
some missing but when I shift to petrol mode the car runs properly.
- Steering Lock during long drive (Major issue) I have given it on
8th July 2009 and delivered on 10th July 2009, but still the
concerned complaint was exits. Then I informed Mr. Sankar Babu,
Customer Service Manager. The next day he came with a technician for
a test drive and said that the problem is damperring, and it can be
rectified by adjusting and on 13th July 2009, they had took the car
for correcting this. By noon I had a test drive with Mr. Sankar Babu
and the technician, during that time I felt it was ok. From the next
day onwards the same problem occurs and when I spoke to Mr. Sankar
Babu, he told it will get corrected after a long run. But its still
exits after a long drive. I think they are waiting to expire the
extended Warrenty (60,000km which is near to reach), to start the
major work.
- Washing :- During the last time, I found that the car was not
properly washed and I showed the dirt to them by removing the press
type wheel cup in front of the supervisor. They are taking the
cleaning towel from the customers vehicle in every service, even if
not for washing service. It shows that the service centre is not
looking after the car, to get a better service, I called to Maruti
call center on 23rd July 2009 (Toll Free No: 18001800180) and spoke
to Mr. Kishan and he took my mobile no. and promised me that
somebody would be calling me at the earliest (Complaint NO:
6402096631). But till now there is no call.
Waiting for your positive & immediate response Jeeja Nadeer

REVIEW : My White Wagon Duo has done 2600kms in 1 and a half
months,ever since i got him on August 1st 2008. This is a practical car
for big built and tall people like me,who need not crawl into even 3
times more costlier cars than the wagor r. I am running it on Gas only,
with a boffling mileage of 15.6 with semi-A/C running im so glad and
happy cos i never made a mistake, but worth the cost for the car. As
what the MUL engineers keep saying, Handling the car with lesser
gearshifts and keeping up with the power of the engine really gives a
wonderful mileage. i can confidently say that my duo would touch the
17.5 km mark for petrol. I have never driven this car on petrol and i
find gas to be smooth on the engine. I believe after 3000kms the engine
would get set for gas, for what i am patiently waiting for. Service with
ABT coimbatore is too good. AC is very nice and powerful. My piece of
advice to my friends would be- Once u start your car in the morn, let it
run for 2 to 3 kms while the orange light blinks, on petrol and after
that sufficient lubrication of petrol in the pump a slight acceleration
would change over to gas. I was told thats how a gas car should be
handled for a longer engine life. I never switch the gas switch to
petrol or gas (up n down). Its a cute car. fantastic EPS and 1060 cc
power. This is our familys fourth wagon R. The duo stole my heart. I
love my duo.

considering ZEN, INDICA TURBO/ DICOR, i10...but guys I am sorry- this
vehicle is all good in words. First monsoons in Punjab and whole water
has come up in driver seat...when i went to the dealer...they show me
lines of cars..even SWIFT and declared that this is big problem and you
have to leave car here and we will see to it. I came to this
understanding that after sale-service of Maruti is not as pro as it
should be and if there is any manufacturing defect- it should have been
looked into. Paint quality used in WAGON-R is also very low.

REVIEW : i had purchased wagon r on 7th may 2008 from millenium
mobility pune. Earlier we visited them on 4th to take a test drive of
the vehicle. We were being told that there is wagon r duo available for
test drive. We booked tickets from mumbai to pune to go and take a test
drive of wagon r lxi duo. On visiting there we found that there is no
vehicle vehicle available for test drive. We clarified the same in
mumbai and there is wagon r lxi duo available for test drive for
customers. This is nothing but a fraud and cheating with customer. Also
we gave them 2nd option to give us a trial of the vehicle which we were
planing to book. During that time we had paid the full amt but vehicle
was not registered on us. Still the dealer refused. This is a clear
indication of cheating with us and i am sure that my new vehicle will
give problems in future for above scenario. Kindly look into this matter
immediately the same is forwarded to maruti udyog on
contact@maruti.co.in.but no reply otherwise the case might be more
serious do reply.

REVIEW : Hi, I bought Wagon R Lxi a year and a half back and so
far so good with some minor problems. The mileage has been good in
highways around 16 KMPL and city quite not good around 13 KMPL. 2
problems I faced/currently face are [1] Windshield - It is not anti
glare - I am getting a scattering when an opposite vehicle comes..
Sometimes I cannot see anything, which makes me blind. I changed the
windshield but the new one is also the same. I tested my eyes and they
are fine. My friends who drove the vehicle also complained the problem.
[2] When AC is on, the pickup is poor. I tried to tune it during service
but of no help.

REVIEW : Hi you wagon R owners, the wagon R has a problem with
the clutch assembly and MUL have a policy that if the customer doesn't
complain, don't bother fixing it so your dealer will do nothing about it
if you do not take it back and report it. There is a service repair
action for this problem from MUL. Driving with the shift problem will
only spoil the gearbox in the long run.

great AC, very smooth power steering. Gave 17 kmph on highways and 13-14
kmph in city - with AC on. I loved this car and suggest its worth every

slight issue with stability while turning at high speeds like 100
kmph (otherwise I never felt any issues).

REVIEW : For all those who have mentioned the problem with
shifting to reverse gear, let me emphasize on the fact that it is not
just the WagonR but any car with a manual gear that will behave this way
as its a known problem. The best way to overcome this problem is when
you are unable to shift to reverse,get the lever back to neautral
position and release the clutch once. Press the clutch again and engage
to Reverse and there you go....! Try this and am sure there will not be
more comments on this problem.
And this is what my service advisor too advised me when I approached
him with this problem

offered and I must say has had quite a success in all the markets in the
world. Sold in Europe with a Vauxhall Badge and other places as a Chevy.
Its roomy, bright and a good choice for first time buyers. It has a no
non sense and eager 1.1 liter petrol mill, very frugal in nature when we
speak of a car like this running in town with four passengers and AC
switched on. Best part is that it still commands a very nice resale
value. Over 3 years and 80000 kms this will still leave you with 55 - 60
% of your initial spending. You may change the body shape, but MUL,
please don't do a Zen Estilo to the Wagon R. I hope MUL realises that
some products are liked for their sillhuotte as well as its virtues...
Only drawback - Its very FLIMSY !!

REVIEW : Its a stable car, & its tall seating position gives
a good control over it as well good view of the road. There is lot of
space for your accessories like cups, goggles and other stuff. Engine
gives very good response. Overall it is very good car. But one thing I
must say, now this is the right time to change the body shell before it
too late.

REVIEW : I had purchased the New look WagonR VXI, in Jan 2007. I
am extremely satisfied with the performance of the car. Its a perfect
elegant and executive car for Mumbai's city driving conditions. Good leg
room for all four passengers and sufficient boot space as well. Response
to acceleration is good. Mileage in the city driving conditions is
approx 13 kms with AC. Clocked an average of 17 kms during a long drive
from Mumbai to Nashik with family. Maruti after sales service is
excellent. Value for money car for a young family of four.

REVIEW : i own a maruti wagonR jan 2007 model. its overall a
nice car to have and the full return for the money paid. nice steering,
nice seating, nice driving position, nice cabin space, nice styling and
nice car to be modified. its like a heaven to sit in it and to fly it
just pressing the pedal and switching it to the gears. no problem
wheather you are in city or highway. i had driven it to top 140 in 5th
and least 20 in 4th gear and i felt no problem no hazel. maruti has
really done good for its interiors but ya heaslighrs looks a bit odd but
once u are habitual for it, its the most pretty car for you. i really
love my black beauty.

REVIEW : I have recently purchased a Wagon R Lxi. However I have
problems with the gears usually the 2nd gear. What I wish to know is
whether this problem will continue or gets better with use. Maybe I will
get used to it.
Also when i shift from 3rd to 4th gear I feel a percetible loss of
power.
Still overall I feel I have made the right choice.

REVIEW : I bought a WagonR Duo last month... Still getting used
to my first car... Though its too early, my first experience with the
car was good... Good seating comfort and leg space for driving
comfort... Power steering is awesome... But the only complaint I have is
with the gears...Switching from second gear has been a problem and not
to forget the reverse gear... If Maruti can work on these things and
rectify the problems, I feel it would be a pleasure to own a WagonR.

REVIEW : I wanted to purchase this car but I am sure I will not
go for it even if everything is fine. Has anybody seen its look? It does
not look like car at all, just like a Maruti Omni...And its front bonnet
looks like "Pitara", no good car lover love this shape at
all...I hate bloody this shape and also people inside it...I have also
checked hidden psychology of people, all are hating this shape even
owner....So even if you have budget, please do not go for this Pitara
circus car.....

REVIEW : Over all a good value for money, As most others in this
site have experienced, The gear shifting, particularly the reverse is
cumbersome. After reading so many reviews I realised that it's a generic
problem and not specific to my vehicle,Power Steering is quite
responsive and smooth, you feel the lack of power on fourth and fifth
gear.

REVIEW : MY SUGGESTION
You have introduced Wagon R duo ( Petrol + LPG ), without reducing the
original petrol tank capacity.
ESTEEM is highly successful car in all times. Why not you make it more
consumer friendly and economical ---------- It is suggested that you
should introduce Esteem duo [Petrol + CNG (14 KG maruti factory fitted
tank]without reducing the existing petrol tank capacity in all models.
I am waiting for this car.

months,excellent car especially for weekend drives, good mileage 14 in
city and 18.5 long distance, only problem i am facing is the reverse
gear which doesn't engage in the first attempt, my service centre
Pratham Motors, Bangalore is unable to rectify this during my last 4
visits, otherwise i love my wagonR.

REVIEW : A nice car overall(look, Size..) Enough head &
legroom in the front... would have cherished a little bit lateral room
in the back..but nevertheless, it's fine!!
I simply love those extra room for cups, cans, goggles & umbrella..
a great utility to have in any car. In Calcutta roads (a mix of city and
highways), I'm getting an average of 13.5 - 14 KMpL with the AC kept on
occasionally. Nice gears, excellent EPS.. good view of the road from the
driving position... overall, I would definitely recommend WagonR as a
city car.

REVIEW : I own a wagon R. Its a good car at first. Since wear
and tear my floor carpets have been slightly torn. As such I could not
find any with the dealers at Siliguri and gangtok. The way of cleaning
dirts inside the car as offered by Maruti is just hopeless. They blow
air instead of vacummizing. Blowing of air just dislodges the dirt to
spread it to the every nook and corner of the inside of the vehicle. Do
you also think the same to clean the car. Some sort of vacumm cleaners
should be given as free accessories instead of gold coins etc. Reply
awaited. Facts and figures help to promote the business of the compony
not false praises. I too love maruti vehicles than any other Indian cars
but the way of its servicing is not that satisfactory as already stated
as an example of blowing air inside the car. More facts after I receive
any replies from MUL.

Suggestions: Power window on all the 4 windows and an internally

city driving.

POSTED ON : June 7, 2006
REVIEW : The car is pretty good overall. There seems to be
sudden tiny bursts of acceleration or drop in power when accelerator is
kept pressed with a constant force. Dont know whether this is because of
petrol quality, onboard comp making adjustments or change in road
slopes. I had the same experience with a Maruti 800. Does anybody know
if this is because of MPFI TECHNOLOGY ?Never had this with a 98 model
carburetted Zen. That car was a PLEASURE to drive.

REVIEW : Comfort drive with good mileage
i purchased maruti wagon-r lxi on 12th august 2005 from sai service,
lower parel, mumbai. now till this date no any major problems arised.
after sale service is also good from sai services. till this date there
is running 12000 km. some suggestions as follows may be useful to other
wagon r owners. for good mileage - 45 to 55 kmph speed, in 5th gear or
steady speed on 4 th and 5 th gear. i got maximum average as 24 km on
mumbai-goa road from mumbai to khed-bharana naka.
gear experience - good. some time reverse gear not operate
instantaneously. otherwise gear operates good. medium smooth. hilly area
driving - good for climbing, use 3 rd and 2 nd gear but on 4 th and 5 th
gear also climb normal steepnes. steady speed should use. other wise
mileage will down.
in city area - use minimum gear change. drive 3 rd or 4 th gear in
normal traffic like mumbai. but not in mohammad ali road`s terific
traffic. otherwise there will be loss of milege.
on bad stony road - driving on 2 nd 3 rd gear. steady accelration. on
dusty or sandy road - go 4 th or 5 th gear no problame but when there is
climbing put 2 nd gear. more steepy in dusty and stony hill drive 1 st
gear and then use 2 nd gear after soft road appeard.
maximum speed and good average - can drive smoothly on 120 kmph but
milege will down in steady speed of 120 kmpl also. do not continous on
this speed. for safety and good mileage drive 45 to 55 kmph steady speed
is perfect. and will be good for long journey also.
with ac - ac picks more power and got powerless driving particularly on
hilly roads, pikup goes less, use ac regulator changing for 4-5 minutes.
in city. on highway put ac regulator medium leval. will got the milege
in ac for 45 to 55 kmph speed nearly 14 to 15 kmpl.
speedometer - not good visual when driving. other wise driving
condition is very good. can drive non stop 4-5 hrs. very comfortable
driving climate. seating arrangement - very very good for 4 person with
driver. total experience - very very good
avg. mileage can get in city with ac 14 without ac 16, highway - with
ac 15 as per steady speed of 45 to 55 kmph. without ac can get mileage
20 to 24 kmpl. steady non inturpting speed of 45 to 55 kmph.

REVIEW : Excellent city car. i bought an LXi in Oct,2005.Wanted
a compact car to tackle Mumbai city traffic. Happy with overall
performance. Maneouverability, ease of driving, parking, comfort, all
good. Best of all convenience - of a compact but spacy car with good leg
room and good boot space.good for weekend family trips as well.
Braking, suspension, avg of 10-11( with AC - mumbai city), not
excellent but def.comparable in the segment.
Sales and after sales very good so far from Sai Service. no real
problems so far. Two services completed satisfactorily.
All in all, definitely good value for money. i would say, ideal city
car.

REVIEW : Its tall seating position gives very good view of the
road and the surrounding. There is lot of space for your cups, goggles,
camera, coins and other such stuff. Engine is very responsive. The EPS
is great, its fun to drive. It gave me 17 km/L on highways with mostly
a/c ON but with temp knob at minimum cooling. At the higher fan speeds
it blows sound. The car is very stable up to the speed of 90-100. But
above 120, I never felt comfortable, even on pune-mumbai expressway! Its
not a car for high speed driving. I found it is very good and
comfortable on typical countryside bad roads.
The side mirror is very inconvenient to adjust. They should provide an
internally adjustable one.
Overall it is very good car. Great blend of fun, fashion, practicality
and value for your money. I strongly recommend this car. The maruti
service experience is also very good.

REVIEW : If you are Tall and heavily built, this is definitely
the car for you. Much more leg room than any other car in its class for
the drivers. EPS gives effortless driving pleasure. I have completed
5000 Km's now without a single hitch. Gear shift is little notchy with
long throws, but definitely value for money car. Milage with low A/C in
Bangalore is 11.2 KMPL. In Highway it gave me around 16 with A/c.
