My test drive of the Suzuki Wagon R

lol i quite agree, these small suzukis eventually do develop some heating issue after a few years. however the new civic doesnt have a heating gauge either

Omar bro you review is great you have covered almost everything here, i was thinking to buy this car but the absence of ABS, side view handle, airbags , rear manual windows, small tyres and expensive addons is not bearable i guess we can easily buy a good Passo , vitz in this range with the same fuel economy thanks

you're welcome bro. yes JDMs are a great option provided you get a non-accidented car and self import a car or buy a car from a known dealer who has imported a car within the past 3 months and has the genuine japenese auction report online (https://www.pakwheels.com/forums/spotted-crashed-wheels/224713-accidental-repair-japanese-660cc-cars) and it doesn't require any spares while its with you.. God forbid its involved in an accident, sourcing parts can be an issue. however our mechanics are good at repairing damaged JDMs and then selling them as 5A cars so i guess that can resolved provided you buy a car which is common here and half cuts are easily available in the car market

Omar bro.....

U have written a great review regarding Wagon R. I really appreciate ur review, I also drove the car as i was buying cultus from my office but now i am confused which one to buy, i tested the car but i found its more spacious, comfurtable but the only problem i found was the breaks i appled the emergency break and the car skids about 5 meters....

I think brakes should be as good as cultus ..nahn ????

The car is too tall- When you apply brakes, car's front lowers down resulting in better road grip while braking.

wagon-R n santro have same breaking system

[fazalwahab11375]

Saefty features as appear for wagonR on the east

because of the higher acceleration and speed of the wagon R, this car will be driven at higher speeds than the cultus. as the brakes are poor quality, this can be a major concern in the wagon R. while test driving this car, I was doing 80km/hr on road i usually drive at 50-60km/hr in my 660cc JDM

wow! it's strange to see ABS and airbags optional features on this international variant. so I guess paksuzuki very conveniently omitted these optional features

Can u give an idea of road grip, stability of Wagon R at higher speeds as compared to cultus or ur JDM Move?

after a few times it lowers down due to heavy beaking, it will permanently be stuck in that "front down, rear end up" position like an old toyota hilux thanks to it locally assmebled suspension

[himmi_Pak]

thanks for detail review n sharing

engine is excellent, its a shame that it isnt coupled with good ABS brakes

[omar_575]

its quite stable at 80 km/hr, and i find it comparable to my JDM move. however it can be improved by wider and larger tyres maybe

Hahaha^^^

I guess Cultus is heavier than wagon R. Thats y cultus is more stable and more road grip.....

Right now i own Honda city 2002 as well as Hyundai Santro 2000 model and i Swear it has the worst breaking i have ever seen. Santro always slips even on 60 km speed...... U can feel car is going out of control

If you won't maintain any car it would loose road grip like you mentioned above

I think for you a wagon R is a reasonable upgrade as a trouble free and cheap to maintain car, if you're willing to spend around 11 lacs on it.
