I was waiting for its launch, desperately. Was dreaming of selling my 2007 Cultus and getting a wagon R. I assumed that I would get a modern interior and engine with power steering, windows and ABS in 8 lacs. Shape is odd, but I could live with that. God.... I got the interior of my Cultus cleaned for selling purpose. Since, Wagon R was supposed to replace Alto, so I really thought that in 8 lacs, we will get manual with all goodies and may be 9.5 max for auto and climate control.
April 18th was launch date and at 9:30 I was in the showroom after dropping my kid to school. Came back because they decided to put on display on 19th.
But sadly, after the prices, I woke up from my dream. I realized that I live in Pakistan. Did not even go for the test drive, because in this price package, it is definitely NOT a replacement for my Cultus.
However, if someone wants to buy a new car, I mean not replacement, then yes, Wagon R is a good option. Except shape and tires, its much better than Cultus.
Well played Pak Suzuki!!!!!
Good shape but old tech = Cultus
Odd shape and small size, but modern tech = Wagon R
Choice is yours.
I still have hope for V2 to come up with all goodies and power options close to 1.0 million. And what if I had to wake from the dream after FAW launches a shitty V2 in 1.0 million and loaded V2 in 1.3 million!!! Then I guess its better to join the rest, save for the GLI or City.
