Advantages: Compact and nippy, ideal for driving about town, excellent high driving position. Disadvantages: Can feel a little unsafe on corners if taken at speed.

This jeep like little hatchback is more than just a cheeky little box on four wheels. Despite it's fairly hard ride it offers the budget car buyer so much more than just another hothatch. With basic but not unpleasant trim and some noteable inclusions like cup holders, rear central 3pt belt and rear headrests the Wagon R is nothing short of a little dream for families in town. No need to power up a giant gas guzzling 4 by 4 that struggles to squeeze itself into a parking space every time you nip to the shops. The Wagon R brings you that high driving position but remains neat and nippy enough to transport you safely around and into any otherwise inadequate parking space without ripping a hole in your wallet the next time you stop for petrol. While limited on boot space there is still ample room for most daily essentials and for the larger load the rear seat will fold easily down. With average petrol consumption running at approx 40miles/gallon even with town driving its not difficult to see why so many of these little gems are appearing on our roads.
Advantages: Big car feel, small car price.Well finished Disadvantages: More expensive than others in class
...to my review for the Suzuki Wagon R+ 1.2.
If you're wondering why i am able to write reviews on so many different cars, its simple......
I've worked in the Car auction and Car hire business, so have driven too many cars to mention.
Ciao suggests being factual, so i'll use headings, and be as easy to understand as possible.
Reliability
This car is very reliable and Suzuki are making great efforts to ensure that their cars meet the same high standards ... ...the customer service skills of Suzuki dealers.Please refer to other reviews for info.
Security/Looks
Smart and stylish car with some neat lines-looks a lot less 'boxy' than others. I would suggest with any car that you fit a Thatchcam Catagory 1 Alarm (improves security and reduces insurance premiums!)
Features/Fuel Consumption
The suzuki has a good list of standard features,and provides good value for money.Resale is a bit iffy as Suzuki isn't ...

Advantages: Cheap to Run.Spacious.Easy to enter.Comfortable Disadvantages: Horn Button location.No interior light Switch
I had to buy another car because of my wife's bad back and the arthritis in my wrist. My other car being low down was difficult for her to get out of, and it had no power steering.I heard about the SuzukiWagonR quite by chance.1/2hrs.test drive convinced us that this was the car for us. Comfortable,nippy,easy to drive and park,easy to handle at all speeds. Plus with the rear seats folded down there was lots of space for carrying large objects. Also,insurance group 2.Low mpg and road fund license. Great forward vision, especially for country roads. With a good selection of accessories to choose from we soon had the car we had searched for. 14 months and 17,000 miles later we are still convinced that she is "The next best thing to sliced bread". Wouldn't be without her. For the price its very good value for the money. We like it!. ...
Advantages: Practicality, fuel economy, reliability, cheap insurance Disadvantages: Street cred
Originally this vehicle started life as a tax avoidance measure of Japanese origin in the format of the SuzukiWagonR. In its present format it carries the GM Vauxhall name with either a 1.0L or 1.2L engine.
I purchased this car as a second run around however it has become increasingly evident that despite comments it can attract, it is a well loved member of the family clocking up some 24000 miles a year. This may be due to the fact that it is frugal on petrol (40mpg around town) and one is guaranteed enough fuel to complete the journey over our other gas guzzler which is invariably running on empty.
The first aspect of note on getting into the vehicle is that you are at a substancial height advantage over many other road users. Even in the most depressing of traffic jams one is raised to a position of being able to see ...
