Wagon R

Breadcrumbs

A WagonR at heart with more practicality bunged in.

Comfort

A big improvement over previous-gen WagonR. Ride can improve, but refinement and wind noise has improved.
Performance

It won't give you much in terms of figures. But the new K-series engine is fun to rev and will keep you interested.
Cool

Despite all the improvements, it's still a box.
Quality

Won't make your heart skip a beat. Either way.
Handling

It's an improvement over the old Wagon R, but still not a driver's car by an age.
Practicality

With an extended wheelbase, legroom has increased, which is a big help. And it will still fit into tiny gaps. Boot is still not the roomiest.
Running costs

Runs on petrol, but is efficient, spares are cheap, and is one of the better buys if you don't want to spend much on a car
