(VXI 28k more than LXI)

Extra features in VXI

1. Integrated music system (without USB)
2. All power windows
3. Key less entry
4. Front and rear fog lamps
5. Tilt adjustable steering I'm 6"1' so this is just mandatory for me. Don't know about you
6. Rear wiper with washer
7. Electronically adjustable ORVM
8. Body colored door handles
9. Parcel tray
10. Side body moldings
11. Rear cabin lamps
12. Front passenger under seat tray
13. Tacho
14. 12V socket

Highlighted ones are worth the upgrade. In my case they are a must.

Does it have ABS? If no then get it right away. Put that before integrated music system, fog lamps and everything else.

1. Integrated music system (without USB) Music system without usb isnt good

2. All power windows worth it

3. Key less entry highly usefull

4. Front and rear fog lamps again highly useful during winter and rainy season

5. Tilt adjustable steering again highly useful for big or small proportionate people

6. Rear wiper with washer not something that u cant live without, but still usefull

7. Electronically adjustable ORVM again a novelty

8. Body colored door handles Makes the car look good overall

9. Parcel tray

10. Side body moldings Usefull

11. Rear cabin lamps Trust me these are higly usefull

12. Tray under front passenger seat

13. Tacho i wonder y those idiots didnt include tacho on the lxi model

14. 12V socket highly usefull for all the casual needs


Except that Music system without USB all the features under 27 k is quite a good deal i must say...
so go for the VXI ....

No...it's without ABS

Please suggest color (very confused)

@ azzu
Thanks for the explanation

Which color looks gr8 on Wagon R ?

Oh yeah silver ofcourse. I am one of those, who consider white, not to be a colour.

wine Red is quite good (and quite common too)
but nothing beats executive black (dark black )

Any specific reason of buying Wagon R ? When you have many other better options available in market.

Based on my personal experience* (actually I also went through same dilemma), I do not think it is wise to waste money which are not going to be actually "used".

1.Music System w/o USB is clearly useless. I changed my brand new music system just because of this reason.
2.If you are getting only front power windows, it is more than sufficient if you do not have a big family.
3.Keyless entry is more a show-off than actual feature.
4.Do you live in foggy region? I never needed fog lamp.
5.I have driven various cars without adjusting their steerings. Not needed IMHO.
6.I felt need of a rear wiper only when it rains very heavily (I do not have it in my car), otherwise not.
7.Again, a luxury not requirement.
8.Nobody cares (you too won't) which color hadles you have in your car my friend.
9.Useful feature, can be installed later
10.ummmmm depends
11.Good feature, can be installed later
12.Good feature, can be installed later
13.ummmmm depends
14.Good feature, i do not know if you can have it installed later.
I know ABS can really prove to be a life saver in "that" situation ,but I never felt the need.

White is a royal color (Ford Figo looks sexy in white), but I don't think Wagon R will look good. Silver should be fine...

BTW I agree with Nemes!s, have you looked at other options in your budget? You can go for Figo ZXi IMO.

*I have both Wagon R (LXi) and Figo EXi

same question.. why wagonR... there are better options available

Check out this comparison and take your pick..
Car comparison
I would suggest go for i10, it is much better compared to WagonR, it offers more space, better mileage, great looks and service is also not a problem with Hyundai. A-Star, Wagon R and Zen Estilo all three comes with same engine but Zen Estilo and A Star offers more space compared to Wagon R.

guys please don't hate me for saying this, but I would go with Wagon R than i10 any day. My personal choice, I just don't like the shape/model of i10.

BTW new Wagon R is as zippy and great in handling as i10. I hope bajaj151 has already taken test drive of both of them.

i10 > WagonR imho.

We have both although WagonR is an older model.

No to A-star. Poor legroom for a tall driver and bootspace.

Strong recommendation for ABS despite you feel the need or not.

i know what iam talking is totally irrelevant but y not Beat diesel ? ( dunno y bt i have unconditional love for diesel cars)

My height is 5'11...I found Wagon R more comfortable compared to i10...&...I like the looks of NEW Wagon R....old one is dabbaaa
+ Maintenance & Spares cost of i10 is high compared to Wagon R...correct me if I am wrong

astar is also an option, i own an astar and it is a sweet car.... awesome handler!

I also prefer diesel cars for better mileage and cheaper fuel price and Beat is an excellent option but it is not as much spacious as WagonR.

Someone told me, when I was looking for a car for myself, that A-Star is for the intellectuals.
It has great features.

For intellectuals ???
dunno y he told u that

the new wagon r is a great car keeping in mind all new interiors , Great space and tall stance....
a simple well laid out design for an avg urban commuter..
(though i hate the new front air intake scoop)

I have Silky-Silver Wagon R but I dont like this color.
For me Wagon-R looks great in WHITE only.

Waiting for CSD to open Car sales....Will buy Wagon R White or Black

You can take a look on Brio also..
and If you are totaly pointed on the wagon go for the vxi in Black
wagon's chroming will highlight on it.
