Suzuki Wagon R+ 2000-

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    For a Japanese car in this class, excellent. A genuine small family car, with serious load lugging capabilities and a tardis like interior, much better value than your typical small hatch.

    Costs

    5 out of 5 5.0

    42 MPG urban from a 1.3, this is diesel economy from a petrol, but not much better at 70 MPH + on the motorway due to its tall shape. DIY servicing easy & parts reasonable.

  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Superb once you've got going, but racy engine & light clutch make for a jerky start in 1st gear, but you soon get used to it.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Good turn of speed, but will comfortably drive in 5th gear at 25 MPH, giving a feeling that it needs another gear at motorway speeds.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    In short, absolutely bullet proof! Get a well serviced one and worry not, it won't let you down.

    If you are bothered about image in a car, you won't be reading this anyway.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Not plush, but a very comfortable driving position due to its height and four adults have plenty of leg and head room.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Immobiliser, but who the hell is going to want to nick one of these.

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    None, I either service myself or use an independent garage.

    Problems

    Engine

    Superb engine, but perhaps a little too high revving.
