Depreciation is fairly steep and heavy discounting is rife. Almost 50 mpg is possible in everyday use; cheap group 2 insurance. Suzuki dealers tend to offer reasonably-priced servicing, but expensive parts.

Wagon-R+ scores well on the eco front. With an average of 160 g/km CO2 across the line-up, its emissions are relatively low for a mini estate. It’s worth noting that the line-up does not feature any diesel models, which typically produce less carbon dioxide than petrol engines with similar power outputs. Eco-conscious buyers should consider the 1.2-litre petrol, which is one of the greenest models in the range.

The range is also fairly economical, averaging 43 mpg.

Feels well screwed together; three-year warranty is reassuring. Has so far proved to be very reliable.
