The Suzuki Wagon R+ (2000-2008) mini MPV is the predecessor to the Suzuki Splash. With its zippy 1.3 engine and practical style the Wagon R+ is a very flexible, everyday car that offers space solutions and is a perfect active family car.

Suzuki Wagon R+ 2005

I bought a Wagon R+ 1.3 new in 2005. It has been serviced as per intervals and runs as sweet as a nut. It has now done 40,000 miles and I won’t be getting rid any time soon. It returns around 42 mpg which isn’t bad nowadays. I have never had any problems with it at all and only replaced a couple of tyres in the time I have owned it. It’s a pity they don’t make these any more as it is a good, practical family car. The replacement Suzuki Splash is rubbish by comparison...!!

Suzuki Wagon R+ Wagon R GL 1995

My partner bought this wagon R 12 months ago and it has 30,000 miles on the clock. In september 2009 the cam shaft sensor had to be replaced, luckily under warranty. Not 2 months later, after the warranty had run out the engine management light came on as before, this time its a faulty ECU. Needless to say we were not impressed with the reliability of the electronics or the dealership service, this is a very expensive problem to repair. We will NOT be buying another Suzuki.

Suzuki Wagon R+ 2006

Poor show. Basic functions OK but wiper motor packed up at low mileage, windscreen leaked and had to be refitted and I have had persistent problems with air con system. Persisten leaks, compressor failure etc. Over its 3 year life so far, off the road on 20 days other than servicing and air con not working on at least 160 days. Air con failure has made it impossible to put it to intended use of carrying old infirm mother around. (It has large door and low sill making it my choice for disabled passenger.) Made in Poland. In the style of 1976 Longbridge car.

Suzuki Wagon R+ Manual 2003

My second Wagon. The new classic, unfortunately discontinued. In 6 years / 60,000miles I have had to replace sensor after dodgy petrol and 1 wheel bearing apart from tyres and normal service. This car will take 5 adults with surfboards and gear to the beach or drive thousands of miles down the motorway. Planning to keep as long as possible as no real replacement in sight.

Suzuki Wagon R+ LXI 2000

I am from India. This is one of the best cars - Great mileage, comfort, reliability, stability - great space inside - kids love it. Great in congested Indian lanes and streets.

Suzuki Wagon R+ 2004

I immediately felt at home in this car as soon as I got behind the wheel - and I am someone who does not easily adapt (or bond!) to new cars. I bought this second hand nearly 2 years ago, replacing a 2004 Ford Fiesta I was very attached to and I love it - great visibility and fantastically easy to park (even for me - I was in the back of the queue when spatial awareness was handed out). Many a time I have been able to take advantage of a small parking space, while larger cars have had to circle the car park in vain. It is an excellent daily run about if you have up to 2 kids as the visibility from the back is great. In the 2 years I’ve had it, I have only had to have the rear wheel bearings replaced and the rear washer jet replaced. Very economical to run. Small boot, but an excellent economical, fun, reliable second car. In my book the R in Wagon R+ stands for REALLY fab!

Suzuki Wagon R+ 1.3ltr GL V V T 2005

In the first year, failure of screen washers made me concerned about the rest of the car. No need to worry, trouble free for three years. We are two old wrinklies with stiff joints, but we find access as easy as getting out , with the seats just the right height. More space inside makes it comfortable for me (at sixteen stone) and my wife. It drives beautifully, although the suspension is a little hard on pot holed side roads. Comes with three year free service, although don`t rely on their claim that "your car will be cleaned at each service", as this is at the discretion of the garage. Overall this car is a good buy for all age groups. I am about to order its successor "the Splash" that is coming out in March.

Suzuki Wagon R+ 1.3 2004

A very good all car for all ages easy for elderly people to get in and out, if you have teenagers like us it is very versatile has good visibility all round, the seats are so easy to put down and we have even put a washing machine in the back of it with ease and room to spare ideal to double as a small van easy to park and surprisingly spacious inside and runs like a dream.
