My grandad passed away and left his one to me. My brothers had a good laugh but I’m still driving in 700 miles a month for work. It’s 18 yo and looks like the one in the video. ❤
My girlfriend used to have it for years before we moved. I loved this car, so much space (you have to get in it to believe it), so practical, efficient, economical, and quality. Plus, it has a 4wd setting when you go below 20kmph. It makes absolutely no sense for people to be driving around in huge trucks and suvs, especially when probably the same people are complaining about the environment. I wish they had this car in North America.
Why are people so worried about how they'll look to others? Who cares? To those who do, here's a tip - nobody cares, as they're all too busy worrying about themselves.....
Dave Bass Man true man I drive a wagon , I paided 400 euros had 6 months now great little car people say to me its a kip of a car would not be seen.dead I say dont give a dam what people think
Embarrassing thing for me is i might be buying one of these tomorrow guy only wants £300 for it and even more shocking fact is my old Golf Gti,s gearbox broke so quite a downgrade but honestly nowadays with the cost of living as long as it gets me from A to B im not bothered about performance handling or looks lol
funny thing is this is exactly the situation i was in i had a golf fsi that i had passed my test with then my insurance shot up to 5 grand so had to downgrade and found this 'beauty' at an auction with only 8000 miles on it yes 8k (lady owner had it since new but since her husband passed she had no use for it) i can say learning to drive it after having the golf was a big step but i finally got used to its quirks so im not really fussed about losing the golf :D
@@TH-camSupportTeams thats awsome, if you think about it, these little japanese cars are the pinnacle of efficiency, cheap to buy, cheap to run, very reliable, simple to fix, very versatile, what is stupid is having 2,5 tons of SUV gás drunk engine to go get grocerys.
I always drove whatever car my partner chose. But after the divorce , at 50, this was the one I wanted! And I love love love it. They can be found for quite low prices with quite low mileage, because it is the proverbial Granny car and no macho man wants to be seen in one. Got mine when it was 20 years old, only done 80 K km on it, and paid 2400 euro for it. As expected, I invested another 2000 in fixing her up over the next year. Installed parking sensors, new battery, new V-wire, new wipers. I also replaced the pioneer car radio/cd player with a bluetooth player. First a cheap one, but that sucked down the battery. Then a second hand JVC and that worked fine. Also, a neat trick: my Suz black plastic grille, roof handles, all had become weathered grey. I did reseach and mixed a bit of linseed oil with white spirit and treated the grey plastic. It turned out beautifully black, like new, and i only have to repeat this once a year.
Excellent car. Shame it was being driven by a d*ck who is far too important to even be seen in it, let alone give a proper review. Well suited for Top Gear.
Bought 17 years old one yesterday. My first ever car :) I'm a small person so I can dance around there is so much space for me, I can sit very high so feel self confident too. It's automatic, has only 90k miles on the clock and the only thing I have to work on its paintwork as it's quite oxidized. But one door is done and looks wet shiny after I spent a few hours on it last night. For £300, yes please ❤
@George Duffy since my last post I have finished paintwork restoration and its blood red, shiny and beautiful. Changed peeling badges to new ones, blackened all the trims, installed new front bottom grill mesh and touched up all the stone chips and fixed rubbed paint on thresholds with a carbon fiber tape. The car looks amazing, drives beautifully and I absolutely adore it. ❤ I'm not a fan of modern "bar of soap" shaped cars at all. Squarey and boxy is the way! 😃
I'm really interested in what you did for cosmetic touch ups. I blackened my faded plastic trims with boiled linseed oil ( Google it, it really works) and spraypainted the antenna and rear window wiper. What did you do with regard to the peeling badges ( what badges, where to buy?) And this carbon fiber tape, where?
I've also renewed silicone caulk edging around the front window, rubbed the rubber with vaseline, and cleaned weather spots on the inside ceiling with a toothbrush with a little bleach. I also took out the old radio cd player and replaced it with a Bluetooth player. What else did you do?
Ive just bought a 2002 1.3 auto after owning 3 of the mk 1's... Its a lot bigger inside....ive yet to try it on a long drive....but it must be better than the earlier models.
@@t3m4t0r68 The 1300 engine makes it more nippy than the old 1000, although you may lose some of that with an auto. Get the later version with 3 seat belts in the back. My 2000 model has only 2 although you could get 3 passengers in. You will be pleasantly surprised just how much you can pack in the back with the seat down.
I loved my one built in 2023 , I had it for 14 years till at 21 years of age and 194000 miles on the clock it was burning to much oil to pass the MOT on emissions apart from a few other things wearing out and sad to say it has now gone to the big car park in the sky ,it has been the best reliable economic car I have ever had .
@@ShortMan_123 The issue is that he insults intelligence. I only watched it because I have a '53 plate one - and was curious as to whether he bullshitted or told the truth!
I'm sure you'll love it mate, I still do. Only problem I had this year is that a week or so ago the fuel filler neck rusted through and I had to fit another one I got from a scrappy for £48. I kayak a lot so rear seats are hardly ever up so it's like a giant boot for my stuff, kayak on the roof sticking out about 3' each end :-D no probs. Have fun and be nice to know how you get on with her, treat with respect now won't you? ;-)
Have you had any major issues with it yet mate ? as im gonna buy a cheap one tomorrow guy only wants 300 quid for it and im just so sad because my old Golf GTI is going to the scrappy , not got enough cash for a big car so this will have to do for now
I have an Agila,the previous owners left it so bad but it still goes on....I dont know why you guys pick fights,both Agila and Wagon are good as I been told from the owners ...if you keep them to car`s manuals of course.
It holds the record for slowest car ever in the original Gran Turismo i used to race it for a laugh and in real life i hear they struggle to get 60mph on a highway lol

You'll probably think I'm weird but, I'd rather this car than a really expensive Lamborghini.

rufus dog me to but I’d put a v12 in it
James Warden, I can absolutely agree.
Ma dad drove one and gave it to me after he got a new car. These things are indestructible. It never had any major faults and it just keeps going
@@saltiestsalt6326 i keep seeing mot histories on them to do with the brake pipe being corroded , is that a common thing with them?
Just got a second hand 2004 one of these for £550. Awesome. And I love how much people love these haha
My dad got one of these in 2002 and it lasted for about 12 years, so I'd say they were pretty reliable
Yeah

My wagon r + as a common fault my back wheels are seized how do I free the brake drums off
I'm glad mine ain't got there yet bless my passion
Wagon
So amazed to come across this video from India. This is still the most selling car here and growing up, these are all I've seen.
I have this car for my farm
I'm never regret having this car. More you care this car, more you love this care ever than your wife 😎
Had my 2003 Agila (Basically the same car) for 6 weeks now and absolutely loving it
Got mine late last year. Bloody brilliant!
Practical, Dependable yet Radical. Wagon R (Recreation).. :) Cheers

“There’s no danger of getting your R swiped” sounded like “there’s no danger of getting your arse wiped”. Well played Hammond.
I have just got one and I am very happy about it.
That is so nice to hear him

its the same car as the vauxhall/opel agila
yea
Different engine.
It's the same car made with partnership with different companies

No other way round. It's a better car than the Agila anyway. There are some differences.
