The wagon R is actually one of the most interesting cars of the last 20 years. It is the best selling kei car and the only one to be internationally renowned, It had mazda, vauxhall and chevrotet spinnoffs. It achieved what the smart car only pretended to. The ironic facetious review is fairly entertaining but you could take it seriously and have a full documentary on this thing
@Car Throttle We used to have a blue 1.3i manual WagonR+ The car did city driving around 38mpg and motorway it dropped to 32mpg and this when going 70mph+ I generally think, it was good, fun, comfortable car. We did a house move in it and also used it like a van. Sold it begin of this year, and after nearly 3 years owning it, everytime I see one on the roads, I just get a smile. Good, it wasn't as fast as my NB, or not as comfortable as my 407, but we traveled with it from Skye to London and back. It brought us to Liverpool, Wales and did some other road trips with it. So, as a car enthusiast, it's not a sports car, but for what it is/was, they kind of brilliant. We sold the Turdis, but she will be always in our memories.

I’ve just bought one of these - a manual - and I feel this car deserves a bit of defence. It’s so, so close to being a work of genius and was years ahead of its time. Not much larger than a Fiat 500 in terms of the size of it but much taller so not only is it great for around the city, even in the busiest of areas. The gearing is so short that it is well set up for in town driving too and despite the blender motor in place of an engine, it feels nippy around town. It’s surprisingly spacious too. The looks are…divisive (I have MX-5 alloys that have been painted white on mine), as soon as you go over 55mph the engine has to work overtime and the little refinement it has goes out of the window. A nicer interior, an extra 15bhp allowing for longer gear ratios and you’ve got a brilliant city car that can be used elsewhere. It’s a brilliant concept that’s just a little flawed in its execution.
At 18 I need a van, I can’t get the Insurance and 1.9 VW caddy but this is perfect, it has roof bars for my kayak and I’m thinking of doing a receipt delete which will basically make it a van. Im not interested in speed after writing off my polo, I also need something with a tiny engine because you know, insurance…
What if I tell you, (Maruti) Suzuki Wagon R still sells 16K units a month in India with a 1 litre Petrol engine with 67 bhp n 91 NM of Torque. Its like the Ultra Budget G-Wagon of Hatchbacks 🤣
@@sinha1941 how much have you achieved in the field of science or engineering? I'm not talking about the technological or economic advancement of your country, I'm talking about YOU.

You don't deserve any of the things you've taken for granted.
I've got one, it's a 1.3l 5 speed manual, I've fitted it with a stainless steel exhaust and an Aisin AMR500 Roots type blower and it's a beast !!! It's light, handling is poor but predictable... once you get used to it's vague electric steering and the global sponginess of the car (body, suspension, brakes...) once you start pushing it... Soft tires cures easely the horrid oversteer issue ;-) One could think it's easy to roll it, but trust me i've tried several times and it didn't (only two of the 4 wheels got air) ! And when the back seats are folded down you can put a 70's 50cc motorbike in the back, close the boot and still be able to fit two fully grown adults in the front seats ! Don't get me wrong it's not by any means a great car, but a cheap and cheerful one for sure :)
That little wagon would be insane with 500-600whp. I'd drive it ! Probably wouldn't be all that hard of a swap. Do a YT search for 'turbo hayabusa'... some are getting over 650whp. Bet that little wagon weighs like nothing.
I had a Wagon R which I drove daily for seven years, and put 80,000 miles on it. Apart from consumables like tyres and brake pads, the only thing that went "wrong" were the rear wheel bearings, which needed replacing after I drove through a deep ford (over wheel hub height) and water got into the bearings and ruined them. Certainly not a cool or stylish car, but good heavens it was useful as a load carrier.....
Jakob Munk City and SUV are two things which just dont match. Most of them are fwd and even when they are awd, i am sure they have never gone off road. And thats what an SUV is meant to go. When you live in a city, you really dont need such an big, high car.
@@TH-camSupportTeams It's better with the later 1.2L engine which replaced the ageing 1.3L. It gives the same performance while drinking less juice. That old 1.3L is probably at least a 30 years old design.
Neel Parmari has it as a learner car, so if I bin it I’m really not that bothered. I have the Vauxhall version in manual, and everything rattles, 3rd and 5th will occasionally just disappear, does handle well tho. But in general it’s the worst driving experience ever
A mechanic close to me bought one and with great difficulty, made it cool. SR20 VVL, 5spd box, really nice rims and stuff. The worse part is just looking at it...
People call it boring. My colleagues called mine as the beast. I called it the pensionermobile. Rest in peace you glorious tardis. Pluckiest car I've ever owned.
I love owning this car for anyone looking for a perfect city car on a budget. The manual and automatic version of this car are fantastic to drive. And it's only a stereo, tints, Air filter, away from having street cred.
I've toured in a Wagon R (early 2000's model) as a musician for 8 years, over 200k miles carting around gear and other musicians. Slept and camped in it plenty of times. Easy, cheap, and simple to fix, everything under the hood is accessible. It's no speed demon but they tend to be nippy, have a hella tight turning circle for city driving and carry a good load over distance. Absolutely love these cars!
WassapDude94 A Twingo is a definite downgrade with the exception of 2nd gen DCi, GT and RS and perhaps the 3rd gen TCE models. I say that as a proud Twingo owner and former Agila/Wagon R+ sharer. Less practicality, not even any more power and you're no longer the showstopper that Swagon is.
In India, even after having a big SUV or a sedan, people tend to have one of these small ones, which is mostly their 1st cars. Also its interesting how so many comments are from India lol
Dependable and reliable - I,ve had 6 from year 2002 through to 20075 manual, 1 Automatic. Worst catastrophe - 1 wheel bearing required in a 2004. Forget the underpowered 1.2 - the 1328cc is the best - followed by the 1298. Forget the red and yellow versions - the paint fades - Forget the Agila - only the small engine in this lookalike. I also have a Suzuki Carry 2003. No the most striking of vehicles but for dependability and reliability beats most.
The older model had a plastic basket under the passenger seat for you to take into shops, fill with stuff and not landfill carrier bags. Way ahead of its time. But if you made it into a little sub box (eight inch sub fits nicely and you don't want too low frequencies) and had a female passenger whatever mood she was in would be improved within a minute of Goldie Timeless. ;-)
One of the most practical cars u can buy 4 ur money.I hate car reviews. These days car reviews r all about 0-60 n gimix that break down n r expensive to fix..
Hey guys, I just wanted to say thank you for the review. You got me so excited about the car I got myself a 2005 Wagon R+ 1.3 VVT with 94hp. Should I end up modifying or even using it for instructed laps with Apex I'll let you know ;) greetings from a place between Nürburg and Hockenheim.
I have a wagonR here in india. Almost 16 years old, still looks the same like the day I bought it. Never broke down in middle of the road and still more dependable than than an e class Mercedes. Repairing is cheap, boot is huge and it slogs like a donkey! I am never gonna sell mine!
drove a rental Opel Agila (the identical twin to this car) once, and was surprised of how spacious it was, how hard the seats were and how it felt like it was going to tipp over it's outer front wheel when going in a roundabout...
Had one for 10 years. Never let me down. Easy to service fun to drive ( but not over 60 mph) loads of space for a run to the tip if you fold down the seats. The car literaly has a wheel on each corner so it's a doddle to park anywhere ( it also looks like a wheeled skip so we called ours "Biffa"). Because of the seating position my lovely lady 5'3" can get out and I , all 6' of me can get in and not move the seat. It even has roof bars so you can get your 8x4' sheets of OSB from wicks on the roof ( although that does make the cornering a little ...dicey). Yes it's a granny shopping car but that's what it's good at.
In India At least 10,000-25,000 units of this car is been sold by Suzuki And it is known as WagonR in India. Edit: my family also own this car. And it's been 9years since we own this car
I can not believe that he wrapped it in chrome. Chrome is the most expensive type of wrap (generally speaking) not to mention a wrap in general is not that cheap. He must have really had money to burn
I had a Wagon R for 14 years and found it the most reliable practical car I have ever had and with the rear seats down a great carrying capacity and a good work horse.
My Uncle had one of these. They sold these in India where he lived. I rode in it. From what I remembered, they aren't so bad! It's mediocre. Kinda comfortable. Ok ride. And as said in this video, pretty much being a Kei car it's great for city roaming, where he lived.
Actually looks a lot more interesting than some other cars. Just look some of the cars made for the American market in the 90s/early 2000s, some of the dullest pieces of design you'll ever see.
He said it was a 'long term'. That suggests that they have the Skodiak out for a long term review, so they would never actually own the car. You can't really wrap a car you don't own.
It is actually a pretty decent car for city driving, especially in India considering how may restrictions we have in the Auto Industry and how chaotic it is to drive in India traffic. You need a lot of focus. The version we have here is a scaled down version using the K series 998cc, 3 cylinder engine, generating a whooping 67 bhp. The same engine block is also used in the BalenoRS and Alto K10. We get only an AMT transmission and not the pure automatic as mileage is a major concern here especially since it runs in petrol and its extremely costly. This car has one of the lowest maintenance a really good budget car and value for money here.
I used to own one a couple of years ago, a 1.3L 4x4 Wagon R+. It drank oil like petrol, the little bugger. But hey I drove it all the way to Germany and almost made it back, so that's something. I ended up trading it in for a 2003 BMW 320d Compact that really isn't much better than the Suzuki except that it's got double the horsepower and better fuel (and oil) consumption.
I have the 2002 version in silver all the same and I love it got it brand new 50K miles no serious issues and I get 140 miles on 1 tank of petrol. 10/10
I have a facelift with the 94hp 1.3l engine and i love it! Fun2drive every day :D Take a look at the oem accessories of Suzuki, you can have everything! Like fender flares, spoiler, wood interior, shift knobs, roof box and so on.

argonautuk perfect review
I can get more in/on this than my VW camper ,but a bit more awkward to sleep in !
Drove from Leeds to the Algarve in one of these. 29hrs, 1650 miles.. It was a long long drive. Car cost us £200 but it made it!
Still not breaking SPEED LIMIT
This was the ultimate burnnn
Please upgrade to a FIAT MULTIPLA and do a series on it!!!!
Oh yes
'''One lap hero's''': are doing a series about a multipla at the nurbergring
I detest the multipla with such a burning hatred, I'd like to put the guy who approved that into a custom built Fritzl cellar
And now it's time for the Doug score
looks like alex was crying before the episode
Had one for quite a few years ,my dog loved it ! Never let me down .
Hey guys, I just wanted to say thank you for the review. You got me so excited about the car I got myself a 2005 Wagon R+ 1.3 VVT with 94hp. Should I end up modifying or even using it for instructed laps with Apex I'll let you know ;) greetings from a place between Nürburg and Hockenheim.
5:18 it went from 7 to 9
WHOOAAA! VTEC!
leskyLSK *VTEC just kicks in Yo*
90% comments : WagonR is famous in India
Remaining 10%: still Indians praising WaginR
0.01%: again Indians telling how shit the car is.
@@ashishpradhan636 it really isnt shit I dont like it but its okay
I had 1.3 wagon r manual it did 52 to the gallon . I regularly got 160 miles on £20 of petrol the most frugal petrol car I owned .
I have a wagonR here in india. Almost 16 years old, still looks the same like the day I bought it. Never broke down in middle of the road and still more dependable than than an e class Mercedes.
Repairing is cheap, boot is huge and it slogs like a donkey!
I am never gonna sell mine!
Ethans camera work can almost ALMOST make a Suzuki wagon look cool..
Just bought one today. Fun small car if you ask me
Still waiting for Vtec to Kick in.
I swear Car Throttle creates better Car shot videos then the car reviews the creators of any car makes.
drove a rental Opel Agila (the identical twin to this car) once, and was surprised of how spacious it was, how hard the seats were and how it felt like it was going to tipp over it's outer front wheel when going in a roundabout...
If Kimi Raikkonen drives it it will double the price...
well, this is my first car...
I’m a simple man... I see a Suzuki Wagon R... I hit like...
Had one for 10 years. Never let me down. Easy to service fun to drive ( but not over 60 mph) loads of space for a run to the tip if you fold down the seats. The car literaly has a wheel on each corner so it's a doddle to park anywhere ( it also looks like a wheeled skip so we called ours "Biffa"). Because of the seating position my lovely lady 5'3" can get out and I , all 6' of me can get in and not move the seat. It even has roof bars so you can get your 8x4' sheets of OSB from wicks on the roof ( although that does make the cornering a little ...dicey). Yes it's a granny shopping car but that's what it's good at.
My dad owned this car. Drove it till 145kmph, very scary vehicle
In India
At least 10,000-25,000 units of this car is been sold by Suzuki
And it is known as WagonR in India.
Edit: my family also own this car. And it's been 9years since we own this car
Its good enough for me if it gets me from point A to B without having to walk or use public transit.
To some it’s boring but for the watchers
It’s the car throttle car
I can not believe that he wrapped it in chrome. Chrome is the most expensive type of wrap (generally speaking) not to mention a wrap in general is not that cheap. He must have really had money to burn
I have a manual one and it’s a joy. Needs wider wheels though, does tend to tripod on roundabouts haha
NNOOOOOOOOOOO MISSS YOU SWAGON
The still in hungary
I have this car .😭
I still cant figure out why i bought it.
I think BoostedBoyz' Odyssey with lownmower engine was faster than this
I had a Wagon R for 14 years and found it the most reliable practical car I have ever had and with the rear seats down a great carrying capacity and a good work horse.
My Uncle had one of these. They sold these in India where he lived. I rode in it. From what I remembered, they aren't so bad! It's mediocre. Kinda comfortable. Ok ride. And as said in this video, pretty much being a Kei car it's great for city roaming, where he lived.
Better than a prius 😂
Actually looks a lot more interesting than some other cars. Just look some of the cars made for the American market in the 90s/early 2000s, some of the dullest pieces of design you'll ever see.
hah thats nothing against škoda octavia (all generations)
Please wrap the SUV
Brown Gumshoe SwagonII wrap
Yes definitely
He said it was a 'long term'. That suggests that they have the Skodiak out for a long term review, so they would never actually own the car. You can't really wrap a car you don't own.
It's the type of car you trundle down the road in listening to elevator music during rush hour with a long queue behind you to get to bingo.
It is actually a pretty decent car for city driving, especially in India considering how may restrictions we have in the Auto Industry and how chaotic it is to drive in India traffic. You need a lot of focus.
The version we have here is a scaled down version using the K series 998cc, 3 cylinder engine, generating a whooping 67 bhp. The same engine block is also used in the BalenoRS and Alto K10. We get only an AMT transmission and not the pure automatic as mileage is a major concern here especially since it runs in petrol and its extremely costly.
This car has one of the lowest maintenance a really good budget car and value for money here.
I have one of the older models (99 Wagon R+) and it's such an awesome car.
I'd bang it; quite literally. Too much boost and the engine will literally BANG! What did you think I meant?
What?!? No, don't sell her... Give her away at least
💀👌

There should be a giveaway to a random subscriber. Or he can scrap it and give the parts to fans. Either way is fine
Unless CT buys the car from Ethan he's not gonna give it away mate. Would you just give away your car for nothing?
The Dutchinator it's a £500 car tops... I don't think that they'd struggle without without it
I have a Wagon R + and it is a great little car. It is certainly not boring either to look at or to drive. More fun than those bland BMWs!!!!
I used to own one a couple of years ago, a 1.3L 4x4 Wagon R+. It drank oil like petrol, the little bugger.
But hey I drove it all the way to Germany and almost made it back, so that's something.
I ended up trading it in for a 2003 BMW 320d Compact that really isn't much better than the Suzuki except that it's got double the horsepower and better fuel (and oil) consumption.
Hey it's waganor and is sold as diamond in India💰💰💰
Do diamond's sell alot I think you meant hot cakes
Why don't you try Tata Nano?😂
Manisha Raut 😂 nanos starts itself but stops when winds decide on highways😂
They don't sell em here in Europe

Juan Manuel Martinez Maaaaan I was writing the same!!

Interesting username and you like cats? I think I have some videos for you ;)
I have the 2002 version in silver all the same and I love it got it brand new 50K miles no serious issues and I get 140 miles on 1 tank of petrol. 10/10
I have a facelift with the 94hp 1.3l engine and i love it! Fun2drive every day :D Take a look at the oem accessories of Suzuki, you can have everything! Like fender flares, spoiler, wood interior, shift knobs, roof box and so on.
