Hi, Dude,

Congrats and welcome to the Wagon R club................

I'm also a newbie same as you to this site. I love this site very much.....

I'am using Wagon R Lxi from past 4 1/2 years and do not have any kind of major problem with the vehicle till now. Have done around 30K kms. I have BS tyres (OE fitment) and they are fine. Still can go another 10~15K Kms on the same tyres. And these are OE tyres. Also, I'am spending only about Rs.1500~2000 for servicing/year............

As far as your Remote Locking is concerned, the wagon R Lxi cmes with Central Locking.....I have a company fitted....Maruti Nippon.....It is good and if you still want to explore,go for Auto cop......I feel this is also equally good.

About the sun films, I have 3M scothtint film which is slightly costly than the Garware film but it is worth it. It will be for life long. And hope they are giving you a normal rubber mats. If you want ur vehicle to look good (interiors) if possible re-bargain for fabric mats. Its really good.

Regarding Petrol.....I use Shell (normal) petrol or Normal petrol from BPCL. I tried with Indianoil (8~10 times)......but the mileage dropped....I feel the bunk where I filled in petrol might have been adultered.....

You can drive between 50~60 kms in city and on weekends you can also go for hill stations trips....Man in my vehicle I have touched around 140 kmph on the NH7. I have visited Sabarimala and Goa in my car and it never gave any problem. We have also driven 950~1000 kms at a stretch and vehicle responded very well........Hope this sufficies......

I do not feel the ABS is really a necessity for Wagon R when you are particlarly driving in city limits.......

Hope to have answered to your queries............
