Nice update of 600 kms someshb. I had a Wagon R and most of the problems you are encountering was there when I was driving the car. My updates in bold is given below when I was using this car.

LPG Mode
----------
With 4-5 people in the car and A/C on, in LPG mode, the car aint good in terms of pickup and pull. There is noticeable and irritating power loss in third / fourth gear in LPG mode, you will have to come to a lower gear even if you slow down a bit. The car just refuses to respond! So in my opinion, LPG mode is good only with 2-3 people in the car.

Even in Petrol it sucks. Big time.

Gear
-----
Shifting to 2nd in a hurry is not very easy, 2nd gear feels very hard and so does the reverse gear. It might improve after first service I hope

The reverse gear engages with a "thud".

Suspension
-----------
Not the best, for every small unevenness , the 'thud' is transferred to the cabin, in indica this is not a problem

You are right.

Pedal position
-------------
Somehow I feel, clutch position is not placed very well, its a bit uncomfortable, I don't know co-wagonR users agree with this. it should have been placed a little lower.

This is most uncomfortable in almost all WagonRs. It is placed at some height making it more easier for ladies or the people who do not lift their foot off the pedals.

Mileage
-------
Have not yet calculated, still enjoying driving without bothering about cost

Will give around 12/13kmpl in city with ac & 16/17 kmpl on highways.

Will update further after first service.
