My 12-year-old Maruti WagonR goes in for its 1 lakh km service

Final bill was about 5.6k post discount. Just regular service 100k service and no fancy stuff. Cheap Maruti service remains a myth.

BHPian ashis89 recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

RoadRunner continues to do its duty at home, completing 10 years with us (and 12 overall).

The power window module was on order and was replaced sometime in October. Cost us about 2.5k. Then in November, I got a call from Sky Automobiles reminding me of the annual service and also about some Diwali service offer going on. After checking my father’s need for the car, I asked the service centre to pick it up for service. The car was picked up around 10:30 AM and dropped home by 5 PM. The final bill was about 5.6k post discount. Just regular service 100k service and no fancy stuff. Cheap Maruti service remains a myth.

I was home for a couple of weeks and so covered some 200-odd kms. The car runs fine and does duty in the city only. Before returning to Bangalore, I gave a quick wash and wipe.

While cleaning, I noticed that leaves were accumulating behind the front quarter panel. Not sure how they're getting there. I didn't have much time to clean it so will take it up during the next visit

Odo stands at 96k.

Maruti Suzuki deletes rear defogger feature from the WagonR

The rear defogger feature has been deleted from all variants, including the top-spec ZXI+ trim.

Maruti Suzuki recently deleted several features from the Brezza, including the fuel-saving mild-hybrid tech from the manual variants. It seems the carmaker has adopted a similar strategy for other models too, at a time when car prices are increasing with every passing month.

According to a media report, Maruti has made some changes to the feature list of the WagonR. The rear defogger feature has been deleted from all variants, including the top-spec ZXI+ trim. In fact, the updated brochure doesn't even list the feature anymore.

A defogger is a handy feature, especially during rainy and winter seasons when the windows are prone to fogging up due to condensation. The defogger uses coils that heat up to clear the windscreen.

Apart from this, Maruti hasn't made any mechanical changes to the car. The WagonR is available with two petrol engines: a 998cc, 3-cylinder producing 66 BHP and 82 Nm and a 1.2-litre, 4-cylinder unit that puts out 89 BHP and 113 Nm. Transmission options include a 5-speed manual and a 5-speed AMT. The car also gets a factory-fitted CNG option.

Bidding my 2013 WagonR an emotional goodbye: 1st car with many memories

With a fuel efficiency of 19 km/l on highways, my WagonR made our road trips more affordable and enjoyable.

BHPian Bala02 recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Dear fellow automobile enthusiasts,

It's with a heavy heart that I write this post to bid farewell to my beloved WagonR, a car that has been a part of my life for many years. As a proud member of Team BHP, I couldn't think of a better place to share my heartfelt emotions with fellow enthusiasts who understand the bond we form with our vehicles.

I still remember the day I brought my WagonR home, a 2013 model that was brand new and shiny. It was my first car, and I had many adventures and memories with it. I learned how to drive in its comfortable seats and embarked on numerous road trips across different locations like Kolli Hills with its 72 hairpin bends, Ooty, Kodaikanal, Munar and Yercaurd to name a few

My WagonR was not just a car; it was my trusted companion that never let me down. It transported me and my loved ones to breathtaking destinations, with its reliable performance and smooth handling. Whether it was navigating the winding roads of the hills or cruising on the highways, my WagonR never disappointed.

One of the things I loved the most about my WagonR was its versatility. Its spacious interiors and folding seats made it perfect for transporting big suitcases or other bulky items. I had many memorable road trips with friends and family, creating cherished memories that will last a lifetime.

And let's not forget about its impressive fuel efficiency. With a fuel economy of 19kmpl on highways, my WagonR made our road trips more affordable and enjoyable. It was a practical and economical choice that never failed to impress me.

But it wasn't just about the performance and practicality; my WagonR was also a teacher. It taught me valuable lessons about driving, maintenance, and the joy of exploring the world behind the wheel. It gave me the confidence to take on new adventures, and I will forever be grateful for the memories it created.

As I bid farewell to my WagonR, I wanted to share this emotional moment with my fellow Team-BHP members. This community has been a constant source of inspiration and knowledge for me, and I'm grateful to be part of such a passionate group of automobile enthusiasts.

Though I have moved to a Nexon now, I know that the memories I created with my WagonR will stay with me forever. It's not just a car; it's a part of my life's journey, and I'll always cherish the moments we had together.

I want to thank Team BHP for providing a platform where I can share my emotions and experiences with fellow enthusiasts. It's a community that understands the bond we form with our vehicles and the emotions that come with saying goodbye.
