Good Points

An excellent car especially around town, although long journeys are not particually uncomfortable.

Bad Points

I do wish manufacturers would remove the horn from the edge of the steering wheel and put it backwhere it belongs, on the end of the indicator arm.

General Comments

I purchased a Suzuki Wagon R+ 1.3 Automatic family car new, on a 01 plate. I had read a review about this vehicle and it was described as the most reliable car in 2001. Now the main reason I liked this vehicle was that being disabled, with this car you haven't got to climb up to get in, nor do you 'drop' down and wonder how the hell you are going to get out! The seat is high enough to 'slide your bum' across and sit comfortably. The automatic box is a standard 3 speed box, and the gear changes are as smooth as any other car. The car is ideal for town use, being nice and small, but you also have an estate vehicle, because the rear seats fold flat.
All controls are within easy reach and I have no faults with it other than the one in the bad point section

    Have had my 03 reg Wagon R+ for just 4 weeks, the only fault I have found so far is a tendency to find all the bumps in the road. On a good road, it is as sweet as a nut, but find a poor one and it bounces all over the place. A pity really, it spoils an otherwise useful vehicle. (My previous was a Citroen ZX 11 years old, so perhaps I was spoiled by the softer ride) The main reason for my choice of car was the ease of getting in and out, we are both over 70 and it is very easy to slide in and out of. I also have a squeak from somewhere, but so far have not been able to pin it down.

    Sorry about the suspension/seats, but changing from a French car you will be bound to notice the difference. I don't care what anyone says, but if I could have the Peugeot 405's velour seats in my Suzuki then I'd happily travel up and down the motorway!
    It was the height of the car that that made me buy my Suzuki too. I am disabled and it makes life so much better than having to either climb up into a car or to simply drop down onto the seat and worry for the rest of the trip wondering how the hell you are going to get out of the vehicle at journeys end!

    Further to my recent comments on the Wagon R+, I returned it to the supplier, and a faulty shock absorber was diagnosed and subsequently replaced u/g
    Since when I have had no further problem.
    A problem I had with an intermittent squeak from somewhere in the front was located in the braking assembly, due to the pads not coming off the disc completely. That problem was also sorted satisfactorily and we now have a quiet, smooth running car!
