| Description |
| Not recommended. A bestseller in Japan, the oddball Wagon R+ has lots of space for little money but not much else to recommend it. |

| Road Test |
| This Hungarian-built city car will get you attention, but for all the wrong reasons. Strange styling means the pint-sized Suzuki has very high sides married to tiny dimensions. The result is a rather ugly supermini with lots of headroom. Just one version is available: a surprisingly zippy 1.3 in GL specification, which includes power steering, central locking and colour-coded bumpers. Inside, there's plenty of space and a decent boot that can be enlarged by folding the rear seats. The Wagon R+ is good value for money - as long as you plan using it only in a city environment. |
| Positive Points |
- Livelier and better looking than original Wagon R+
- Good fuel economy and low insurance
- Five-door practicality, easy to live with
|
| Negative Points |
- Heavy depreciation for a small car
- Looks aren't to everyone's tastes
- Not much fun on long motorway journeys
