Is the 7 seater WagonR a gimmick or does it actually suit families?

To me, it depends on what you need. If you’re like me, who sometimes needs to move about a bigger group but doesn’t wish to commit to a fullsize MPV, it’s a godsend. It’s not perfect, but it’s a cool way to use space in a familiar package.

I’m a tall guy so the idea is laughable. I can’t even fit into the third row of a WagonR, let alone squeeze into a third row. It may be appropriate for families with little kids, but anyone else should find something else.

It's actually quite practical, I think. This isn’t meant to replace your Innova. For those times when you need to bring that extra person or two along. And you can always fold down the third row when you don’t need it. It's all about flexibility.
Finally, How does the 7 seater WagonR compare in handling to its 5 seater sibling?

I've driven both and there isn't that much difference in day to day driving. It feels a bit heavier than the 7 seater, but it's not like you're now driving a boat. The suspension tuning has been done decently by Maruti.

Are you kidding? The handling is way worse! Driving is like driving a top–heavy brick. I once turned around fully loaded, and I thought we were going to tip over. If you value your life, stick to the 5 seater.

It's a trade-off. But yes, there is more body roll, but it's not unmanageable. All you have to do is change your driving style a bit. I found that it’s actually more stable on highways because of the extra weight.

Being familiar with both, I can tell you there is a difference, but it’s not a deal breaker. On straight roads the 7-seater feels more planted, but less nimble in the city. Priority is everything.

Let’s be real, if you’re looking for a WagonR for its handling prowess, you’re barking up the wrong tree. They're both runabouts and neither are sports cars. What it is, the 7 seater is fine.
The WagonR's relatively high seating position: Is a safety feature or is it a rollover risk?

In my WagonR I feel much safer. With the high seating I have a great view of the road, and I can see potential hazards easily. It's like driving a mini-SUV!

That's definitely a rollover risk. In sharp turns I have felt my WagonR lean uncomfortably. I don’t think the stability control is sufficient to override the high center of gravity.

I think it's a bit of both. Great visibility for daily driving, but I wouldn’t want to do any aggressive maneuvers in it. It's all about what you can do to drive within the car's limits.

With back problems, the high seating position is a godsend. It is very easy to get in and out of. While the potential risks are there, for me that daily convenience outweighs those risks.

I've never felt unsafe in my WagonR on highways. I don't think the rollover risk is exaggerated. How often do you really have to do sudden, extreme maneuvers anyway?

Until you have to take a U turn, this is great high seating. Then you truly start to feel how top heavy the car is. It's a trade off and I don't know if it's worth it.

It's mostly safety, I think. With our chaotic traffic in India being able to see over other cars is a huge advantage. You'll be fine as long as you just drive sensibly.
The high seating position of the S-Presso is it really a benefit or another gimmick?

For city driving it’s definitely a benefit. Higher seating means you get a better view of traffic in front of you, which is very useful when you’re in a congested area.

Gimmick all the way. The height is too much for the car, for it to really take advantage of it. It just feels unstable on highways.

I think it's a mixed bag. Visibility is great, but it does give the car a bit of a top heavy feeling when cornering.

The easy entry and exit is a godsend for someone with back problems. For some of us, it’s not just marketing fluff.

It's a smart way to make a small car feel like a bigger car. In terms of handling, it’s not ideal, but psychologically it works.
