Is it worth to spend 38K for Wagon R Vxi over Lxi?

1.>Why change the stock tyres, As Jk lasts long.
Most tyres you get in Stock are Ceat or Jk's.

2.> Ice upgrade, raj is there for suggestions.

3.>Alloys gives a look, but the steering would be tight in the long run.

why mukesh?

IMO nothing like that will happen as long as you stick to the specs & dont put too fat tyres, your steering will be normal.

Exactly , i don feel any difference in my Verna its as good as stock ones.

Tyre upgrade i suggest you stay with the stock ones till they wear out and after they wear out switch over to alloys and also new tyres. But this will cost more.

ICE , create a separate thread mentioning your requirements and budget , Raj can help you out.

I'll definitely think on your suggestion regarding tyre upgrade.
For ICE thread, I have to wait till my car reaches me.

What should I do during this waiting period? I am just counting days, in this month 2-3 times I dreamt that I am driving my car

Well, keep visiting TAI.

And read books.
The best way to pass time.

You seem very excited Sandeep, and I understand. I had to wait for 3 days for my i10, and those 3 days were the strangest of my life.

Its exactly one month now for the booking, dealer says wait for another 3 months as the list is huge. How should I cope up with this waiting period?

*Shrugs* Maybe your stars want you to get the car registered as 2011, and take the delivery by New Year only. It is a quite long wait anyways, but the patience will definitely pay off.

Until I am preparing the upgrade list

1. Tyre upgrade to Michelin XM+ provided I get good value for stock tyres. (Is it really required?)
2. Change stock speakers (yet to decide the type and brand)
3. Alloys (definitely yes but after a while)

Waiting for more inputs from your side

Best idea is to create a new thread in relevant section on all your queries about accessorizing.

Drive Safe,

Yes Sandeep its better you get your car registered as 2011 as it slightly enhances the re-sale value!

I say be happy if you have to wait till January.

About visiting TAI, I think that I will do regularly even after getting my car.

Makes sense. If I would be getting delivery after diwali, I'll definitely wait till new year.

3. Alloys (definitely yes but after a while)

1. What is the stock tyre size?
Stock JK tyre are pathetic. Change it as soon as you get the vehicle. Better visit some good tyre dealers and finalize a deal and go straight there after getting the delivery.
XM1+ is the best basic tyre, but as raj mentioned its bit soft and costly.
Best VFM tyre would be Apollo Acelere or Yoko A-Drive.

3. If budget allows, why not. Get the new OE steel rim get exchanged and buy some good alloys.

Stock tyre size is 155/65/14.

Just an update. My car is in transit, I'll be getting it in a weeks time. So its time for preparing PDI check list and starting a new thread for initial ownership

 

[*Arkin_Young*]

Wow, that's great. I'm really happy you're getting your car at last.
Pardon me, but I was never sure of what car you have right now?

 

[SandeepK]

Pardon me, but I was never sure of what car you have right now?

Arkin, currently I don't have any car. This is my first one. Currently I am riding my dad's 91's HH CD100 and occasionally I get chance on my P150.

The WagonR is a nice car to start with. Congrats.
