WagonR Duo or Zen Vxi

I am planning to buy a car pretty soon. I am right now doing reviews of the cars, and have finally
zeroed in on two cars, viz, WagonR Lxi Duo and Zen Estillo Vxi, both from Maruti(Suzuki).

The reasons for choosing a Maruti over others were -
1.) Maruti's dealer network is very good, and little problem finding anyone to repair a maruti.
2.) Its resale value is better then other cars
3.) A safe bet for first time car buyers.

Prices for both these cars are almost the same. The technical features of both the cars are also almost
the same, the only major differences, that I can see are below
WagonR Lxi Duo
1.) Runs on LPG. By doing this, you are going green. Though, not sure, if in future, LPG will be as
cheap, as it is today.
2.) It has more space then Zen
3.) More space in the front, so impact on front would be less compared to estillo.

Zen Vxi
1.) Looks better then WagonR. I like the capsule look of it.
2.) Interiors are better looking.
3.) More features like all powered windows, door open alarm, etc. It comes fully loaded with all features.


Rest everything is same, the gear shift is not so good in both :-)
