Maruti Suzuki Ritz User Reviews

Exterior Good as a tall boy image and robust looking body but the front grills doesnot look godd -very old fashioned like low budget car. it must be improved, may be modified like swift/volkwagon polo.In LXI varriant door handle/rear view mirror should be atleast provided with body coloured.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior is really of good quality with lot of space and leg room even for a man of 6 feet or more. Dashboard look gives the feeling as if u are really driving a premium car.Again LXI varriant rearseat may also be provided with headrest atleast. and rear parcel tray as these little things project the car/company very cheap brandvalue.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performace is really extraordinary in its class of vehicles. IT is the engine performance which makes this car a power packed hatchback car. one can only feel it as soon as one gets behind the wheels throtles the engine. Fuel efficiency is again not so good but it is justified with such a powerpacked engine. gear box is fine. there is a little bit of problem with reverse gear sometimes.

Ride Quality & Handling Car has a great stability and ride control with high speed at highways even without cruisecontrol it gives secured  feeling to rider. a real highway car.

Final Words A real value for money in terms of performace, interior, space , and comfort with reasonable stabilty at high speed. But company should do something with its front grills/looks.

Areas of improvement Front grill look must be made like swift / volkswagon polo and more, not so costly basic features must also be added in LXI/LDI versions, like rear seat headrest and body coloured door handles and rear view mirror.

Presently, I am driving Maruti 800. After doing lot of web research including valuable reviews on Carwale.com etc. and subsequent visits to the Maruti dealer, i have booked Ritz Lxi version on 21/11/10. i am expected to take delivery of the car on 5/12/10. Since I have not yet driven the car for some time, i will not be able to comment on its performance.

Exterior I found it beautiful with imposing front and altogether different rear .  yes; people do frawn at times after looking at its rear.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Lot of space inside. Good comfortable seats thought rear seat does'nt has head restraint.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Can not comment. Gear throw is conveniently located on the waterfall console.

Ride Quality & Handling Due to its dimensions, the vehicle appears to be smooth and balanced on road. Morever, I don't drive at high speed. I like to cruise at moderate speed even on highways with my family members with me.

Final Words I am waiting to pick up my vehicle and then I will gauge the performance of the vehicle.

Areas of improvement Can not comment at this stage.

Exterior Although people have been very sceptical about its styling, I do believe that the car has a unique and new design which you take time to get used to. Its tall boy styling makes it very comfortable to get in and out. My family members confess that before buying they were always making fun of the car but they never knew they would own one soon. To be precise, it looks amazing at some angles but equally pathetic at others. I have no grudges with its back though.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Complains about Maruti Suzuki not making the basic model of its cars loaded with any features should make some impact. I have a feeling that I just got a car with AC. But speaking about the space and comfort I am completely satisfied. There's a lot of space for tall people and in the back seat too there's a lot of leg room. The seats are comfortable and u can snug in. The 60:40 split in the back seat is very useful

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is the best in the class to be precise. But fuel economy and gearbox are not up to the mark. I expected a fuel economy of 15+ from the beginning but I didn't get better than 11 in the summers with 90% AC on. Its only now after the rains started pouring and the temperatures cooled down did the fuel economy climb to 12-13. I just got my second service done and I hope for a better fuel economy now. I only drive in the city though. Gearbox is not very smooth specially the reverse gear. Even at the service they confessed that gearbox is a common problem with Ritz.

Ride Quality & Handling Its a nice car to drive. Sticks to the road and quite easy to turn on high speeds. Revs and vrooms!!!

Final Words Definitely the better car among its competitors (majorly due to Maruti attached to its name) but swift does make me think did i make the right choice.

Areas of improvement Gearbox and fuel economy. Special problems with my car - Wipers do not clean properly and some noises on the driver side door.
