      I started my hatchback diesel search 6 months back (in the mid of 2012). At that time I finalised Ritz Vdi. (The price was around 6.5 Lakhs). I like Ritz due to it's famous diesel engine and tall boy design. Ruled out other cars at that time because of the following reasons
      1. Figo - Heard little ground clearance issue and mileage slightly low (still it's a VFM), Little expensive on maintenanace compared to Maruti
      2. Liva - Exteriors and interiors look bit cheaper making a feel not safe. Live diesel variant is not upgraded with good interiors like Diesel version. Company may not concentrate on diesel variant. Even some features like 60:40 split seat and alloy wheels missing from top variant

      But now after Ritz facelift launched it costs 6.95 Lakhs. Touched almost 7 Lakhs and made me to re-consider my decision. Fuel efficiency is increased, backseat got lumbar support and Steering adjustment added. Following are the negatives I felt
      1. Price is high without having inbuilt music system and optional ABS safety feature even in mid variant
      2. The pathetic thing is even the body colored handle and OVRM also turned into Black for new Vdi.
      3. The great Maruti is still not giving even corporate discount or any other discount even i asked many times.
      4. The rear seat leg room is not better compared to Liva, Punto etc.

      Then in my mind currently Punto, Liva and newly launched Sail came for consideration.
      Punto absolutely is a perfect package of features and brilliant design. Even a very safe vehicle (Euro NCAP 5 rating). But marketing and maintenance not good.
      Liva as said earlier it's a practical vehicle for India considering mileage and T badge, but not the current available variant due to poor exterior and interior (build quality)
      Sail - The only car not test driven yet but seems to be pleasing since we can believe in Chevrolet and the space, mileage, features and it's success in China make me to think. Once finalised will inform more. 

      Areas of improvement If Maruti re-considers pricing by understanding global players competition, and to match the features & quality then only they can continue doing well. Otherwise they are going to lose the league soon!

      1. Maruti A.S.S 2. Proven Engine 3. Tall boy design 4. Fuel efficiency1. Features (ABS+Music system missing on mid variant) 2. Space in rear seat

      Exterior Looks good on the front part and a spiler at the rear would make it look better.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Awesome dual tone interiors with good space and the seats are very comfortable.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Very smooth engine and the gearbox is like moving on butter. below 100km/hr I wonder if it is a petrol car.22-24.5 on highways. If driven below 100km/hr the mileage is 23 and above but if driven above 120-130km/hr the mileage drops to 21-20km/l. 16-19 in city. Very good pickup,you can trust on it in crucial times of overtakes and emergancy.

      Ride Quality & Handling Handling is very good,road grip and view is awesome coz of the height.smooth on roads and no tension of bumping into some pit as the ground clearance is good.

      Final Words Just buy it. HONESTLY speaking,i have driven my ritz vdi for about 2.39lk km for 6 years now and have changed the clutch wire 3 times and the brake and accelerator wires once.with regular service and good maintainance this car can be your best friend for life.
      Don't go for swift or figo, Ritz is the best in class car. Don't worry about the rear shape just put a spoiler for 3k and it looks better than others.

      Areas of improvement A/C needs to improve a bit.

      Everything except the rear designNothing much to be noted

      I would have never bought a Ritz, if I hadn't driven it to test. The reluctance was mnostly for the look of the rear side. But once I was under the wheel I was thoroughly conviced that I would own one. The easiness to get in and get out, the comfortably positioned and ergonomically designed seating etc. offer a cool experioence.

      The drivability of the car is great. Its a your close crony  both on the city roads and on the highways. The diesel engine by FIAT is awsome (It's now called as the national engine of India!) Almost every Maruti diesel cars use the same engine. I gert a satisfying milage of 22 + on highways. The pick up is amazing especially once the turbo is unleashed.

      The sturdiness of the car is worth mentioning. Combined with the aerodynamic body it helps to hug on the road in higher speeds. (Specs show that it is heavier than Swift).

      Now the, looks, yes, initially it was heavily criticised for the look of the rear. In fact it is a more  advanced design than Swift. (In Europe the car is named Splash). Indian psyche always accepts things slowly, that's why during launching the acceptance of the car was not that good.

      And the negatives: Boot space is a limting factor (though the split seat offers a relief). Even if the steering is EPS, it is not that smooth.

      To conclude, a good car offers driving pleasure, comfortable commuting and great value for money.

      It was very nice to drive with a somewhat sporty and stunning design. The service cost was also low compared to others. My drive was 60% city and 40% highway. So it was a very nice experience.

      Value for money, a perfect ride, and strong grip on the road Look great as the first vehicle designed with aerodynamics. Performance is superb as with a core power of riding this car. When the RPM reaches 2000 then its actually gets a push of turbo. Low maintenance cost. Only Cons is the type specification that comes with the vehicle. It should come with 185/65 R15.

      Varun Motors, Nizampet was where I purchased the car. All the PDI was done day before by me, We were greeted by the sales person who was in-charge for us in the whole dealings. We had signed the papers we were taking to their delivery area where the Ritz was waiting to get delivered. Before signing the papers I had a thorough look at the car and checked the odometer reading which was 10 kms. It was clean, shining and decorated with balloons and ribbons. After all the formalities we were given a brief explanation of the car and control, service intervals and run – in driving method. Lastly a picture with the sales in-charge, My family and me with the car was clicked. We were then handed over the car keys. It rides very well when seated. The car doesn’t jump or bounce if taken at high speeds over any pothole The suspension is absoultely good, Visibility i feel like i was in SUV Ritz looks refreshing and is having a different kind of appeal. Boomerang tail lamps look nice and the design on the front end looks little resembling from an Audi. Large grills with the Suzuki logo look imposing and neat. Coming to rear end for me I like the shape and designed made by the engineers.

      Good looks and economic service and maintainence. Driven almost 150000 kms. Still in good condition. Lot of space inside it. Thing Which I like most is good ground clearance. Comfortable sitting position for driving. Nice unique interiors about which everyone appreciates. In my opinion this car is mix of beauty and comfort.
