Hi,
I am Vijay and i am from pune, I was also in same situation, Whether to choose i10, ford figo, Ritz, or Liva.
For me:
1. Milage
2. After Sales service
3. Price
4. Resale value
5. Comfort.
6. Initial Pricing
is important, Because I feels, To purchase a car is more easier than maintaining it.
I took test drive of figo, i10, Ritz, waganr, ALTO k10.
My monthly running is appr: 1000 KM.
I also dont want to keep car in my parking only thinking of price per KM. To enjoy life, I have decided to go for Diesel car. So only two options left as my budget was tight, Budget was as less as possible(around 5.5 lacs), Initially I booked SWIFT, but i was not in position to wait 3-6 months, also new SWIFT may costs me around 6.3 lacs.
Took test drive for Ford Figo Diesel: Experience was awesome. It is best value for money(Too many features within my budget 5.6 lacs). Was excited and decided to book Ford figo. Ritz Diesel: Experience was also good, but Major drawback is its look. Sales guy told me average is around 21 km pl, interior good, 60:40 split ratio is good. Boot space ok.
I found that Figo is with less power, was not sure about its long running performance. Feels that Ritz Engine (same in swift, dezire, punto, vista, manza) is Proven and much better than Ford figo. Long running Average for Ritz Diesel is better than Figo Diesel. Also considered Resale value. Better fuel average. After sales service.
Booked Ritz LDI: Blaze Blue. Accessories: purchased from maruti showroom they offered me 6300 Rs discount, total accessories worth 18800(as per there price list ) they offered me for 12500 Rs.
Didnt like seat covers, so plannig to purchase seat covers, Central locking, wheel covers from outside. Today I will be getting delivery of my new car. Very much excited, Just want to share my experience.
