Ritz is better choice than swift and figo

Exterior

 A car that has character and looks stylish. I bought the firebrick red car on 21st June 2012 after considering figo and swift as alternates. Figo though is comfortable to drive, has issues with ground clearance, rear height, rear seat having no head rest, and partially opening rear windows. Swift has a long waiting period and is too common on the road. Swift also does not have as much space as ritz at the rear.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort

Very spacious. Can easily seat 3 at the back. I like the placement of the gear knob, has a great feel. Seats at the front and back are well designed. Interiors are good.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Very smooth ride. Diesel version has the grunt typical of diesel engines, but is not noisy. Pickup is great and gear changes are smooth, like the click when the gear shifts. I am first time driver, so have been driving 2nd gear for practice. But I have still got over 15 kmpl.

Ride Quality & Handling

Smooth ride and handling. Very comfortable to drive.

Final Words

Overall a great car. You will not have any disappointments.  

Areas of improvement  

Spent Rs 20,000/- on accessories. Maruti does not give anything free especially for diesel cars. I got a leather (rexin) seat cover for 4,500/-, Pioneer DVD music system for 7,200/-, Rear oval speakers 500W pioneer for 3,200/-, Front  door speakers for 1,500/-, Rear tray (wooden) Rs 400/-, Steering cover (leather, stiching) for Rs 450/-, Remote central locking with reverse horn for Rs 2,900/-
