Hi Friends,
I own a Ritz ZXI since one and a half-years now.
Ever wondered why advertisement of Ritz is not done aggresively.
Just like in old days i have never seen an ad of yamaha rx 100 which was a jewel indeed. I guess the same thing is with Ritz which is a best kept secret.
I never thoght of buying this car initiallty and had my eyes on Polo , Swift , Figo and Punto. Everyone around me kept me de-motivated about Ritz because of rear looks.I was confused over other options also after test drive as well. Then one day i took a drive of Ritz of one of my friend on the highway. That convinced me totally that this is the car for me.
Forget negetive thought about rear looks which anyway won't matter after 1-2 months. All you will think about is performance and comfort.
Therefore,got myself a Ritz ZXI (Blazing Blue color with Alloy wheels (. Here is an account of my one and a half year of experience of this fantastic machine.
Exterior Exteriors are not that bad as many people put it. It has got a tough look and the tail lights look superb at night.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) I guess this was a suprise for me. The seating height makes you feel like driving a SUV. I was suprised to see so much space in inside. Very comfortable Lot of trays and utilities to keep things inisde. Gear box is nicely within reach. ZXI comes equipped with air bags as well. Oerall you will feel cozy while inside the car.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I have travelled long distances with this car - Shimle , Narkanda , Jaipur , Mussourie , Chandigrah from Delhi. Boss this is the car to beat on highways . Not even a single car could touch its speed . Somehow after 60-70Km / hr this car can speed real quick to 160 km/hr . The engine responds brilliantly when you demand more power.
The engine is very silent and you won't notice any difference in sound or power with a/c or without a/c. Within city with a/c in peak summers , i ahve seen mostly a mileage of 13-14 km/litre. But on optimum drive in city gives me around 17 km/ litre and on highways around 20 km/litre.
Ride Quality & Handling I have driven for hours and never felt cramped wherever i stopped. The stability on high speeds is very good
Final Words I have driven variety of cars but Ritz is definitely special. I guess this car always amazes me with its performance and comfort. This is a great value for money car and definitely a best kept secret waiting to be revealed only for its lucky owners.
Areas of improvement A nice set f cup holders will add more excitement on long drives.
