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.
