Exterior

 Good design, different from the lot.. very sporty...

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

It would have been a little better... Even for a highend(ZDi) it makes us to feel that there is too much of a plastic.... Music system remote is not working from the day 1 I took... 3 services over.. every time I remind them still it is not fixed.... Standard response from the dealer that this is a Nippon music system and I need to take it to them....

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Proven engine, good performance, gear shifting is little hard(may be with my engine) else it is good... Too much of black smoke when raised above 2500 RPM (again may be with my engine) taken to service station... still living with the same problem.... Fuel economy - 18 to 20 on Highway... 14 to 15 within city (Bangalore) which is good I would say.....

Ride Quality & Handling

It feels very good when you are at the wheels.... only problem I felt was the stability when crossing 120... May be we should not be pusing it beyond that neither our roads can handle that speed... but still it is ok for an average speed of 80 to 100 KM..

Visibility for passengers at rear is good... however I feel there is a scope for improvement on the rear comfort.. 

Final Words

 Good car.. little pricyyyy... 

Areas of improvement  

Customer connect from Maruthi needs improvement... Since the time I bought the car there is no instance that I felt I have connected with maruthi as a group...... There is a scope for improvment.... The reason to mention this is thought I have given my strong review comments on the business feedback card there is no one either from Maruthi or the dealer to even acknowlege the findings... This is something which will be a basic expectation from any customer... There are instances of better experience which makes a custer to feel better to own the product.... For a car I think Maruthi can do something... Anyways there are ample customers for Maruthi.... Just thought of voicing it out... 

Style, PerformancePlastic feel interiors even for the top end.. Stability beyond 120KM.

Exterior

 Looks good from front & Back but from side it looks little down

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 its really value for money for the interiors like the features that provided, space & comfort. Definitely it has very decent leg room for back seat.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Excellent in terms of performance. Zero noise from engine when on. couple of times i mistakenly tried to start the car thinking it has stopped....:)

Ride Quality & Handling

 Amazing

Final Words

 Its definitely value for the money you spend for this car when compared to other brands like i10, figo, beat..etc

Areas of improvement  

 At least central locking with remote should have been given by default for this variant, like its been provided for swift vxi. Since when i had taken it to the car accessories shop for adding remote central locking, it looked very odd the way it was being handeled by the technician.

 

Looks good form out, Very comfortable inside due to the tall boy image, decent featuresonly drawback i found is that you need to buy central locking & music system additional.

Exterior

 I like the exterior style and unable to find any fault with it though this could have been better giving more legroom for rear passengers and more boot space.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Sufficient leg & head room. I like the Dash borard style and short gear. The fit and finsh can improve further.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

I bought the car in May 2012 and covered 15K in one year. Out of which 9K were only long drives. Approximately 1520 KM ( from Chennai to Trivandrum and back) done 5 times and chennai to Ooty one time. Long drive comfort is OK if you take adequate breaks inbetween. Then engine performance is excellent. Got average of 17 on highway and 12 in city. Initially the reverse gear was not smooth but after second service it is fine.

Ride Quality & Handling

Very good if you drive 80 to 100 km/hr. Pushing it above  120 felt less confident and mileage comes down drastically.  Good gound clearance and handles well most of pathholes and spead breakers. Felt little bit body roll in slow speeds. Need to maintain constant tyre pressure of 34 psi. I use only air and didn't find any noticeable difference with nitrogen which was filled during my first long drive. You can enjoy driving with this car when you drive relaxed in average constant speed of 90. Cornering ability is not that good when compared to other hatches like ford figo and driving during very good winds not giving much confidence in control. May be due to the 'tall boy' design.

Final Words

A good hatch for family.

Areas of improvement  

Headlight, Blind spots from driver side view, no dead pedal and a level high clutch and break levers from floor, poor rear visibility, overall fit and finish. Price wise felt 20 to 30 K more for the features provided. No rear wiper. Rear seat comfort and thigh support.

 

Engine performance, High Seating position, Spacious interior, Good control on long highway drivingHeadlight not giving any confidence during night driving, The tyre noise

Ritz Vdi

Exterior

Look are subjective, personally i like it.but couple of issues: paint quality is really bad, body is not that stongly built. Generally in city driving conditions it is very often that you endup getting scratches and dents, but for this car it seems like paint easily gets scrached off and easily dented.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Internally is it feels sturdy built. very roomy, very comfortable for long drives, because of high seating position. decent space at the back. commanding driving view, boot is not that spacious..but again its a hatchback. boot might be marginally less than swift.

very minimal cabin noise...sometimes u dont even feel if engine is running when you are waiting at a traffic signal.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

full marks here...its a beast in terms of power and pickup and can easily overtake any car.

even after completing 35000 kms..no issues with engine or performance. gives mileage of about 17-18kmpl in city(hyderabad).

 

Ride Quality & Handling

very smooth, good suspunsion. when turbo kicks in...its a joy ride. steering very responsive.

easy to manuver in city and at no time you feel short of power

Final Words

best hatchback, and VFM car.

ABT THAMARASSERY, Calicut(Dist)

I bought   Maruti Suzuki Ritz VDI  from  ABT   CALICUT  in March   2011.

At 20000 Km  we did service( 2 year service)  from   ABT   THAMARASSERY,  Calicut(Dist) on April 18, 2013.

After 2 months on July 2nd, on our travel to Calicut. Car broke down. We checked with nearby mechanic. There was no Battery water at all.  The Battery was completely dry.  We had to install a new  battery  since the old battery was completely non chargeable and not working.

We contacted ABT  Thamarassery, they said they are not ready to do any compensation for this.  It is very clear they have not changed Battery water and thats the reason for our terrible experience with Ritz during our  jouRNEY.

Exterior The Tall Boy look is not so common in India, may be that's why people feel different. But this look is very popular in Europe countries and in Japan as it has better grip on road in high speed. A perfact Aerodynamic shape, a classy look.... Finally I own the best car in 1500 cc segment.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) is just superb and can compre with Innova. The best thing is the gear handle position, your hand will automatically come on the gear. Dashboard is cool in new Ritz and the visibity is the best in its class. he person who is sitting on the back side, can feel like Royal comfort (This feedback has give by my family and friends). A perfact family car, at the same time it is too Stylish.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Very good, sifting gear is very smooth but may be in brand new car someone may feel little bit problem. Over the period of time that will be not there for sure. Good fuel efficient car.

Ride Quality & Handling Riding quality is just WOW!!!!! You will only say one word after riding this car and it is 'Amazing'! The quick pick up and the smoothness on the road is just Fantastic. I am proud to own a Ritz.

The car is very stable even on the higheway @ 150+ speed, it is my personal experience. A safe car for my family.

Final Words If anyone is looking for a Hatchback car within 1500cc segment then Go For It Now!

Areas of improvement Interior design Improvement.

Pick up, Comfort, Stability on highway, Placement of Gear, Visibility, Less Engine sound and go on..Less back side visibility

Exterior Good. Sporty look.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Excellent. In trafiic it gives approx 15kms/lt and on highway one can get close to 16.5 km/lt.

Ride Quality & Handling Excellent.

Final Words If one has a budget of around 6 lakhs. Go for it.

Areas of improvement Rear view and back space can be improved.

Purchasing swift can be costly. If one wants to get a budget car with almost every feature..go for Ritz. It is comfortable. I am using for past 1.5 years. It is fuel efficient.

I also had the confusion to choose between Swift and Ritz.

Though both are good. But one that came in my budget was Ritz. I do not rate it less than swift but few features where it lags are:

1) Rear view is not as good as swift.

2) Backspace is less compared to Swift.

Rest I say it is equally good.

😎

1) Fuel and Economy 2) Ground Clearance 3) Pick up1) Rear View and back space is less

Exterior

Good, However the back door design is such that, if you open while standing in front of you, its top portion is coming very near to you. This you will not realize, when the car door is closed.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Interior is spacious. Position of the gears is such that driver gets the enough elbow room, hence it does not touch with the co rider. Gears are also very comfortable to operate. Dashboard has digital display.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Engine performance is very good. Starts at one cell even after 4 years. Fuel economy is avergae, Gearbox is good. However, during reveses, it does not engage all time, you need to take it forward and then reverse, This seems design fault.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Good

Final Words

 If you buy it, you will not repent. 

Areas of improvement  

 Fuel economy. Gear box for reverse, Dash board can have the better light and backgroud like Hyudai. Current dash board had yellow light.  

 

Good style, Good head room, tall boy design, convenient location of gear boxmileage poor compare to Amaze diesel

Exterior

 New Ritz 2013 ZDi looks compact and sturdy. Spoiler & front grill adds style                        

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)                                        

 Specious, more knee room, driver seat height adjustment, ZDI model is power packed..fully loaded.                                         

getting into the car and getting out of a car is very comfortable as its tall boy design.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox                                

 Gear shift is Smooth..almost no noise.. fuel economy nearly 20 KMPL..1st servicing yet to be done.

Ride Quality & Handling

 I find it comfortable and powerful. Compact design helps car zooms through traffic.

Parking is less of an issue. boot space is well than Swift.

Final Words                                              

 Best deal - Ritz ZDI... 100% comfort.. loved Bakers chocolate color
