I am Using This Car since Nov 2014

Exterior Overal Good(My Oesonal Opinion). Could have been better back on the facelifted version.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Above average as compared to Hundai i10. Lot of space for storage.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine perormance is very good in VXI with it K Series Engine. I am Getting a mileage of 21 KMPL on Highways. Gear Box is smooth as compared to Swift VXI.

Ride Quality & Handling Good view, Handling is smooth, I drove a Ghat road with 9 Haipin bends with my two fingers.

Final Words Good car for a nuclear family of four members especially have more height 5'10''

Areas of improvement Nothing to improve as the Car production is no more. The could have introduce modified rear poart in its face lifted version.

Maruti’s new age hatches are fun to drive. The Swift & A-star proof of this. This car may have a tall stance, but it also has a firm long travel suspension. As a result, the handling is composed for a tall-boy. The body roll is well controlled, surprisingly, it doesn’t lean into corners uncomfortably. This is a thoroughly modern hatchback, even at a 100 kph it feels planted (well, as well as a hatchback can be). The Ritz is not as chuckable as the Swift, but a pretty balanced drive nevertheless. Impressive that it doesn’t feel like a tall boy (massive step ahead of a WagonR for instance).

Ride quality stays consistently good at the front, with a firm side to it. However, on the back seat, it was damn bouncy (city speeds of 30 – 50 kph) on typically Indian roads. As the speedometer climbed, it flattened out to an extent, but don’t expect a comfortable ride within the city over uneven road patches. The electric power steering is well-weighted and direct (but gives no feedback to the enthusiasts amongst us). 170 mm of ground clearance (raised from Euro spec 140 mm) with a firm suspension setup didn’t see the Ritz bottoming out anywhere (with 3 on board). The controls are extremely light, and this combined with peppy engines, makes the Ritz a fantastic drive within the city. The turning circle is tight as well. Nothing to write about the brakes. Standard fare. Brakes are reassuring and have decent feel. ABS available (and highly recommended) as an option on the Vxi / Vdi.

• Launch on the 15th of May. 
• The Ritz is better suited for 4 rather than 5 passengers.
• The air-con was very effective, even in the hot Vizag summer. Didn’t need to go over position 2. 
• I posed a question to Maruti as to why there isn’t an automatic gearbox offered on the Ritz (when chief competitor i10 does). Answer : Automatic market is too miniscule to focus on at the moment. However, I still believe that an auto Ritz would have given it a positive image & would bring / retain many a customer within the Maruti family. 
• No airbags on the top-end diesel 
• Maruti has skimped on an internal boot release.

Lot of space and Good Engine performanceAverage interior plastic quality and ugly back design
