RITZ ZDi - After 11000KM

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.
