        hmm..so ritz is the clear winner here.no takers for Punto?Isnt rita a tall boy design? Also is it a bit undertyred or both are my misconceptions?Sent via phone pls ignore any typos

        Punto is a good vehicle with very good performance and nice build quality,but the sales suffered because of its poor A.S.S because its taken care by Tata So what if Tall boy is concerned? You can upsize the tyres if you wish and it wont cost that much

        ?Raunak Verma Everyone loves the Punto, no one buys it :) Sales are very low nowadays. Ritz is what it is – a reliable, well built diesel that rides like a good tall boy car should. Safest buy in this price range for a diesel…

        Any ideas hw much will the tyre upgrade cost?hws the cornering ability of the ritz.does it wobble/vibrate a lot on hi speeds? What abt rattles etc.?Does the vdi come with integrated audio n stuff?Sry..too many questions, but I just want to make sure before making any financial commitments. abt punto..I too love it, but a little skeptical abt ASS.…[Read more]

        From 4..to 5 and now 6, if I increase it up by couple of $, will have to ask my landlord to let me n for couple of mnths for free :D Fabia: except the interiors nothing excites me, add to it the horror skoda stories.If I had a 50k more, then wud have added another 50 and wud take the Manza. Anyways, 6 is the max, add another 25-30 for the ICE and…[Read more]

        About the rattles,yes Ritz feels rattling over speeds of 120+kmph because of its tall boy design,but the wider tyres makes it settled if you plan to upgrade it.The VDI doesn’t come with audio player,you have spend for that and tyres.About the Figo it is a good car with good suspension,spacious interiors than ritz sharp handling,but the main…[Read more]

        Well both Ritz and Figo are capable hatchbacks.My 2 cents :Ritz :+ Reliability,niggle free nature. Maruti Advantage.+ SUV like stance,good visibility for the driver. Relatively easy ingress+ DDiS engine is very efficient (better than Figo), and very torquey in its turbo zone.+ Acceptable ride quality and handling entertaining for a tall car.…[Read more]

        Well..td’d both of them yesterday, extensively.Ritz indeed is the clear winner as far as the engine is concerned.I hated the interiors to the core, and even in the vdi i am not getting any ICE, added features etc. Ingress is definitely easier.Dint feel very confident while on hi-speed, mainly because of the taller stance maybe.Otr hyd: 6.37 L, no…[Read more]

    Skoda Fabia D, Maruti Suzuki Swift VDi or Nissan Micra XV? I am planning to buy one of these. I want a vehicle which will be suitable for long drives on not so perfect roads. Mostly it will be driven on roads which have crater like potholes. I have had a test drive of the Fabia and found it to be good. Personally, I don't like the suspension of the Swift which feels like a shoe without a sol -- more --

        my only consideration is the suspension considering specially the pilani’s so called roads !! even the route from delhi is not so good… and as far as the FE goes, i guess both are more or less the same …

        Swift suspension should not be an issue, but u’ll encounter rattles for sure

        Yes Vista is a good bet and a good vehicle to handle the bad roads of our Indian roads.The’THUD’ Feel rarely makes it presence inside you may consider that too.
