    Hi Everyone, As i am almost 6 feet in height , I am almost to book Ritz zxi, earlier i chose Figo Petrol Titanium, but later i dropped my plans to buy figo due to not so good after sales service of ford cars, and heard spare parts are not easy to find. Heart still says Figo , but mind says Ritz zxi. Pls help me overall, which of the two are better.

        You will find the Figo’s seats to be low and the footwell unnecessarily cramped. I will suggest the Ritz

        Both cars are really good and you will see opinions fairly divided over here! :) Figo Titanium has got Bluetooth connectivity, better legroom at rear and bigger boot. Ritz ZXi has got 60/40 split seat, tall boy structure (although not an advantage but this might be needed in your case), rear power windows and powerful + fuel efficient engine.

        The Ritz ZXI probably has an edge here. Bluetooth, can be easily added – you get clip-on units these days that cost about Rs. 6000. Otherwise, it’s got pretty much everything going for it. The Figo would have more boot space and rear-seat space though.

        Could someone please give their opinion on Ford’s aftersales service, i guess that’s a big deciding factor.

        Well, its good enough to not be a deciding factor against the Figo. Thats for sure

        I would say to go for Ritz. Its more VFM than Figo and will easily draw a good resale value. Maruti’s after sale service would be a peace of mind.

        You can expect 12kmpl in city, with 16-17kmpl on the highway. Similar figures for both manual and automatic variants. Cost of service and maintenance is surprisingly economical. A regular service should cost no more than 2500-3000. Its just that parts like clutches and suspensions are quite expensive to replace. Ground clearence is average. You…[Read more]

        The Honda City does manage to deliver 12-13Kmpl in the city and 15-16Kmpl or a bit more on the highways. As mentioned above, clutch assembly, suspension and shocker overhaul is a bit expensive but regular service is economical and Hondas don’t demand regular maintenance.

        Shreyans and Abhik have given you the average mileage figures. Honda’s regular service bills are not expensive, but spares are slightly on the higher side. The good part is not much goes wrong with a City.

        The avg services are affordable, if not cheap. But the good news is City doesn’t require regular services, it runs flawlessly for a long duration. The spares could be expensive but had have no faulty party yet and my city is more than two years old.

        The CarToq database has been filtered to show only BSIV compliant cars. The 800 is no longer available in metros and is only in tier II cities and rural areas, hence it’s not on the list.

        i know it is no longer available in the metros, but i guess there are enough people who own 800s anyway n the column is for ‘cars i own’ i doesn’t matter whether it’s available new or not
        for instance i own a 800 but can’t add it to my list

      • Profile picture of %s
         
        Devdath Narayan 7 months ago

        The Manza is a better car on the highway due to its lower stance and better engine. The only sore is Tata’s after sales support but if you build a rapport with your service station, you should be happy.

        Sx4 would be a safer bet tata cars have certain reliability issues, but why don’t thou look at other cars in the segment like the rapid n fiesta

        Roshun Povaiah 7 months ago

        The Manza for sure has more features and a better rear seat. If you are going to be driving and not sitting as a passenger, then the SX4 feels better to drive. Depending on that, you can pick either of them. Both have the same basic engine – 1.3 diesel multijet sourced from Fiat, producing about 90 PS of power.

        I would recommend Vento, since it is having excellent handling, a superior gearbox and ergonomics. The VW service is an unproven territory. It is very good for city drives as well since it has a very good suspension and can absorb bumps and potholes with ease. The paint quality is very good as well.

        The Piaggio apart from the badge itself is demanding that premium for a very well built scooter keeping that retro-styling but still managing to deliver a technologically updated scooter with an all metal body construction. Once you test ride both of your examples and pit them against the Vespa, I am pretty much sure you will swing towards the Vespa.
