I have been driving Maruti Ritz VXi for the last around 30 months and must say its "outstanding". So spacious - a lot of head room/leg room/elbow room. Pick up is excellent. Even after having it driven for around 24, 000 kms it still is working in superb condition. Giving me a very good average of 13.5 with A.C. in city and around 16 kmph on highways. A.C. is also super cool.
On my first test drive I was certain that this is the car I want. Every time I tried other cars (test drive) it was like compelling me to settle only for Ritz so finally settled down with VXi version and by the Grace of God - its working great.
It can easily accommodate five persons. Rear seats are really comfortable - head space and leg space. My experience has been that I have never felt tired even after driving say around 250 kms. At a stretch and same is with the others sitting rear. I would say it is the best buy - moneywise and comfortwise.
