I bought this beauty a month ago (March 2010). This is our first car. The things I liked about Ritz Vxi are the looks(different and cool), sheer power of the K series engine, huge space. Space is ample as once I drove with two 6 ft tall persons sitting one behind the other and they were absolutely comfortable (amazingly) with the leg space. The height of the car also gives a spacious feel to the rear passengers.
Pick up and acceleration is fast. Excellent maneuverability. Robust and well carved dashboard (comparable to sedans)
07/05/2010: I have driven around 900 kms. Mileage is somewhere between 14- 15 kmpl (will update after the refill). I daily travel approx 39 kms, 70% highway 30% city, with AC on. In early days I faced problem with the A pillar of the car. I nearly missed a two wheeler coming from the right side. From then on I made conscious effort to observe traffic coming from right by tilting my head. Gear shift from 4th to 5th is not smooth.
Does anyone else also experiences the same problem?? Apart from this, the gear shifting is smooth and a pleasure.
