ecekarthik 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2009 I think it is the new K12 engine which has made a really big impact. And the ritz diesel is a bit on the pricey side too. On road bombay is almost 6 laks. A few thousand more would get you a fully loaded swift I think the lower price of petrol ritz difference is because of the sub 1.2L engine which provides tax concessions. Off Topic- What will be the impact on Swift prices when we get the 1.2L engine in the Swift for BS 4 compliance? If Maruti passes on the benefit then will we see a similar skew?

akash_uranus 0 Report post Posted September 5, 2009 I just read on teambhp forum that MS has discontinued the production of Swift petrol. Hence this could also be one of the reasons for such a huge demand for Ritz petrol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anveshp 0 Report post Posted September 10, 2009 Really' date=' the diesel Ritz sports unbelievable performance..I'm driving one. Regarding the demand, i think Maruti pumps out loads of Ritz..but the overwhelming demand for Ritz petrol is making maruti to difficult to meet the demand. I have not seen any car featuring in the most selling cars list in a month after launch.[/quote']Raj, How do you find the roadview from inside the RITZ ? I am 5 '10 and i some how felt that i couldnt see the left corner and know how far is the nose ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gameboy001 0 Report post Posted September 10, 2009 well anveshp .. this is somethin u will have to adjust.. i m 6 feet tall and its still impossible to see the bonet (part of it is only visible wen the viper is up).. but the nose of the car is pretty small. not much ahead of the end of dashboard that u can see. and after abt 50 odd kms u will adjust to it very well.. atleast thats all it took me to adjust.

autoraj 0 Report post Posted September 13, 2009 Really I found the all around visibility is good. But one of my freinds who own ritz told me he spent time to get the right position.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
creativebala 178 Report post Posted September 14, 2009 Poor visibility is the in thing in auto industry, blame it on submersible cabins, which save lives on the event of collision. Here the worst being innova followed by indica, spark,..etc. In few days of continuous driving you will get used to front corners. If you still dont feel confident on this, attach a flag stick like one, as most innova has and this should fix your problem. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Endless 1 Report post Posted September 14, 2009 now a days, not a single hatchback's nose is visible and i never seen any one opting for flags for help, even novice driver (learners). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chawla 0 Report post Posted September 14, 2009 i might be sounding dumb but can someone tell me which flag we are talking about and what is the purpose of it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Endless 1 Report post Posted September 14, 2009 @chawla: we are talking about small iron or other metal made flag or stick that is place at the co-ordinates of the car (left side and right side of bonnet) vertically. just like you would have seen at minister's Ambassador car.
