No contest

If competition is about having the edge, then the Ritz wins hands down. Compared to the other existing B2 segment cars, this new baby by Maruti seems to have the features and advantages that make it a class apart.

Here's a look at some of the innovations that might make you consider buying the latest wheels in town:

· The new K12 engine with high mileage, power and pick up

· Boomerang shaped tail lights complimented by a distinctive curve of the car

· A waterfall designed console for that extra dollop of luxury

· Music controls on steering wheel

· Additional head and leg room

· Effective braking at high speeds and slippery surfaces

· Priced between 3.9-5.2 lakhs making it cost effective

So if that's your budget and you're looking for the best in class, look no further. The Maruti Ritz solves most of the cities problems while giving you great value for your hard earned money. Enjoy!

Conditions Applied

Maturity doesn't come easy. It takes time and effort to gain some. You have to put yourself through the toughest of times to emerge stronger. And when you pull through, the experience only makes you more rich and mature.

The key is to be tested. The one's that have become successful in the world are the ones that have been tested and have yet managed to come out of the situation triumphant.

It's the reason why young cricketers fail when they tour abroad. They haven't been tested there. It's the reason why politicians fail when their portfolio's diversify. They have been tested in those areas. Or the reason why cars don't match up to the different conditions on roads. They are always found wanting.

The new Maruti Ritz which is due the next month, however, claims to be from a different lot. The lot that has been tested, tried and conducted under every possible situation and conditions on European roads. From English cobblestones, through twisty southern Spanish tracks to fast German autobahns, the Maruti Ritz has been well prepared for the journey up ahead.

Add to that a strong and good looking body with a K12 engine that is beefed up with BSIV compliance and you have a car that is revolutionary and revving to go but also been there and done that.

What a Ritz can do...

I'm planning on purchasing the Ritz that's set to be launched next month on Indian roads. Going by what i've heard from car experts and friends who pretend to know alot about cars (there are alot of them) this car is going to be an absolute steal.

There are a host of features and added value applications that will be more than by appreciated by my packed and overworked schedule.

Here's how I plan on utilizing its features to my advantage

Drive to the mountains: It's superlative driveability & safety, comprising of a collapsible steering column, foot-protection-design brake and clutch pedals, front-seatbelt pretensioners and force limiters, energy-absorbing trim, and front, front-side, and curtain airbags makes it a car that I can run away with.
Go shopping: Her strong loking face with sharp lines, bold contours, and chrome accents give the body a sporty, emotionally appealing look while making me look good at the same time.
Take the kids out: With 1150 litres of storage space I can prety much take whoever I want inside my car without complaining.
Go to work: The Ritz comes packed with the new K12 engine which is BSIV compliant. Neither will I be cauing much harm to the environment or my fuel allowance.
Sleep: The rear seat of the splash can be folded down at a flick of the wrist. The interiors are the most soothing blue in the world and the car is 3.7 metres long. sounds like the perfect bedroom. ;)
These are some of the few things that I intend on doing with my Ritz. I'm sure that my demands of her will increase as we continue. But then a great car always rises to the challenges. I know she will too.
