The only cars i am looking at are the Swift and the Ritz both in "LDi Mode".
The Reason?
1. Grande Punto MJD: Beyond my budget and also not very sure if i want to get into another FIAT ownership relationship. I’m a dad now and i just don’t have time to spend at the service centre. Moreover unlike in the adventure i see nothing unique in this car. Those who remember would know that i bought the adventure coz it was a once in a lifetime opportunity for me at that time. Times have changed and now i just dont have time to spare for services.
2.Vista Q-Jet: Well. This is the REAL car i would like to own. I like the space, the looks, the comfort, the ride. Almost everything except the ugly steering wheel and more importantly the doubt back in my mind on how stress free the ownership would be. I now need a car that would not require my time at the service centre trying to ensure they are doing a good job. So this one too is OUT. …Sadly.
Now the BIG question. What car do i buy among the Swift and the Ritz?
The last few days i spent looking at threads that mention about both Ritz and Swift. To be very frank i am left very confused. Lots of things said. Some by owners, some by people who have test driven, some from what owner friends have said, some hearsay. I really cant make up my mind or decide which one would be better.
Could the people who have driven Both cars (in any mode) help me out here.
PS: Test Drive experience of Ritz VDi will follow.
