Is the Ritz a good first car to buy for new drivers in 2024?

As a first car the Ritz is still relevant. It's easy, it's reliable, and it's not going to cost a fortune. Ideal for getting started.

I love the tall-boy design! Especially for older folks or for people with back issues, it's so practical to get in and out of.

No, it's a toaster on wheels, nah. I would rather have something sportier and modern looking.

It’s actually pretty clever design. The car is not too long, but it maximizes interior space. Ideal for tight city parking!

I think it's aged poorly. It is outdated and boxy and compared with newer hatchbacks.

The design is a love it or hate it design, but I appreciate Maruti trying something different than being safe.

It's great for families, as the tall-boy design means it feels more like a mini-MPV than a hatchback.

I think it’s kind of cute in a quirky way. It’s got character, which some of the cookie cutter designs don’t.
Does the larger 7 seater WagonR make economic sense compared to larger MPVs?
30 December 2024 10:16
It's been a game changer for my family. The WagonR, a 7 seater, gives us that flexibility when we need it, we couldn’t afford an Ertiga. Also, it's a lot more fuel efficient than other larger MPVs. It’s all about being smart about compromises.
Does the larger 7 seater WagonR make economic sense compared to larger MPVs?
30 December 2024 10:16
I don't see the point. What are you saving? A couple of lakhs? You are compromising on space and comfort. In the long run, it's better to stretch your budget to a proper MPV. The WagonR is a half measure.
Does the larger 7 seater WagonR make economic sense compared to larger MPVs?
30 December 2024 10:16
It depends on your use case. If you need seven seats a day, a bigger car is the way to go. However, the WagonR seems to make sense for occasional use. It's cheaper to run, easier to park, and you still have that extra capacity when you need it.
Does the larger 7 seater WagonR make economic sense compared to larger MPVs?
30 December 2024 10:16
I've done the numbers, and the 7 seater WagonR can be more economical, just so long as you're smart about it. The savings at the beginning are nice, but you also have to consider things like the wear and tear from having a full load all of the time.
Does the larger 7 seater WagonR make economic sense compared to larger MPVs?
30 December 2024 10:16
People are missing the point, I think. This isn't about taking away from full size MPV; it is about adding versatility to the small car segment. It's the difference for many between a 7 seater or not. That's valuable.
Is the 7 seater WagonR safe with the full load of passengers?
30 December 2024 10:16
It's reasonably safe for city use, I think. If Maruti wouldn't release it, it must have met safety standards. Common sense will do, though — don't overload it, and perhaps don't take it on long highway trips with a full load.
Is the 7 seater WagonR safe with the full load of passengers?
30 December 2024 10:16
Are you kidding? It’s a disaster waiting to happen cramming seven people into a car that small. The crumple zones have to be small, and I can't imagine that the third row has any real protection in a rear end collision.
Is the 7 seater WagonR safe with the full load of passengers?
30 December 2024 10:16
It's all relative. How safe is it compared to a Volvo XC90? Of course not. It's a big step up, however, compared to people who cram into auto rickshaws or onto motorcycles. It is about safety within a budget.
Is the 7 seater WagonR safe with the full load of passengers?
30 December 2024 10:16
I’ve done some research on the safety features and they seem ok on paper. I'm skeptical how they would perform in a real crash with full load. Honestly, I’d feel safer in a larger vehicle.

Come on, safety in India isn’t just about car, it’s also about defensive driving. If kept well and driven carefully, the 7 seater WagonR can be good as family use car.
Will the 7-seater WagonR eat into sales of other Maruti models such as the Ertiga?
30 December 2024 10:16
It won't hurt Ertiga sales much I think. An Ertiga is bought by people who want that extra space and comfort. The 7 seater WagonR is for a different crowd, those that occasionally need extra seats but don’t want a big car.
Will the 7-seater WagonR eat into sales of other Maruti models such as the Ertiga?
30 December 2024 10:16
Ertiga sales are definitely going to eat into this. Why spend more on an Ertiga when you can get 7 seats in a cheaper and more fuel efficient package? Maruti are shooting themselves in the foot here.
