thank you man!!! its nicely tabulated,please specify the mileage sector if possible
Ritz mileage : Diesel 12kmpl, Petrol 10kmpl
Astar mileage :13kmpl
Mileage given is for city driving and is only approximate.
helpful info, thanks.
just mention which is suitable for feminine driving
well devika, there is no such thing as feminine driving. But i think women are usually more comfortable with smaller cars.
In that case , go for the A-star.
Really useful information given thanx
ritz an awesome car... interiors of ritz are superb, even better den i20,jazz and fabia.. u will enjoy d luxury comfort when driving ritz.As far engine is considered, petrol k series and diesel engine..both are too good... ritz have more sapce, comfortable legroom and head space..
i buyed a-star vxi it is really good looking car. it is too good.
I had a astar it's very good better but ritz came after a star so it may be better then a star but has same engine
i do not think that we should bye bye ritz
to be continude.....
Ritz has superb ride quality. Suspension is very soft and soaks all the bumps on road. Ritz is returning 19 kmpl of diesel. Ritz has great pickup and power delivery. Braking is excellent and car is stable at higher speeds. A Star is true star
Maruti A Star is going to stir the segment because, Maruti will launch A Star with automatic gears in July 2010. Yes friends, now I will book A Star automatic instead of that Korean car i10
maruti is giving automatic gears to A star and the car will be available from mid of july 2010. If you are looking for automatic variant, go for A Star.
Maruti A-Star has huge scope. Especially the recently launched Automatic variant is priced 22,000 rupees lesser than i10 automatic. Hence, all will go only for A Star automatic...
mileage of A Star in long ride
A-star is Good car really I am enjoying it.
i bought astar 1 year back its giving mil. of 20kmpl ,its the best car in this segment and at this price range
Astar getting a mileage of 22kmpl

A star is the best to steer and one having guts can play the road.
