The Ritz has been serving as a tracking car during the OverDrive photo shoots and has served its purpose well. The best part about it is the seating position and the huge glass area which is excellent for visibility but something of an handicap in the monsoons as water droplets block the view in all directions says OverDrive (Aug. ’09). The rubber lining through which the window glass slides out is not snug enough and also the absence of a rear wiper makes things difficult in the rain.
Otherwise the boot is good and in the midst of all the monsoon chaos the OverDrive testers have been quite happy with the Ritz.
