I had a Ritmo for several years in Europe ... I admit that the car rusted easily and had electrical problems often but as far as the steering is concerned, to say that it is "... vague, imprecise and extremely heavy" is totally untrue! actually there are a number of web sites which to this day refer to the Ritmo's steering as go-cart/sports car like. I was great, one of the high points of the car, so that should be corrected in my opinion.

[edit] Two Facelifts ?

The article refers to a face lift. From the outside, post face lift Ritmos are easy to distinguish because the bumper design is simplified front and back: and the front grill is also less controversial post face lift. However, SOME post face lift cars have round door handles (apparently like those on the original version) while others have rectangular door handles. Presumably the change was made on cost grounds, so would not necessarily have been trumpeted from the roof tops in marketing materials. However, it also would have made no sense for the factory to try and produce the same car simultaneously with two completely different door handle cut-outs and mechanisms. Can anyone remember - or find from some old service manual - if there was, in fact, and at some stage, a second face lift advertised? Thanks for any thoughts on itCharles01 06:41, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
