Eight grades across the Rizta and 450 for CSD is a lot. My first thought is always 'so, is there underseat storage?' — the Rizta leans practical, so it probably has some. With GST concessions on top for military buyers, this becomes a genuinely good deal. Kind of a shame the flagship Apex isn't included though.
