Datsun GO VS Hyundai Santro VS Maruti Suzuki Celerio VS Maruti Suzuki WagonR VS Tata Tiago
 |
| Datsun GO |
The GO comes across as a well-thought-out budget hatchback. You get a spacious cabin, a big boot & what is arguably is the peppiest engine in its segment. It is easy to drive & fuel economy is good as well. It is affordable but does feel too pared down, lacking many creature comforts.
FOR - Peppy engine & easy to drive.2ry8rwih - Plenty of cost cutting, sales & service network is still small.
VERDICT - Well priced, practical & easy to drive, but feels built to a cost.

| Tata Tiago |
The Tiago is an impressive car. It's fresh from a facelift & even more attractive, comes with plenty of kit & has a cabin & a ride/handling package that belong to a segment above. The lacklustre petrol engine takes away from what is a well-rounded, well-priced product. The AMT is not best of its kind but is a viable an option for urban buyers.
FOR - Design, Spacious & well-priced.
AGAINST - Unimpressive engine.
VERDICT - Competent hatchback that scores big on value.
