Budget Car Comparison - Datsun Go vs Renault Kwid vs Kia Picanto vs Mahindra KUV vs Suzuki Celerio

[@cozmoblaststore]

I don't know who the presenter is, but I love this dude. No fuss no frills. Awesome.

[@mohanimo]

My South Africa friends, from my personal experience Suzuki celerio is a moving coffin. The brand has the worst safety record overall. That doesn't mean the rest of cars here are safer, at least here in India other brands like Renault, Kia and Mahindra have taken serious steps to improve the safety of their cars after a series critics, and Mahindra had even managed to get 4&5 star rating for its new products. But Suzuki appears not worried about it. My suggestion will be to you friends, Safety is prime when considering cheap car. All the best people. Love from India.🙂

It would seem like there are different phases when it comes to getting a car 1. I need to get where I need to go 2. I need something more reliable for long term 3. I need something faster than this 4. I want something fancier and more luxurious than this Depending on your budget and car knowledge, you can skip the first few phases but most of us have had to go through these phases in order to learn. My wife and I had a Kwid as our first car (phase 1)....long story short, we traded it in for the vivo (phase 2). Some people might go years without issues with their phase 1 car but yeeeey, me and my wife didn't even reach a year before we saw flames. I learnt things I didn't even know like "accelerator cables" etc. Sizwile (we felt the heat). Vivo was our angel. Bit more pricey but well worth it. Not the fastest car out there but very reliable. Interprovincial travel was no hassle. So if you can, try to add a few hundreds to your monthly premium and get a car in a better segment than this...these aren't bad but they won't satisfy you long enough to finish paying them off.

The KIA is really the better built car by a long shot. It's worth spending a few grand more and getting the 'Street' version which adds a lot (ABS, 2nd airbag, power windows). It would be my choice. I agree though that its criminal to exclude ABS on any new car.

[@ryansmithza]

I like these comparative reviews, especially when the unacceptable shortcomings are exposed. In this price segment safety, reliability and warranty should not be compromised. Interesting that VW and Toyota choose not to offer products in this segment. I guess they're too busy counting their money to bother.

I personally would take the picanto... I managed 4.5L/100km with it combined cycle when I last drove it. It's very impressive for a little city car.

[@Rndmaniacs]

Suzuki's are bullet proof mechanically despite the cheaper build quality. I am utterly Shocked at KIA SA, the Picanto in South east Asia gets a 1.2 Auto with 6 airbags, ABS, EBD, Traction control, hill assist, 7 inch touch screen with 6 speakers, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, with auto projector headlights, DRLs, fogs, keyless entry/ push start and modest 175/65/14 alloys for around R170K!

[@howardkerr8174]

I am in the USA, so we don't receive ANY of the cars tested here, but as someone who likes small cars I really enjoyed this test. The presenter has a good voice, clear and concise (which isn't something that can be said about some of the presenters in videos here in the US), and the information was laid out quite well. Of all the cars, the Mahindra looks like a miniature truck, which if it was available in the US could ALMOST be a plus. All the oddball....features(?) give the KUV an interesting bit of character, though I suppose US drivers/buyers would demand more conventional emergency brake handles. But that name....Mahindra needs to shorten it to one, or maybe two, catchy syllables. BTW, "....a full written review will be up on our website, as soon as someone writes it", sounds almost comical.

Hi, May you please do a video about low maintenance cars and how much they would generally cost to own, like the service, petrol and general insurance. I know with insurance, will vary depending on age, location, type of car and so on. But if you can please look at the VW Polo Vivo, Suzuki Swift, Kia Rio or Picanto, Hyundai i10 or i20, Starlet, Peugeot 108 or 208... yeah please look at those. For 2022

Can you please do another budget review, but with a price bracket that is a bit higher. Between 150k and 220k?

[@phakamantshewula]

Can you make the 2nd cheapest comparison, I mean other affordable cars but more expensive compared to these ones. Great video, thank you

[@howardkerr8174]

The Mahindra is interesting, but it looks more like a mini SUV than a hatchback sedan. Probably what makes any of these a tough sell for me (though living in the US I will never have a chance to own one any of these, anyway) is that they all look kind of blah. I guess if I explored the manufacturers websites I would find that several of these cars are available in more attractive colors? But as it stands I guess I would pick whichever one was quietest on the road and had the most attractive looking interior....Kia or Suzuki?

[@soumyasarkar11]

Not in the wrong way but the Picanto and Kwind it looks better for me but I will rather have a used Clio, Rio or Polo

[@russelltalker]

I quite like the security of that old style handbrake. On my car the hand brake ratchet mechanism is visible and you get to see just how many millimeters could mean the difference between you slipping down one or two teeth and losing grip on worn brakes on a steep incline. Many a time I've pulled it and it warps a little and you hear this loud clank which is the mechanism slipping and it jumps a couple teeth which is more than enough to send my car rolling. So I think it is a poor design and the old style design is much more secure
