Which is the best pick for long-term, Tata Motors or Maruti Suzuki?
Tata cars are more heavier and better built than Maruti..
I drove my swift for 1.3 lakh kms and safari for 1.1 lakh kms in 1.5 Yrs.
The thing i observed is that Tata cars especially the new models are very rugged and tough. Built to handle Indian roads and priced less than competitors. But their resale value is unpredictable.
While on the other hand, Maruti engine(ddis) is very reliable and easy to maintain. But they have terrible built quality. A 15kmph crash or a little crash in parking lot is enough to completely change the looks of your car. And their interior start to rattle just after one month of owning and never stop. Maruti has slightly better resale value compared to TATA.
If u want to keep it for long term. Go for TATA. U will be more happy with it. If you concerned about resale and all, go for Maruti.
