General Observation and Verdict
Amaze is definitely the best sedan in market today but comes at a price. At end it trickles down to your own need i.e. if you are looking for a cheaper option , Tata Zest is a good deal. If you are looking for good comfort, Honda Amaze tops the chart. For better and affordable service you can choose Suzuki Desire and Hyundai Xcent as well.
