The Tiago has carved out a reputation as the "sensible yet stylish" choice. It’s not just about getting from A to B; it’s about doing it safely and with a bit of flair. DIMO's strong after-sales support is a major reassurance for buyers who might be wary of non-Japanese brands. User discussions from local groups suggest that while the resale value is still catching up to Suzuki, the ownership experience is often rated higher due to the car's solid feel. It’s a favorite among university students and young executives who want to stand out from the sea of WagonRs.

Exterior Design
The Tiago’s exterior design is compact and slightly sporty. It features sharp headlamps that flow into a small upper grille and a larger mesh-effect lower intake. The front bumper often includes integrated fog lamps on higher trims, which gives it a more premium look than expected for a budget hatchback.
From the side, a rising window line and subtle character crease reduce the visual height. Short overhangs make parking easier. Tiago communities on social media point out that the rear has angular tail lamps and a clean tailgate design. Some variants even come with a small spoiler for a sportier vibe. The ground clearance is quite good for a small hatchback, allowing it to clear uneven roads and speed humps commonly found in Sri Lanka.
