Judgement based on 10 hatchbacks : Liva Not Good. Review on Toyota Etios Liva

Pros: Toyota Brand Name, Cheaper Car Cons: Not having a great Looks, Cheaper plastics, AC vent not designed correctly. Description: After Test drive of 10 Hatch Backs judgement. After a Liva drive.My feelings

Look and Style

Exterior

Even though it looks similar to Etios from Front, I like the rear part, its deisgned more better than Etois.Etios has a Ambasador or Ceilo back, something uncommon.In case of Liva toyota has given more care as it has beutifully designed rear.

In the lot for exterior style: I feel Fiat Punto wins, followed by Suzuki Swift, Liva, hyndai i10, Ford Figo, Ritz, Micra, Vista,

Interiors:

Main issue in Liva is its position of Speedometer which is in the centre.Why Liva & Vista has placed it in centre. Eventhough it is becoming common, personally I feel is looks odd.Quality of Seat, postion of AC vents, Stereo and seats Liva look very much odd in the lot.

My rating for Interors will beSwift, Ritz, hyundai i10, Fiat Punto, Ford Figo, Micra followed by Liva & Vista.

Comfort

For Long drive:

Order will be Hyndai i10, Ritz, Swift, Fiat Punto, Micra, Vista, Liva, Figo.

For City drive:

1. Fabia(Price as well as Spares Cost very high)

Not included Hyndai i20 and Honda Jazz because it doesnot match the Price Range.

Reason for FIAT Punto to get the first place is 1. Mileage 2. Safety(ABS and 5 Star rating by EuronCap) https://euroncap.com/tests/fiat_punto_2005/238.aspx 3. feature rich(Bluetooth from Microsoft, Km to Empty, Instant Consumption, Strong Body, Sporty Steering) 4. Superb Service Backup from Tata. Under the Tata badge FIAT has improved the Technical facility). Availability of Service Centre everywhere. 5.Cheaper Spares. Polo Has decent mileage, Classic interiors - World class. Disadvantages are Costly parts, Service Cost and non availability of service centre.
