Good bits: space, driveability in city, light clutch, quick acceleration, good suspension. Bad bits: cheap plastics, no illumination of switches, no power lock buttons, loose plastics on steering column.The car is good to drive in city considering its low end torque,light clutch, and strong suspension, that can pull through most of the speed breakers without letting you know. the light half travel clutch is smooth. The factory fitted media player is bare basic and is audible when windows are closed as soon as the windows are open, you have to put it near full to hear. also the bass is too poor. AC is good. There is no gaskets/rubber lining on the bodypanel inside the door frames, as a result, too much dust gets accumulated inside the car quite often.A bare basic city car, at affordable price with Toyota branding and quality.

I bought this in Aug. This car is cool and very good. When I drive this Car, believe me I forget about Swift, do not look over on the interior, this car is very comfortable also. And most important things is milage, near about 20.5 with A/c on.

Toyota Etios Liva is an under hyped car. Probably because of the so so exteriors and lesser color options. But feature wise it is exceptional. I feel it is actually under priced if you consider it as a package. An optimum powered diesel engine with a mileage of almost 22KMPH with AC. Very powerful AC and what I loved about this car the most is the comfort you get at the back seat. Even with 3 people sitting, it is very comfortable. Interiors are simple yet effective. pick up is good and the first time I rode it was on a hilly area and the acceleration impressed me. Being a diesel engine, noise exists but it is less than other diesel cars in the same category. If you are thinking of buying a diesel hatchback and you budget is around 6.5-7Lacs. I think this is the car. You can get the top model, fully loaded in this budget.

Having driven this car for more than 2000 km I feel it is a very good car. Exterior styling is good(though the Swift is better). Aerodynamic shape, nice appearance, good quality paint job. Interiors are a weak point in terms of the plastics used. The centrally placed speedometer/odometer feels funny at first but is actually more convenient than the normal speed for which you have to take your eyes off the road. The absence of a tacho is definitely annoying! The number of cup-holders is amazing; lots of space behind the gear for keeping knickknacks. The dash has a square depression in front of the co-driver. which is a great place to keep cell-phones etc which do not fall-off during turns. The interior space esp in the rear seat is amazing... probably best in class !! The presence of an air-conditioned glove box is wonderful. You can keep two 2 litre bottles of Pepsi cold in it for those long trips!! Overall a lot of thought has gone into making the interiors very convenient. The AC is great(definitely better than Swift Dzire). Suspension over bad roads feels great. Low-gear driving in city traffic is what this car is suited for. However overtaking on the highway with fast vehicles coming from the other side, is a bit problematic. Cabin noise while driving is present but that is probably true of all diesel cars; it is not a problem. Boot space is good...better than Ritz/Swift; Figo however has more boot space(20 litres more). Fuel efficiency on the highway with AC on all the time- 22 kmpl. Overall it is superb package.
