टोयोटा ​इटियोस लीवा [2013-2014] यूज़र रिव्यूज़

Exterior

Driven only 400 kms till now. First servicing is still due.Looks is good specially with the ultramarine blue. Body quality is not that good which always a trademark of Japaneese cars. This is my 3rd toyota and believe my level expectation is very high with this.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 I heard lots of stories about the old Liva , but this one is good. I own the GSP model and this one has bayge and grey interiors with airbag,abs,ebd,height adjust etc. I like the interiors. Colour combination is quite prominent. Most important is space. I can assure you that this has the best space in its class of cars. I am a big man 6-2. Even if Im in my normal driving position 3 men like me can sit comfortably on the back seat.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Till now engine sounds super smooth and runs smooth too. Gearbox is an ease. Till now i'm getting 10 with ac in city. Hopefully it will get better. 

Ride Quality & Handling

 Ride quality is just awesome. Steering is just like butter. 

Final Words

 Till now I'm satisfied with my discision of buying etios liva. 

Areas of improvement  

 I think they can try to improve the exterior body quality and put the speakers on the back doors also.

 

Space,stylebody quality

Exterior GOOD EXTERIOR AND GOOD LIGHTING.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) SPACIOUS AND ENOUGH LEGROOM. BACK SEAT THREE PEOPLE CAN SIT COMFORTABLY. BOOT SPACE IS SUFFICIENT FOR A SMALL FAMILY WITH 3-4 BAGS.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I GOT 19-20KMPL ON HIGHWAY EVEN A/C WAS ON FULL TIME.

INITIALLY FIRST 1000KM LITTLE BIT ENGINE SOULD WAS THERE, BUT AFTER FIRST SERVICE VEHICLE BECOME SMOOTH AND FULE ECONOMY ALSO INCREASED. WITH IN TWO WEEKS I DROVE 2000KMS AND ENJOYED THE DRIVE.

Ride Quality & Handling SMOOTH AND STEADY VEHICLE. WE DROVE AT A SPEED OF 100-120 KMPH AND FOUND THE VEHICLE WAS STEADY, NO NOICE, NO VIBRATION. AT 120KMPH WE APPLIED SUDDEN BRAKES AND VEHICLE WAS STEADY.

Final Words I HOPE TOYOTA LIVA WILL BE THE TOP VEHICLE COMPARED TO OTHER BRANDS IN THE SIMILAR RANGE. ONLY DRAWBACK IS NO MUSIC SYSTEM WAS GIVEN ALONG WITH TEH CAR.

Areas of improvement FOR THE MONEY WHAT WE PAID WE ARE HAPPY. ONLY THING IS TOYOTA MANAGEMENT SHOULD THINK OF GIVING "MUSIC SYSTEM" FOR GD-SP MODEL.

GOOD FUEL ECONOMY, SPACIOUS, SMOOTH AND STEADY, VALUE FOR MONEY. SAFETY FEATURES LIKE ABS/AIRBAGSNO MUSIC SYSTEM

nice car to run in city and highways.amazing mileage in highways nearly 30 kmpl(since it is new one i am running under 70 kmph.i plan go further after 5000 km in my odo.most disappointment is lack of tachometer in dash.but i come to know that in 2000 rpm the speedometer will b 100kmph. liva can accomdate easily 5 people even if the front seats slided back to its extent another important one you can go up to 3rd gear without giving acceleration(just like fiat padmini) final words,those who looking for fuel efficient,spacious,easy handling go for liva.maintanence cost is very cheap as maruthi.i opted SMILEYS PREPAID PACKAGE BY toyato.it means 3000 rupees for one year or 20000 km.it includes spares and labour.my normal usage is around 20 per year so i opted this packagevery good fuel economy,spacious,soft gear shifting,very light and sharp steering,no acc req up to 3rlow wieght door,dull interiors,low plastic quality,many features absent copared to figo tdci

Exterior The gaps between the doors and the body is very wide and there is a tendency that outside dust gets collected there. After a ride as anyone gets out or comes in, often get their clothes soiled with the dust accumulation.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) By making the twin colour interior it is pretty difficult to maintain the light colour.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The engine emitts an inking noise even at low gear.

Ride Quality & Handling The shock absorber is such that everytime you cross a sharp pothhole or cross a bump, the wheel juts out fast and the noise is terrifying.

Final Words The car is good but few things as described above need to be looked into.

As for me, I am the biggest loser since the car is having a hatch door misalignment which cannot be rectified with adjustments. Hence either have to go with the defect or undergo body shop job work. That way the whole idea of buying a new car is a waste.

Areas of improvement  The aboves need to be addressed.

Good styleThe gaps between the doors and body. In fact the rear hatch door is so misaligned that the LH side g
