I bought J CVT which i feel a value for money buy after I detailed research.
Why I bought Yaris J CVT
Ans: I am pune and traffic condition is getting worse day by day. Normally at office timing like 9 am to 9pm you have to drive your car in bumper to bumper traffic. I have city manual which is good to drive but driving in bumper to bumper traffic and that to 30 km from nigdi to kharadi it's a pain.
So, I decided to go for an automatic car this time and I have to first settled on the right automatic transmission for my city driving.
Below are the options available in Indian market.
1. AMT
2. TORQUE CONVERTOR
3. CVT
4 DUAL CLUTCH
I didn't try DUAL Clutch auto because my favorite brands Maruti, Honda and Totota didn't offer them.
AMT and Torque convertor transmission drive in 1 and 2 gear in bumper to bumper traffic and you feel some vibrations and cabin noise plus the average drops.
Now I have only option between honda city and Yaris. Both CVT are good but the build quality of Yaris is unmatched. Hinda build quality is the worst as compare to their international build quality for the same model. Toyota on the other hand maintain its build quality same across the world. Totoya is a genuine japnese brand in India and honda is Indian build with japnese engine.
Also the honda CVT is much more expensive than yaris. I got an December offer on Yaris J CVT ans it cost me 10.7 lacs on road in pune.
CVT Yaris is the best car on Indian market I don't see any car which can match its quality and drive experience in bumper to bumper traffic.
Why J variant.
ANS: J vatiant with CVT is the value buy as other featires like touch screen and etc I don't find them useful for me. I have not fitted anything from outside either.
Maitenace cost: toyota QRD is awesome I was having a altis 2008 model which I bought in resale from my one of my friend ans now sold. I found the maintenance is very economical as compare to other brands like corolla altis maitenace cost was 6.5 k per year after GST.
Average: I am getting 16-18km In traffic, long highway driving testing is pending.
Final take: I would recommend you guys to buy toyota Yaris ans tath too J variant as its a value buy.
