Exterior Its neat & simple design. Have descent look from any view. Body Quality could have been better, not typical Japanese or not like its elder siblings like innova. But to be honnest it may not be big concern. Paint finish is good. Bad thing is GD SP version also do not have Rear Wash & Wipe & Rear Defogger. But The Top Petrol V model has both.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Recent models (2013 model) Interiors are better. GD SP has 2 tone iterios & looks lot lot better. Fit & finish is good. Cabin noice & Quiteness is good. Has good inbuilt Music system with speakers. Seats are very comfy & very big. Back seat is superbly specious, can swallow 3 big guys easily. I bet no other car in this category is as specious as Liva.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is quite smooth & no harshness. Many big Humps in Banaglore road can be easily passed on in 2nd gear. Great low end tourque. Very smooth & precise Gear box. Great Fuel economy. I got my LIVA on 13th Sept 2013, Odo reading is 300Kms so for. Got 17Kms in city with AC. Isn't it great!!!.
Ride Quality & Handling Ride is very smooth & comfy. Handling is very nice & nimble. Easy to drive & do not take much time to get set & go. This is both, Driver's & Passengers delight car. Fantastic ground clearence of 172mm. Humps on roads & poth holes can be easily handled by this car.
Final Words Easy, Simple,Good looking Car with Legendary TOYOTA RELIABILITY. Cheaper Service costs & easy to Operate & maintain. Perfect Family Car.
Areas of improvement For Diesel varient, GD & GD Sp, need fetures like Rear Defogger & Wash & wipe. DO not understand why it availble only in V model Petrol version.
Mileage, Cabin Space,Quiteness inside Cabin,Ease of Drive,Descent Bootspace(251Ltrs),Boday quality can to be improved, GD SP version also do not have Rear Wash Wipe & Rear De fogger.
