A beast with value for money which never let you down

if will talk about the price that one will get it higher but don't worry it is value for money car... as the quality of parts and body including engine is like you will not get in any other brand under this price range. smooth drive experience with some sporty trends. yeah but when it comes to service and maintenance, it takes little bit more than other cars but you will not regret as it offers premium quality of drive and life with proper maintainance. the only con is it takes maintainance which is little higher everything else except maintainance I would like to count as pro from my driving experience to build up quality.

Excellent performace car in this segment

Exterior Superb, Stylish, Well designed, excellent and attractive looks,   Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Comfort to sit on back as well in front. Great cabin space, well enough boot space. Without trouble 6ft can sit in front or back row.   Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Excellent!!! engine perfoemance and fuel economy (value for money) easy to shift gear Ride Quality & Handling Very much comfartable to ride in city as well as highways. Nice to drive in low as well as high speeds Excellent ride quality, even good control on 150 speed  Final Words Excellent!! Excellent!! Go for it. I did not find any major reason to reject or object this car.. Everything looks fine & has better quality than other cars in the market of similar range. Most importantly the service of Toyota is reliable. Areas of improvement   Need to improve interiors, it must be attractive rather than averageExcellent fuel economy on highway (around 20) Some time noise observed in incline roadGood interiors, and space fit for 6' toll person like me

Toyota Etios Liva First Drive Review

By Sagar Bhanushali28 Oct 2016

The updated Toyota Etios Liva has arrived at a fairly appropriate time for its Japanese carmaker. Sales of mid-size hatchbacks are booming owing to the current festive spirit as well as the long-running change in buying trends – buyers are now opting for large hatchbacks more than ever.

Volkswagen Polo petrol auto: CarWale Track Day 2021

By Ninad Ambre12 Nov 2021

Why more than a 10-year-old product here, you may ask! Now, there are two reasons for the Volkswagen Polo to be at the racetrack. First, Volkswagen brought track fun, made motorsports popular, and Indian racing accessible to the masses. Like arrive-n-drive, where you just pay, arrive at the track, and drive a prepped-up VW! This brand name is quite synonymous with racing. Second, more than 10 years and not much has really changed. That speaks so much about its build quality and durability. Speaking of which, a new engine with a new autobox, well, I know I had to forget stick-shift fun here. Yet, with its huge strength being dynamics, there's no more contemplating. So, could I expect the best possible traction and superior driving dynamics from this everyday hero? There was only one way to find out. Drive!
