Well about my buying experience that was quite awesome when I go to the showroom. I was like a normal car showroom but there's a twist a warm welcome with drinks like mojito and all think as I come to Rolls Royce. But forgot that we want Etios Liva my model was 2018 model which was newly introduced by Toyota the looks have changed and tires also colors also far better than the 2016 model. I shortlisted the car because of the looks are so good. Then I purchased a car done my full formalities loans and all that was quickly done like superfast around half-hour I was happy and feeling awesome. The cons of the cars are only the speedometer is at the center at a dashboard that looked like a taxi car But I think when you drive the car you loved. The exhaust sounds like a sports car not too much loud but you feel that sound, when you sit in car Pros, is music speakers and front that was so good and loud and mileage is too good in a high way is 18-21Kmpl. I loved the mileage. Pickup is quick fast and awesome comfort level is also good. All the features are good. Cons, poor quality of plastic at the dashboard. Pros, brakes and safety airbags and all. My after-sales services cost and experience are good you can get services all from them in a good way you loved the cost is around 5k under you can get by the way experience till now is quite good. 

Liva is an excellent car. It is very smooth to drive. The service of Toyota is awesome. I probably prefer this car. The colors are too good. It is very comfortable to drive a long distance. The music system in it has very good bass and volume making the trip fun.

Very good engine and power in diesel segment and very good build quality...limited edition red color is very shining and the alloy wheels are very good.

I have purchased this car in the month of December 2018, after a lot of searches, I'm a big-time fan of SUV's from the time I started driving but our budget is 10 lakh, so then we shortlisted Bolero, Thar, TUV300, Nexon. But in Bangalore you get the most basic models of these SUV's and moreover you will need to compromise on a lot of basic creatures comforts on these vehicles except for TUV300 & Tata Nexon, I read a lot of reviews of these compact SUV's and got to meet the real-time owners of these vehicles, fuel efficiency is pretty low for TUV300 and Tata Nexon has truly increased the sales for Tata, but we were doubtful about the aftersales service for Tata. So my focus shifted to compact hatchbacks then again shortlisted Swift, Elite I20, Baleno, Etios Cross, and Etios Liva. We ruled out Swift because of the back seat comfort & safety although it is a most stylish modern looking car. Elite I20 - We see only basic models for the price we pay and a lot of compromise on the features. Baleno - Safety rating seems pretty low compared to other cars and it's a lite weight car, moreover the same old 1.3-liter engine. Finally Etios Cross & Etios Liva - I test driven both the cars, Etios Cross & Etios Liva Dual tone has the similar ground clearance, same alloy wheels the only cosmetic exterior plastic cladding and roof rails are a major difference, Etios cross is a bit more expensive than regular Liva. So we shortlisted Liva the dual tone black & white VD version. The experience of driving this car is phenomenal moreover I think from previous generations of Liva the car interiors have been improved a lot with plush interiors. Sometimes I feel like I'm driving an SUV due to its wide interiors, it can easily seat 5 people. Dual tone color combinations are very attractive I chose black & white. So far the mileage is pretty decent I'm getting 21 without AC and the ride comfort is lovely. We chose Etios Liva because of the low-cost maintenance, Toyota Brand Trust and a lot of my family members have the same car. Driving in the city is a pure joy the short gear shifts and short clutch and acceleration are truly amazing! The only cons I would say is there are no speed sensing locks, distance to empty and automatic climate control. But anyway I can still live without all that. So if you are looking for the no-nonsense frugal everyday car I would suggest going ahead with this car. You will not be disappointed at all. This review is only for the diesel version not sure about petrol.

It is a very smooth car sturdy and clips on the highway easily you don't even get to know how fast you are driving it has awesome colors, the boot space is sufficient and leg room at the back is very comfortable. If we talk about the car speakers they have very nice sound but it does not have a touch display. I haven't had any problems with the car till now amazing car must buy it.
