Liva- The awesome package!

Liva- The awesome package!

Look and Style : Great looks and while interior plastics may be a bone of contention for many trust me it looks not so bad and it boils down to your preferences. For example the new Swift is horribe for the people at the back bench because the rear window is really tiny. You feel like you are in a jail! Comfort : Very comfortable. There is lot of chatter of external noise coming inside the cabin etc etc all is a complete untrue pic. I drove the Liva twice and o two diff days the last being yesterday. It is as good as any other car. Infact as far as space is concerned I must put this on record that Liva is the ONLY car in India which welcomes the fifth passenger lovingly. We sat in all brands including i10,i20,punto and of course swift. Nothing I repeat nothing comes even a distant second as far as space is concerned to the Liva Pickup- Believe it or not when I took a Test Drive of the pertol model (G) there were 7 people in all and the car was still willing to play ball and did not feel sluggish once it got going. And believe me we all come from a well endowed background...physically that is :-) Mileage : While I only took a TD hence cannot comment on this much. But irrespective of the claim all petrol engines nowadays deliver an efficiency of 11-13 kmpl in city and the Liva should be no different. Best Features : I think space at the back because the floor is very very flat is the best feature. Plus the company provides two speakers and two tweeters as a factory fitting in G model hence you have to just buy the system and not the speakers. The steering is feather touch and moving around in the city is really a song! Needs to improve : Three things probably...one is the dashboard more in terms of its look second the outside door handles..can be replaced with more contemporary ones and lastly a light in the middle of the cabin will be a welcome addition. Despite this thr Liva makes for a great package and should definetly be on the shopping list for every practical car buyer Overall Experience : Absolutely wonderful. A highly underrated car!
