Toyota Liva diesel - a first experience

Toyota Liva diesel - a first experience

Look and Style:  Neat and tidy Comfort : Generously spacious - good rear leg space  - good luggage space - good thigh support Pickup : Quite OK Mileage : Around 22km/l of diesel on highways Best Features:  Central locking of all doors, all power windows, and ABS braking Needs to improve:  Suspension is poor.  The car just hits on the speed breakers with ease even when manouvered with the first gear and at the speed of walking.  This happened with 4 passengers and a driver.  I fear that it will worsen with added luggage.   I was surprised to hear from the service wala at coimbatore that this problem is common to many a LIVA.  How could Toyota not notice this at their design and testing stage itself when the problem is glaring?  They could improve the  meter console with more features.  So also the reversing bulb is just one only.  The seats are just a little bony and needs more cushioning.  The speakers are just rudimentary. Overall Experience:  Generally a good car with space, pick up and economy.
