GTO, any specific reason you've chosen not to include this comparison? If I was buying a hatch, I'd surely consider from Figo all the way to Punto. Seems like Micra and Vista are quite direct competitors as well. |

Totally agree. What were they thinking when they picked red as the accent color. Hopefully other colors will be available or red is only for premium models rl: |

The beauty of driving in a controlled environment is that you don't have to worry about other vehicles or pedestrians. The track setup allows for various kinds of driving conditions to be simulated. |

the first thing when i read the comparison i felt the same too. why biased on only a set of hatch backs, when we have other hatches like punto ,micra , Vista which are equally competative . They are also standing head -on to LIVA ! |
May 2011 - sales performance Chevrolet Spark : 3017 Beat : 2136 Aveo UVA : 134 Fiat Punto : 1298 Honda Jazz : 170 Nissan Micra : 1566 Skoda Fabia : 1556 Tata Indica : 5497 |

Today's ET rates only the Figo as being priced at / below the Liva. This means the Liva pricing will trigger a war in the premium hatchback segment. |

The foglamps look small when compared to the front lights, and specially in comparison with other hatches' fogs. How good is the illumination from them? |
Does the Liva come with a single reversing light too, like the Etios? |
How does the car behave during cornering, especially at moderate/high speeds? |

Personally, I really liked the way Toyota has done up the exteriors of Liva – A classic hatchback styling, and much better looking than the Etios sedan. |

A quick question - I've seen that in all the hatch comparison tables, the Grande Punto is missing. Why is that ? Is it because Punto does not sell as much as the others. |

@GTO, One observation / question, why we have left out the TATA Indica Vista & the FIAT Grande Punto from the comparison when we have taken i20 also in consideration ? |

Good to see the i10 being included in the same bracket as the Liva. For a long time, it was not considered in this comparison range despite having an excellent engine and interiors. |

As you got to test drive it on Toyota test drive tracks was there any patch or test track with water on it or slightly muddy conditions available for testing ? (Just asking this out of curiosity) |

Could this be to attain shorter turning radius? Etios has a radius of 4.9 m. Liva achieves 4.75 m, which is very close to Swift's 4.7m. As long as ride quality and handling are not sacrificed, this seems to be a desirable change. |
GTO, could you share how well does the engine hold its breath on top end? |

If Liva and Figo are premium hatches what do we call Polo, Jazz and i20.. Super premium??? Maybe the guys at ET thought, the chunky chrome strip in the hatch of Liva automatically makes it a premium product.:) |
