i have bought a 2018 brv vtec s from showroom. is it better than the corolla i would say yes because of space. in regards to luxury id say it the same as the any corolla other than the grande.
the price is fair compared to the other suv out there. to get something like this your looking at 35 lac plus so for 10 lac discount i think its great as its value will increase as people go towards brv.
id advise going for manual if you dont mind it as you can add alloys, navigation etc later. other than great nearly a year now done 9000 miles no issues
