I have bought BRV manual and I am satisfied with my decision. In manual you can control mileage. Went to pc bhurban and it gave me 14 average. all family comes in the car and I also have corolla 2007 gli but for 5 people it is tight.
Good ground clearance , but next year when i will allah willing travel to Hunza then I will come to know if ground clearance is okay or not.
you have to use 6th gear to get proper mileage as its gearing is short and putting sixth gear reduces engine noise. Around 2,650 rpm at 100 km speed . in my corolla it shows 3000 rpm at 100 km. Drive with the eco light on and you get good mileage.
CVT model i don't like because if anything happens to its gears the cost of new one is horrible. More than 10 lac rupees. This gear cannot be repaired as compared to normal automatic gears.
