Yaris Ativ X is miles ahead in every aspect, not just fuel economy that is more than 20 kilometer per liter which no other sedan can even think of, city hardly manages 14 to 16...
As regards comfort, Ativ X is next level, smooth CVT shifting super soft suspension and a feature packed futuristic cabin.
Corolla 1.3 is quite inferior, infact the auto variant is a nightmare, manual one can be driven but you always feel degraded.
One thing that Corolla stands out in is size, looks very beautiful but at compromise on driving comfort and amenities.
After driving Ativ X or Grande when you drive Gli you feel deprived, there is no stability control in gli at high speeds you get a surprise when it gives the Legendary Jhoul... a byproduct of soft suspension, this loss of control or jhoal hardly exists in Grande and Yaris thanks to VSC.
Further once you get the taste of Smart Entry, Climate Control and Acoustic Sound Proofing you feel incomplete in Gli which does not even offer any steering controls or MID
To conclude, buying corolla Gli is like falling in love with Rekha Ji in 2021... its now an obsolete product
