Cvt in these passenger cars is the transmission of choice. That's why i said better performance..features do matter at the end..and when its Toyota, reliability is always there even it's low quality pkdm one. Shape will be accepted in no time and this model is bound to go on some premium..i will perhaps never buy it myself but of something bis better altleast we should admit it
No mileage is a METAPHOR..it does bad than altis 1.6 ..Grande has better mileage in 1.8 category locally. Gli is underpowered yes..but its reliable and has better safety..and despite bad mileage has its own league and fan base..a pretty large one.. price is also high so not to be discussed...
Discussion can only be made between city and Yaris.. considering the class segmant
