If space and comfort is ur priority then get corolla gli but if ur priority is fuel average then yaris is better

You should go for Yaris 1.5.
GLI is underpowered.

Yes the armrest position is not perfect but you cannot say its useless. I'm 6 feet tall, so I have to keep my driving seat a bit backward. In that way, I don't feel its back.

If you want to accommodate three people in the rear seat, the person in the middle seat may have an issue

Since May 2021, I am driving Yaris 1.5, and apart from suspension comfort it is the worst car I have owned in my 30yr car owning history. The armrest position is very awkward and you have to install after market cushion to raise it to a level you can rest your left arm during long drive. Get Gli or City Gen-6 (my son has it and its awesome and very powerful).

I had 2017 gli auto and sorry brother that is not fuel efficient and power was not as good as yaris 1.5 obviously. Seats of gli are quite hard as compare to yaris.

I am not saying yaris is miles apart but it all depends upon the user and their requirements.

I agree 100 percent. GLI is severely underpowered. A sedan should never be 1300cc.

Bhai comparing civic and gli isn't fair.Grande comapres with civic.

Agreed again. I've edited my post. I have never driven a grande.

Brother so please tell me which one should I Buy Altis 1.6 or GLI Manual or Yaris ATIV CVT or Altis 1.6 Manual
I had seen post above you by altaf.khan in which he is telling about suspension and armrest issue in yaris
Please help me to make better decision

Does car has body role and please tell about suspension issue you are talking about
If not yaris then which one for should i go GLI Manual or Altis 1.6 or Altis 1.6 Manual

Don't go for GLI. I have a 2016 manual GLI and it feels underpowered. The car also has a horrendous average 7 to 8 kmpl in city drive.

I suggest you go for Altis 1.6. The drive will be much smoother. It is also much more spacious and good looking than a Yaris.

If you don't want to spend a high sum in maintenace, I suggest you should go for a manual Altis.

Altis 1.6 latest gen. has CVT transmission. Maintaining the transmission is a headache (roadside mechanics can ruin it). I have heard it cannot be repaired if it goes bad.
The only option is to get it replaced that cost over 4 lacs. You can get it maintained at 3S dealerships. But they charge a high sum for even mudane services. So, your maintenace cost will be nonetheless high as compared to manual one that you can get serviced by any roadside mechanic.

I will rate them top to bottom

Altis 1.6 Auto - Better shape, spacious, better resale, better handling. I think this car will better perform on hilly areas as compared to ativ x mainly due to 4 speed auto transmission. Less fuel efficient
Ativ X - More features, different driving modes, it gives me 13+ in summers and 14+ in winters.
GLI Manual has good market and altis manual has very less sales. I hardly saw any manual altis

You can visit dealership and take a look at the interior of both cars, the suspension of yaris is perfectly fine, it just makes a dhaag sound on some of the potholes

BTW this gen corolla was introduced in 2014 and till now i never heard of CVT breakdowns. If they are too fragile we might heard lots of people complaining about the issues related to CVTs.

Its not wise to choose manual just because these days every other car has CVT transmission.

If someone wants to buy manual then i will suggest to go for that car which has better sale.
