    Exterior

    Good lines and appeal, that attracts in first place from a distance, however, without chrome's I wonder what it would retain on this plus.

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

    totally disappointed on the interiors, I think the all cost cutting measures took place hear for a toyota quality

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

    Was groaning on test drive and dragging pick-up at higher gears. I guess the body was made first for higher capacity engine (1.5 L) and then changed to Indianized 1.2 L version to get duty cuts and make it cheaper or raise the mileage to cpmpete with Maruti Swift. There was no need to really offer the J- variant as it offers nothing comparable, not even a power steering.

    Ride Quality & Handling

    OK, I wonder what it would feel like without power steering in J- Variant as I tested the V-variant. There should be 15 inch alloy wheels option available on all models.

    Final Words

    Disappointing, for all the hype created of an India's first, world's first, Q class TOYOTA hatchback, Q is what missing inside. 

    Areas of improvement  

    Complete overhaul of interiors and tweaking the power to balance with decent mileage, even 16L may do, for common family man.
