Driving satisfaction completly missing from Etios

 

Exterior Exterior is good amd value for money.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Looks to cheap, seat not at all comfortable, good space available.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Its not that a great car as hyped. You can hear engine sound while driving and more importantly the drive is not comfortble. The space looks all are good. But what will a person do when the drive is not comfortable. Even the seats are not comfortable. You can easily make out the engine noise difference in etios (which was not expected). even the smaller cars have less or approx no noise . I m disappointed after taking the test drive today at noida. I was one of the likely customer. but its not worth.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Thats the worst. you do not get a feel that u r driving a car from toyota. You do not feel the comfort.

 

Final Words It was much hyped but inspite of great hype and good marketing toyota etios will be a faliure as it does not give driving satisfaction. Toyota guys take a drive in any hyundai/maruti car of this segment that feel is required which is completly missing  from etios.

 

Areas of improvement Engine noise reduction is primary. You cannot expect that from a toyota. You should not hear the noise inside while u drive. seats should be more comfortable. The base model should have power steering. That would be the right value for it.

 

Looks, average, spaceengine noise, not at all comfortable,
