Value for Money Sedan

 

Exterior Reasonably Good exteriors.Before Buying I Had Taken Test Drives of Other Vehicles as Well. Major Factor Driving me to Buy etios was Price Point, Toyota Badge & Very Satisfying Test Drive with Major Points Scored on Power Steering And Exceptional Airconditiing, which when Compared with Other Vehicles in the Leage were Coming at Rs.2 Lacs Less in etios.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors are Lack Lustre But Nevertheless They Gell Quiet well & Dont Look Gaudy. Space is Terriific inside & Sitting & exiting from Vehicle Is easy Unlike Most of Sedans. Road View for the Driver is Great Though The Positing of Rear View Mirror Somehow Hampers The Left Side View for the Driver Who is Slightly Tall.

I Am Most Dissappointed with The Poor Quality of Seats & Bumpers Are Very Light & are There in the Vehicle for Looks alone.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox engine Is Responsive & Gears Are Smooth. Though the engine Tends to be Noisy At Certain Speeds But even at Very HIGH SPEEDS The Car is Exceptionally Stable. Fuel economy is Low as Of Now & I Have Been Told That after 2nd Service It will be 14-15 KMPL.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is Good But Not Exceptional But Given The Price we are Paying One Should Be Satisfied Since One is Getting a Sedan at a Price of a Premium Hatchback.

Final Words Etios is Truly an amazing entry Level Sedan, Pleasure to Drive and enjoy effortless Gear Shift with Great Airconditioning.Buyer Is Getting Effectively Similar Features which Other Manufactures are Offering at 7.5 Lacs Upward.Yes There are Few Compromises to Be Made Than Overrall Power Steering, Tilt Steering, Great Ac, 1500 cc engine, Huge Boot Space, Toyota Badge 3 Years Warranty.

Areas of improvement Must Improve The Quality of Seats, Bumpers are Very weak, If the Car is wet & One Opens The Door The Droplets from the Roof Fall On The Seats Nearly 10 Inches Inside the Vehicle, Insulations Car Feels Noisy.
