    Exterior I have purchased new classic grey GD model a month back. Exterior doesnt catch your eyes much on other colours but classic grey really makes a difference when you look at at it. Just because of colour I have purchased i am rating it  out of 5. If you are not too much of crome lover on your car body you will like it, but at the same time you will miss indicators on ORVM. If you compare it with Dzire, Manza, Indigo or Amaze it's much better looking car. Sail looks definately better from outside.

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) I miss many common features inside like RPM meter, rear armrest, steering mount controls, reverse parking sensors etc but steering adjustment, driver height adjustment, nice music system(though i upgraded it from 4 to 6 speakers), ac with air filter, adjustable headrest in new etios, lots and lots of space etc compensate it.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine sound has reduced more drastically than previous version of etios, i am driving it from past one month and overall mileage i am getting of 22kmpl which is quiet surprising without even first servicing. Gearbox are smooth and you will feel turbo only when you reach 3rd gear but for a safe driver like me, it good overall. But for drivers who loves speed may dissapoint as you have to race your engine thought etios stands quiet and steady on 160kmph.

    Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality and handling is the best part of this vehicle, drive as much you want but you never feel tired and not much gear shift needs to  make all the time. One you hold the steering you will get feeling of powerful machine. Again electric power steering, height adjustment of driver seat and steering adjustment makes it much comfortable.

    Final Words This is beat family car, not for speed and turbo boost lovers. Good for highway as well as city drive with decent fuel economy and take this car for long drives you can explore more of it.

    Areas of improvement Exterior as there is not much curves that you can look at, more feature should be added like electric ORVM, ORVM indicators, Auto AC etc. Toyota should should sell only selected colours to cab operators and few colours they should reserve for white board users to give premium feel to the consumers.
