A GOOD BUY FOR THAT 2ND OPTION

 

Exterior The exterior looks stunning, atleast the front portion but move on to the rear, it gives a very LOGANish look, but nevertheless, its a TOYOTA.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) A lot can be said about the interior, however I say that with the price bracket its 90% of what i expected, I own a Skoda Superb and I can vouch for the interiors but again the same is 4-5 times more expenive than the ETIOS. The interiors can be worked on and by spending another 50-60 k once can turn the interiors, with the music system, the seat covers et all, into a decent product interior wise.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Quite good, but I guess thats what is expected of a Toyota product. Pickup, fuel effecincy(claimed) and the smooth transition of gears makes it a good buy in this segment.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Again, with the light material used the handling is excellent but i guess it compromises on the pot holes of Indian Roads.

 

Final Words See, there are going to be pros and cons for every car, I bought the same because I drive my Skoda for looks but i needed something dependable and for everyday city traffic. I read that 50 k more there is vento , that is a debatable statement as after every 50k - 100k there is another offering, so how far are u going to go, my only point is that instead of buying a second hand sedan like the Altis or the Corolla or whatever or a small car like the i10 or i20 etc. etc. I buy this car knowing its the best in the SEGMENT.

 

Areas of improvement Obviously interiors.
