A cheap car which is sold in a toyota brand name

 

Exterior Exterior is ok, I planned to buy a sedan and in this price range I had nothing much to do with looks, so this is not my area of concern. BUT The build quality is cheapest in the world, its cheaper than NANO. If you want you can just experiment with this. Just try to hit with your soft hand on car body, the body will be damaged. What the pathetic product , dont take my words you go and check it , you will come to know the cheap body.

CHEAP BODY

I am writing this review for all the new customers so that, they wont get cheated from Toyota with this crap. I took the test drive for this car and didnt feel all these things. That was my biggest mistake. But you should not repeat the same mistake which I have done. You can come to my place for test drive , i will show you the crap ETIOS, in which every time when i ride i feel embarrassed , i feel cheated , i feel exhausted, stressed. So now I dont ride it after spending my 7.5 lakh hard earned money.

You will say why i haven't done my research before buying it, yes i did, half of reviews says its great product, some of them says this is cheap, and because this is my first car so i didnt get things properly. Now after driving it for 1500Km, i am writing this review for you all.

If you are going for test drive, will you punch the car for testing, NO, so i also didnt. The demo car which i have driven was smooth, because it was meant for TEST DRIVE , but the product delivered to me is original piece of crap.

NO WEATHER GASKET (so dirty, all four doors), No weather gasket for all doors, so even if you clean the body the dirt will be there inside all doors. SINGLE WIPER(leaves windshield uncleaned)

Single wiper is ok but it will leave 4-5 inch portion uncleaned so it will leave the uncleaned spot , which looks so embarrassing.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The car is spacious, no doubt. seat quality is bad. Space is ok, or I can say good, its the only good thing about this sedan. Comfort, yes it is comfortable. Rear seats doesnt have much thigh support, so rear passengers will feel uncomfortable after long driving.

BAD REAR WINDOW: The rear window will not fully go down, it stucks in half way, god knows why the hell they have given this superb feature, if rear passenger wants to open the window he can open it half way only, inconvenient and uncomfortable.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Its hard to change the gear. You have to put extra effort to change the gears. Fuel economy is Ok, 12 KMPL in city condition without AC(Sometimes AC is on), Now comes Engine performance.

WORST EVER SEEN PETROL ENGINE, NOISY ENGINE(like tractor): It makes noise, loud noise , like tractor. Engineers fixed it two times but again it started.

Dont take my word, go for reviews or come to my residence, i will show you. Dont go for demo car which they will give you for test drive. The effect of this, yu will feel exhausted and stressed after only 5 Km of drive.

ROAD NOISE: They have not properly insulated car body , so lot of road noise will come inside cabin. That will make you deaf.

VIBRATION (can cause severe disease), You just keep single lass of water on the roof of car and start the engine, it will fell down. Again don't take my words, just experiment by yourself.

AUTOMATIC ACCELARATION: When you are not moving you car or if you are in neutral gear, the engine suddenly makes big noise and accelerates automatically. It goes down suddenly in 20-30 seconds. Its very dangerous. The RPM suddenly increases , in idling speed also.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality if you think includes all above mentioned point, then it s worst.

Final Words Whoever is saying this car is value for money, I will tell them SORRY. its not VFM its the cheap crap for which i spent 7.5 lakh Rs. So for 7.5 you should at least get some good body, leave all thing behind. The engine should be good, with no or little vibration. Leave how it looks and power window and other advance things, the basic thing it should provide me is a good silent engine, good driving and good gear box . But these basic things lacks in this CRAP, so what is the meaning of buying a car.

I feel so sorry because i bought this, this is my first car so i made a mistake, I want to say all the readers, just dont go for anybody's word or review , neither mine nor anybody else. You test it  by yourself , for  all above mentioned points. If you want I will give you my car for driving , its a brand new ETIOS just driven 1500 KM. I also had my vehicles first servicing done.

Toyota company should understand , they cant cheat customers , they can make 10-20 people fool but at the end everybody will come to know about their gimmick and avoid any crap/cheap product which they will sell under good brand name.

I am optimistic,  I made a mistake, now waiting for the day when i will sell this and go for some good car. But till then i have to suffer everyday with this crap. I should be a happy customer after spending 7.5 lakh Rs, but today it hurts me a lot , why I have wasted my hard earned money on this crap.
