Good Car i ll clear some confusions i had before buying

Etios GD is my first car, my father told me to buy desire my reply was swift is better than desire and in any case I don like either of them. Good and bads about etios.

Space: I am 5.11/90 kg so 3 people like me can sit easily in the back seat. there no bads regarding space. engine noise= with ac its noisy but its just fine. Bad is insulation could have been better to reduce engine noise AC is very good.

Interiors: Color scheme is bad, plastic its not good I realized it later but I gave her good seat covers its looking fine now. Company should work on interiors otherwise car is a sexy bomb.

Mileage: luckily I got chance to go to pune once and lonavala on newyears eve I went with ac on to lonavala did barbecue all night bcoz it was cold I fell sick and while coming back I switched the ac off. overall average was 23.4 I was so happy with figures. 23.4 what else u want. In city I get 14.5 km/l. In city without ac 17.5kmpl. worst traffic like 10 km in 1.30 hrs its 12.5kmpl with ac always on. so I am really happy with mileage people. Ya it depends on driving skills too.  

Suspension: too good you don feel a thing i reached at the speed of 140 first time in my life and it was stable no noise no vibrations my wife started shouting as i was speeding too much thanks to centrally located speedo meter.

Torque: It is so balanced, you don't feel the lag everytime it rises slowly as compared to i20 in i 20 u feel like in a rocket and ur stomach feels that gud gudi. That is fine with we young boys but parents don like that quick pick up so etios has got a well balanced torque, could be also because I drive with calm.on high way at 5th gear the engine shows wat this car is capable of so smooth pick up. I love this car.  

Paint: simphony silver is wat I have and it looks best in that I guess, its been 6 months now and I have scratches on my bonet I donno if its bcoz of people who rest there bottom on it or bcoz of the cloth my watchmen uses everyday to clean the car. Paint is fine.

Bumpers: First I thought they r so thin, they move when you touch your feet and will break easily and un luckly nayi gadi ko ritz ne pappi de hi di, ritz hit me from behind towards left side I stopped and checked I told the guy let us park the car at side so tat traffic can move ahead and we could settle this, when I tried to move my car it didnt move as it was so badly hit and stuck then I turned my stearing to full left and freed my car. Guess wat only scratches the clip came out but with one punch it went back to normal position. I am not telling rest of the story.

Summary: In my opinion its worth paying an extra 1 lakh 20 thousand for etios if one is considering desire which is also a nice car. Etios is a true sedan. I guess desire has good mileage too but etios is extremely good only 2 flaws in Etios bad color scheme in interiors mind it rascala not inerior design. One can check white and red scheme on google its fabulous I wish I could afford it. Cabin noise is on higher side when compared to desire.
