MY HONEST ETIOS G REVIEW

I AM NOT AN EXPERT IN AUTOMOBILES BUT A GENUINE LOVER OF AUTOMOBILES. I VALUE  EFFICIENCY SAFETY AND HASSLE FREE OWNERSHIP OF A VEHICLE. WHEN I DECIDE TO BUY A CAR, I CHECKED OUT MANY ESTABLISHED MAKERS AND THEIR PRODUCTS.

MARUTI DEZIRE WAS LESS SPECIOUS IN THE SAME PRICE BRACKET. BEING A SUB 4 METER CAR, HAVING RENTED ENGINE FROM FIAT , ITS JUST LIKE ERSTWHILE HERO-HONDA WITHOUT HONDA TECHNOLOGY. BUT YES IT HAS RESALE VALUE. BUT WHO CARES FOR RESALE? WE WANT TO BUY AND USE IT FIRSTLY. THE NOTION -MARUTI IS THE BEST SELLING CAR DOES NOT MEAN IT IS THE BEST. FEATURE WISE ALSO IT IS LESS APPEALING. EXCEPT SX4 AND SWIFT NO OTHER CAR OF MARUTI IS A GOOD LOOKING DESIGN. ITS JUST THAT MARUTI CAN SELL ANYTHING IN THE NAME OF VEHICLE HAVING FOUR WHEELS.

CHEVY AND FORD BOTH ARE AMERICAN COMPANY, THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WEST AND EAST IS WEST BELIVES IN EXUBERANCE AND EAST IN EFFICIENCY. ONE BELIVES INTERNAL OPTIMISATION OTHER IN EXTERNAL LUXURY. CHEVY ALSO RENT FIAT ENGINE, LACK BOTH IN EFFICIENCY AND MAINTENANCE. FORD IS SAME WITH SOME COST FACTOR ISSUES.

HYUNDAI IS ALL ABOUT FANCY LUXURY GADGETS, HYPE IN CLAIMED MILLAGE AND MAINTENANCE ISSUES AND COST FACTOR. (IN AMERICA IT WAS PENALISED FOR MILLAGE HYPE)

TATA AND MAHINDRA HAVE THEIR SET OF CUSTOMERS (MORE COMPROMISE THAN PEACE OF MIND IN THE LONG RUN)

HONDA THOUGH BETTER, MORE COSTLY AND GRADUAL SYMBOLISM OF HYPE AND MANIA IN INDIA.

FIAT ,VW , SKODA AND NISSAN HAS SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES (MAINTENANCE, SPARE AND COST)

I FOUND TOYOTA EFFICIENT, SAFE, HASSLE FREE MAINTENANCE, SPACIOUS, FEATURES YOU CAN USE AND REQUIRE, COMPTETIVE COST, AND DRIVING PLASURE.

ONE MORE THING TO SHARE , IN TODAYS CITIES WITH EVER INCREASING TRAFFIC AND CHAOS WHERE IS THE DRIVING PLASURE (PERSONAL FEELING)?

Exterior : IT IS A CAR NOT A UGLY SHAPED CABIN. CURVES DOES NOT MAKE MUCH SENSE.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) : REALLY SPACIOUS, REQUIRED FEATURES SANS LUXURY, EXACT COMFORT NOT SPOIL AND SPILL.  

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox : ONCE IT IS TOYOTA , YOU ARE REST ASSURED.

Ride Quality & Handling: THOUGH THIS IS SUBJECTIVE AND PERSONAL PREFERENCE, IT IS VERY GOOD.

Final Words: I AM PROUD TO HAVE MY ETIOS SEDAN WITH NO NONSENCE.

Areas of improvement: TKM IS LOOKING AFTER THE CUSTOMER NEEDS AND SHOULD SHED THE EARLIER BAD IMPRESSION BY COMPARABLE ADVERTISING. BECAUSE FIRST IMPRESSION LASTS LONG.
