டொயோட்டா எட்டியோஸ் [2013-2014] யூசர் ரிவ்யுஸ்

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.

Fuel Economy, Interior, Space and driving comfortLack of features like reverse parking sensors, ABS EBD and RPM meter in GD model

 

I booked Yesterday, Waiting time 8 months. Lets see how the car will be InshaALlah

Exterior Well, It is not a beautiful DESIGN(girl) to admire. Very simple in Desing to reduce cost. But outlook is class A, when compared to SWIFT DEZIRE. Dezire SUcks.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Awesome interior, Very SPACIOUS, COMFORT, Good LEGROOM, HEADROOM. But, bad speedo in centre, Looks like papery work. Chrome decorated interiors in VX. Rocking, WHen compared to MANZA,DZIRE,Indigo and everything in this range.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Gear Shift is smooth and precise and short throw.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is good, IT is lightest sedan in indian market of 930 kg, so handling will be easy.

 

Final Words WOrth buying instead of DZIRE and MANZA. Toyota quality assured.

 

Areas of improvement Speedo meter, single wiper, arm rest in back seat!!!!

It is good car, Worth buying it!!! I booked maruthi Swift, but when ETIOS is launched, I went and sat on the Etios. Really the Quality and feeling pleasure insed the car. I thought to Cancel the Swift booking. Then I went to Lanson Toyota and booked the car!!!  ETIOS VX VERMILION RED.

 

Space, Comfort,Safety, very huge boot spaceNot very Fancy look, Papery Speedo meter,

 

Exterior - awesome,it looks to be avery high class luxary sedan.which actually it is not

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good only. space and comfort are  very good-praiseworthy

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox   engine is powerfull but fuel economy is average.i booked the car not yet driven. I am making these observations only by inspecting the car thoroughly as I have sufficient knowledge about the cars.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Very good and enjoyable.i can recommend to other persons for this car as it is good value for money.moreover it is a toyota product so reliability ,performance and quality can be expected

 

Final Words It is very much superior than other cars of its class. no other car of this class has such a powerfull engine with 1500cc engine,its bhp should have been more than 100.

 

Areas of improvement Interior requires improvement. black colour does not impress.front seats head rest is continuos part of the sets which do not give good look

 

good style ,comfort space, great out look outshinning many other cars priced higherfront seats design and dash board

Exterior: A really good looking sedan .Serene bluish silver colour is the best.Bumper protection units enhance the look.Alloy wheel looks better than the toyota corolla.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort): Great space .Infact more spacious than Toyota corolla.Boot space is much more than that of Corolla.Very comfortable seat and lot of leg space.Spedo meter location at the centre looks great.AC is simle but really efficient

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox: Engine design ia also great.Lean construction,light weight and most fuel efficient in that class.It develops peak power and torque at relatively lower rpm.Gear transmission is very smooth.

Ride Quality & Handling: Low turning circle, good power steering and high driving position makes Etios very efficient in Ride and handling.

Final Words: At Rs.7.38 lakh the V model of Toyota Etios has the best possible features.

Areas of improvement: It is already a well thought off and meticulously designed car.No more improvement is needed.Only the price line be held.

It is a dream car for the middle class.It has best possible features for the priceNothing negative worth mentioning

 

I had booked the car on the second day of launch, without even having a look of it. For me it was the brand TOYOTA which gave that confidence. Today I went to the showroom to have a first look at the car.

I am not an expert in writing reviews. I have just given my first impressions about the car and it is my personal opinion. Just have a look  at the car to approve or disapprove my views.

 

Exterior Very good. Spend another 40-50 K and can make it completely stunning.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) On expected lines.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Did not test drive.

 

Ride Quality & Handling No Idea!

 

Final Words Etios is surely the car is real paisa vasool, family car. One can blindly go for it considering TOYOTA brand and the price tag. Fuel economy what Toyota claims if is true would be a boon for money minded people like me. Service, availability of spares etc should not be a problem .For me though it was love at first sight.

 

Areas of improvement Interiors, rear seat space comfort, seat Height adjustability, colours.

 

Decent style, Features which are adequate and used in normal day to day conditions, Value for moneyLess spacious (especially for rear passengers) interiors could have been even more flashy

 

Exterior Extriors of this car are very good except from the back. The front and side look are be very delightful. My first view over the catlog met my heart. When I saw thw the front grill I thought its Inova. The only thing which I didnt like was the rear lights.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) When I sat inside the car I got the feeling that I was sitting in a car worth 8 lk. At this rate better features than this cant be availed. All the people who say that it ha nano type looks are definately blind. It is equally spacious as Linea or Honda City.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The performance of the car is so smooth that can be felt even while sitting on the passener seat. With great fuel capicity no & and such a smooth engine it is lovely to drive.

 

 

Final Words Such a spacious sedan is not available at 6 lk. All those who dont like it dont have a good taste or are idiots.

 

Areas of improvement The rear head lights can be furthur improved.

 

Spacious, Stylish ,Inova type look from front & best featuresLogan type rear look , papery speedometer

 

 

Exterior FRONTAL VIEW RESEMBLES INNOVA,WHICH DOESN'T MAKE HEADS TURN(INNOVA IMAGE AS PRIVATE CAB). BUT BODY LINE IS VERY SMOOTH(UNLIKE SWIFT D'ZIRE) AND ONE CANNOT IGNORE THE PRESENCE. TAIL LAMPS CLUSTER IS PLEASING.EXTRA BREAK LIGHT BEHIND REAR SEATS AS STD. FEATURE IS GOOD IDEA. NO. PLATE LOCATION AT THE BOTTOM OF BOOT LOOKS A BIT ODD.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) BOOT SPACE IS THE BEST AMONG ST COMPETING SEDANS(US BOUND TRAVELER CAN COMFORTABLY PUT ALL HIS/HER BAGGAGE & STILL HAVE SOME SPACE LEFT).ONE OF THE REVIEWER HAD COMPLAINED ABOUT LEG ROOM FOR REAR SEATS, PARTICULARLY WHEN FRONT SEAT IS PUSHED BACK TO EXTREME.WHILE THIS MAY LOOK LIKE A REASONABLE REVIEW BUT FACT OF THE MATTER IS THAT EVEN 6'ER DOESN'T NEED TO PUSH HIS SEAT BACK THAT MUCH SINCE HE ALREADY HAS MORE THAN ADEQUATE LEG ROOM IN FRONT IT-SELF.REAR SEATS CAN COMFORTABLY SEAT 3 LARGE ADULTS.MIDDLE IS COZY DUE TO  NEAR FLAT BOTTOM.

EXTRA COOLED GLOVE COMPARTMENT IS VERY THOUGHTFUL IDEA AND SO IS THE CONVENIENT LOCATION OF 7 BIG BOTTLE/CUP HOLDERS.

LOCATION OF ALL 4 SPEAKERS IN FRONT IS NOT ALL THAT GREAT. SIMILARLY LOCATION OF INSTRUMENT PANEL @ CENTRE IS NOT CONVENTIONAL. PERHAPS THIS AFFORDS A GOOD ROAD VISION. TILTING STEERING WHEEL IS USEFUL SINCE AT ITS LOWER POSITION IT BECOMES VERY INCONVENIENT FOR THE DRIVER TO GET IN.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox VERY POWERFUL ENGINE.THOUGH I DIDN'T TAKE 0-100 TEST, I COULD EASILY SHIFT TO HIGHER SPEEDS IN BUSY CITY TRAFFIC.GEAR SHIFT IS SMOOTH AND SHIFT TO LOWER GEARS IS ALSO EASY. ENGINE APPEARS NOISY AT HIGHER RPM AND ONE COULD FEEL & HEAR THE NOISE INSIDE THE CABIN.SALES PERSON INFORMED THAT AFTER RUNNING IN THE ENGINE WILL BECOME SMOOTH. IF NOT TOYOTA WILL HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT INSULATING THE CABIN BETTER. TOO EARLY TO JUDGE FUEL ECONOMY BUT PROMISE OF 17 KM/L FOR A SEDAN IS ASSURING. SINGLE VIPER APPEARS ODD FOR LARGE SEDAN BUT IT WOKS EFFICIENTLY.   

 

Ride Quality & Handling RIDING WAS VERY SMOOTH. COULD NEGOTIATE SPEED BREAKERS WITHOUT DISCOMFORT IN THE CABIN.STEERING IS RESPONSIVE AND COULD EXECUTE SHARP TURNS WITH EASE. WOULD LOOK FORWARD TO DRIVING ON EXPRESS-WAY.

 

Final Words AFTER COMPARING WITH TATA MANZA & SWIFT D'ZIRE, AND TEST DRIVING ETIOS, I HAVE ALREADY BOOKED ETIOS-G. LONG WAIT LIST IS BIT OF DAMPENER THOUGH, BUT I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO DRIVING MY OWN ETIOS. VERY GOOD FAMILY SEDAN AND WITH TOYOTA'S INTERNATIONALLY ACCLAIMED QUALITY STANDARD IT IS BEST VALUE FOR YOUR MONEY.

 

Areas of improvement SOMETHING MUST BE DONE TO ENGINE NOISE AT HIGHER RPM IN CABIN. INSIDE PLASTIC FINISH & TONE CAN BRIGHTEN UP THE INTERIOR.SHIFTING 2 SPEAKERS TO BACK SPACE WILL IMPROVE AUDIO EXPERIENC.

 

 

value for moneyinteriors should be more sporty

 

Exterior Good looking exterior, though with not a next generation car looks. But defintely I feel 100% better than the DZire and Manza. A change from existing looks of feista and SX4 (boring for 5 years).

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Quite spacious width, leg rooms & boot. Interior quality can be improved a bit, ergonimcally desgined interiors and quite comfortable. Very powerful AC.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Excellent pickup, plesant city driving with smooth steering, FE yet to measure. Power is good. Gearshift is very smooth.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Smooth handling and excellent quality of ride. Not taken for a longdrive yet, but city driving and handling is very comfortable.

 

Final Words Excellent value for money car. Toyota did the right way to compromise little on interiors rather than engine and safety. Best in the segement. If you are looking for great interiors and more power, then go for something else and spend 2 Lakhs more.

 

Areas of improvement Interior material (especially dashboard) quality.

 

Smooth steering, spacious, pickupInterior material quality

 

Exterior I have taken the delivery of the car car on gudi padwa day the exteriors as such is pretty good the only change i made to my exteriors is the front bumper grill as i have taken black colour car the front grill with full steel metal is really giving the car look like a corolla altis.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The interiors were pretty ordinary so what i did is changed the interiors completely giving it a very much luxorious look from within i.e a dual tone body interiors ,leather seats,dual tone steering having leather cover & a few more things which made the car look very luxurios from inside.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Very good.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Excellent.

 

Final Words I THINK PEOPLE SHOULD GO AHEAD AND BUY THIS CAR WITH A FEW CHANGES TO BE DONE IN THE INTERIORS FOR SURE AS I MYSELF HAVE DONE & YOU WILL BE DEFINITELY GETTING A CAR AS LUXORIOUS AS HONDA CITY, VENTO, LINEA & THAT TO CHEAPER THAN THESE MENTIONED CARS. GO AHEAD BUT CHANGE THE INTERIORS EVEN AFTER SPENDING ON INTERIORS YOUR CAR PRICE WILL BE MUCH LESS THAN THE CARS MENTIONED.

 

Areas of improvement NA.

 

good exteriors,good style ,very excellent boot space,good fuel economyinteriors pretty ordinary
