My Toyota Etios...I have fallen in love with the car...

Exterior Pretty good exterior looks. Even though it cannot be called as the most beautifiul car, it is indeed good in looks when compared to the other cars in the segment. The Toyota smiling Front Grill is a pleasure to watch..Car looks best when viewed from the side..Also the tail lamps look very good even though the box shaped back cannot be called the best(but i have loved the back shape too)

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) 4 Door central locking as well as power windows is very good. Interior space is amazing and even a very tall person can sit comfortably in the back seats without legs touching the front seat(even when front seats are retracted maximum)..There is no central bump thing on the floor which makes the leg position of the middle passenger in back seat comfortable. Car doesn't come with a seat cover.So one has to opt for a seat cover as an accessory in order to have the seating comfort. Standard seat is OK, but cannot be called as too comfortable.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good Engine Performance so far.. Engine Sound is slightly higher which i believe could have toned down a bit more to make the car more attractive.. Fuel Economy can be really stated after 10,000kms is what the Toyota Service guys said..I have done ~3000kms and my average has been 18kmpl. Expecting it to go beyond 20kmpl, once i complete 10,000kms.. Gearbox is smooth and gear shift is hassle free. One has to get used to with the top notch position of the Reverse gear as this might be slightly confusing for people who have been used to cars with reverse gear on the extreme lower right position.

Ride Quality & Handling Excellent ride quality and handling..I have never felt that i have been driving a sedan in terms of size as it has always been very handy..Only thing to be taken into account is during parking and then the reverse sensor which i installed as an accessory is very useful..I had originally thought twice on whether to install the reverse sensor by paying Rs 4000/- but then decided to go with it and i think that it was a very wise decision as it has been very useful to me.

I felt that Ground Clearance is not upto the mark. As per records, GC is 170mm, but if you have 3 passengers on the back seat then you should be careful while going through a hump or you are likely to hit the ground.

Final Words  A definitely VALUE FOR MONEY car.. Don't expect too much and never compare it with Toyota cars of higher segments especially about interior quality and all..But definitely a good choice in the 8 lakhs range

Areas of improvement Engine Sound could be filtered a little bit.. Ground Clerance could be improved.

Ease of Driving(excellent power steering), Very Good Inside as well as Boot Space, Driving ComfortSlightly higher Engine Sound, not even basic accessories offered with the car as standard part,
