Rich man's Etios or Poor man's Corolla

Yaris is great all round car but over pricing just killed it. Decent design inspired from Lexus at the front and Corolla at the back . Tyre size could have been 16 inch for v or vx variants ( they had given 185/60R15 for all variants , which is the default size of B segment ). It looks like, they took out Etios engine, add more power , add more air bags and renamed with Yaris with astronomical pricing. Interior space is decent not too spacey but decent. Headroom is big problem for taller people. Ride and handling is also nice neither enthusiast car nor too much comfort oriented car. Overall, decent in this department. Overall, except for J variants, other variants are simply over priced. servicing and maintenance : Good as toyota is reliable and not too high service cost. Pros: decent overall design, safety, decent ride & handling, Toyota reliability.

Cons: 1. Astronomical pricing except J variant 2. Bigger blind spot at A pillar, worst than Ecosport in city conditions. 3. Vx variants should be given performance orientation. Whoever gave this car 5 star rating either they are rich enough not to care about the price or too much obsessed with 7 airbags. Toyota is giving 7 airbags but at what cost?
