    DRIVING:
    Haven't driven it

     

    Exterior Seems good.

     

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)  Top model has REd and Black combination which looks good..

     

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox  Just fair. Something extra was expected from Toyota. 

    Ride Quality & Handling Electric assisted steering available only in TOP model. That mean no assistnce at Rs.6Lac. This is not acceptable.

     

    Final Words PS@RPM is 90/5500 (too low) for Dzire it is 95@6000 not impresive considering dzire as 1200cc and Etios as 1500cc engine, surely dzire will give better milage with almost same power.

    Torque is 132Nm@3000 rpm wheras Logan has 160Nm@2000 rpm.

    Wats good in this Engine....???? something wrong...surely not enough work done on engine.

    Areas of improvement Power for sure.  tachometer atleast for top models, Width  almost same as dezire. Etios's height is less, which is good for sedan look.

    Surprsing factor is weight which is just around 950kg. Will it have good stablity on high speeds??? and how about ride on rough roads? They have saved cost and metal too : )

    Top models of Dzire and Etios has diffrence of just Rs.40,000/- . Etios being higher .

    In all low end it is just a competitor of logan and indigo and high end of dzire, fiesta. Low end models will be seen soon on road as radio cab which is surely target. Who else will drive 6lac car without power assisted steering.

    I'll wait for diesel model and toyota is superb in diesel segment.

    Who should buy: young executives, for family, cab company. In all value for what u spend but offcrse sedan factor still missing. Low end model is surely not a decent car. 

    Please no comparision with Sedans...and yes Y not buy fiesta@6.1L limited edition....i think fiesta is better choice...          but for diesel I want Etios to Rock. I despirately want diesel engine above 1400cc for this car...let c wat they have in there mind.....

    but yes much hipe is already there which is obivous...we all want to shift to sedan and expecting miracle at low price ; )

    similar happended when logan, linea, manza were intoduced for diffrnt segment nano, cruze came but we all know wat happened to these car..

    we appriciate attempt but competetion is not so easy....its difficult to understand us Indians......

     

     

    Family car , developed as sedan (not like dzire) from excellent Auto companyOnly Top model worth buying, lower end will used as taxi
