Etios- Good Engine, Decent interiors, but bad shock absorbers

Exterior Ok

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Ok

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good. the car is not very smooth in city traffic.

Ride Quality & Handling I have bought Etiuos VD in march'12. The car milage is good in Highway almost 20 KMPL, but reduces to 13/14 KMPL in Mumbai traffic. I am facing problem of paint erosion in just 6 months, which is against Toyota quality. Secondly the rear Suspension also makes lots of noise & vibration. I cannot drive the car properly, as car jumps at Speed breakers.  rear bumber is not tightly fitted. Overall the car is not very smooth in city traffic. I have shown to technician, but they have not resolved the issue & as per them, this is problem with Car manufacturing & cannot be fixed.

Final Words Toyota is known for the quality, but in Etios it seemd that quality is compromised & I wasted my money.

Areas of improvement Shock Absorbers, Paint finish.

Engine, Performance, space, Pick UpNormal Interiors, Bad plastic quality, Rough Shock Absorbers for bumpy rides.
