Review after 6000 kms

Exterior- I love the way my silver Etos GD looks. Toyota has given excellent wheel covers with this model. 

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)- Absolutely comfortable for 5 full size adults. I have driven on long roads in this car with nobody complaining in the family. Wish this model had telescopic steering though. The boot in the car is awesome. 

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox- Absolutely smooth engine. You dont feel any lag while accelerating. Salute to toyota. I have driven for over 5000 kms in last 3 months and every single time its a pleasure to drive this car. No noise in the cabin except for a very low diesel noise which is standard in any diesel car. I have been getting an efficiency of 21kmpl on highways and around 15-16 in peak traffic of mumbai. With AC. Gears are very precise and smooth. 

 

Ride Quality & Handling- Ride quality and handling is good, though the car rolls a bit while taking sharp turns. The suspension isnt too hard and is comfortable.

 

Final Words- I bough this car after a lot of study and many test drives of competitors. and I can proudly say that I made a right decision. An absolutely no-nonsense, tension-free car.

 

Areas of improvement - Design of dashboardcan certainly be improved. Also, the body gets scratches very easily. Better metal thickness can be the only solution I guess. 

 

 

Comfort, loads of space in the cabin and in the boot, smooth engine, very low NVH levels,metal not thick enough, dashboard could be better looking
