VERY POOR MILEAGE with such sophisticated engines

Exterior

The car looks good from outside. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

The interiors are good. A/C vents are nice. Gear shift lever is smooth and appropriately placed for driving comfort.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 I have purchased Etios Liva (V model) in Jan 12 . During purchase I have been told that car will give mileage of 14km/liter with A/C in city and 18 km/liter on highway. But I am getting only 10 km/liter mileage in city. I have been told that after 1st service the mileage will improve but the mileage is still 10 km/liter.

Ride Quality & Handling

Very smooth steering movement. Comfortable for long drives.

Final Words

Every thing is good about the car except mileage. Toyota needs to work on improving the mileage.

Areas of improvement  

The Tachometer is placed on the left side which is not comfortable to see the speed while driving. It should have been palced in front of steering for easy viewing of speed. VERY POOR MILEAGE. Toyota needs to work hard on improving the mileage.
