Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox We bought this car in March 2017. Good spacious car because we found the Dzire very small for my height (I am 6'-1") We were looking for a car with little maintenance and ease of ownership. Toyota Etios fitted the expectation to the T.

Ride Quality & Handling Though there is a lag in lower gears with the AC on, the car picks up once you move to the 3rd and 4th gears. However we can drive at 2nd gear in city traffic (bumper to bumper). On long drives, it is smooth, and is great to drive even in pot holed roads of our city.  Gear shift is smooth and effortless.

Final Words Nice car if you care about quality and are not worried about gimmicks.  It is definitely much smaller than Ciaz, but quite comfortable when compared to a Dzire or Amaze, Aspire and Xcent.

Areas of improvement Dual wipers, Rear vent AC, better toned panel, fuel gauge (Cannot find out how much petrol remains and how far can we expect to drive with the remaining petrol).  Music system should be much better, Fuel efficiecy requires to be improved.
