ETIOS DI సీల్ A LOYAL FRIENDLY CAR

IT WAS BACK IN 2012 JULY WHEN WE BOUGHT OUR ETIOS SEDAN VD MODEL, AFTER A LOT OF RESEARCH. ITS BEEN 6 YEARS WITH THIS CAR AND I WOULD APPRECIATE HOW PRACTICAL THIS CAR HAS BEEN WITHOUT THE USUAL POMP AND SHOW. THE DESIGN AND INTERIORS ARE BASIC BUT PLEASING. THE STRUCTURE HAS BEEN TOUGH AND SUSPENSION WITHOUT MUCH TROUBLE. IT IS QUITE STABLE ON HIGH SPEEDS AND THE ACCELERATION IS LINEAR WITHOUT ANY JERKS. ROAD CLEARANCE IS GOOD MOST OF TIME UNLESS IT IS FULLY PACKED. SERVICE COST AND MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN LOW WITH SPARE PARTS READILY AVAILABLE. THE MILEAGE IN CITY IS AROUND 16 AND ON HIGHWAYS IS 20+. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THIS CAR NEARLY EVERYDAY AND IT GIVES A VERY GOOD RELIABLE DRIVING EXPERIENCE. LUGGAGE IS NO PROBLEM. WE COULD TAKE ALL THE KIDS DESIRE TO TAKE ON A VACATION AND STILL HAVE PLENTY OF CABIN SPACE. SOMETIMES THE TOYOTA SERVICE STATIONS ARE PACKED SO IT TAKE A LONG TIME FOR SERVICE. BUT I USED TO TAKE IT TO A TRUSTED GARAGE , WHERE NEARLY ALL OF THE SERVICE WAS DONE WITHOUT ANY COMPLAINTS. AND THE BEST PART IS IF YOUR ETIOS IS WELL MAINTAINED IF GETS A GOOD RESALE VALUE. IT IS A BUDGET FAMILY CAR WITH ALL THE PRACTICAL GOODIES.
