Hi All,

Any views on this car? Seen so many around these days but not sure how reliable?

Thanks
 
Why not the hyundai i20? Its an awesome looking car and has much more features.
 
I sold them for a while.

Very basic, and really the only reason it is selling so well is because it's a Toyota.

If it had been rebadged as anything else, people would be ripping them to pieces.

Engine is very peppy, but finish is Third World, to put it mildly.

Rather buy something else, honestly...

It could have possibly already been rebadged; looks very much like a Dacia or Renault Logan.

Possibly, but if it was me, I would look for a better quality slightly used car at roughly the same price.

I'm my own worst enemy. every time I look I think 'now what could I buy if I saved this money'. very counter productive to the mission.

No, absolutely no link between them - the Etios is simply a Third World cheapie, thrown together in India, and sent out here.

The sound proofing is so bad in these cars, that you cannot hold a normal conversation at 80 km/h, because of the noise!!
 
Nippy little car hat is damn light on fuel. I had one for a week in ct, hired car. It is a cheapie so you get what you pay for. Test drive one for yourself and see if you like it. But as Fazda suggested look for a better quality slightly used car at roughly the same price.
 
they have a little bit more power then the other entry level cars which is nice.

etios- 66kw
vivo - 55kw
I10 1.25 - 64kw

and its a toyota so it will last
 
Overpriced. Brio is a better buy - but only the sedan cause Brio hatch is the ugliest car ever.

Remember reading that and for the South African market they had to add more sound proofing in the doors.
 
The new Corolla makes no sense at all. Toyota is becoming more and more overpriced and overhyped, kinda like VW.

I actually put the Brio into the same "class" - another crappy little car built in India

Must say my Indian built i10 came in handy when we had some flooding in my suburb (Somerset West) as it was one of the few cars to be able to navigate the street and survive due to its lack of electronics. :)
