Toyota Etios Valco 1.2 Type G M/T

Toyota cars were originally sold in India. Several times to sign up for a test drive at the Toyota exhibit, but always failed either because I am tired of waiting queues or because the dealer thinks I'm not a potential buyer

performance

1197 cc DOHC engine with 5-speed owned Toyota Etios Valco beyond my expectations quite responsive. When you step on the gas a little deeper, without delay directly channeled power from the engine. Lightweight clutch pedal a little to make me comfortable in the conditions of stop-and-go.Steering Toyota Etios Valco also have a good response and a light, thanks to the electric power steering installed in this car. In conclusion, the performance of the Toyota Etios Valco suitable for use in the city, but also will not encounter any obstacles while devouring travel between cities.

Comfort

Suspension Toyota Etios Valco little harder when compared with Xenia-Avanza VVTi which is actually a commercial car, but it seems to me to make the Toyota Etios Valco more stable to drive in high speed. Although I say "a little harder", does not mean the car is not comfortable to drive in the city. I do not much shaken when some times I bulldoze holes and bumps. Features ABS on Type G also functions very well.

Interior

Toyota Etios Valco cabin space quite relieved. Although from the outside the car looks small, it legroom both the driver and passengers in the front and rear big enough. Head unit installed in this car has a USB slot and aux, so you can listen to your favorite music contained in the USB or other music players such as iPods. Speedometer with white background showing a sporty impression.

Unfortunately, only three things are a plus interior Toyota Etios Valco. Dashboard and panels in the car is only available in black color even in Type G, type the top of the car. Plastic impression is also too visible, so there is no impression of luxury in the car. Whereas competitors such as the Toyota Etios Valco Nisan March and Honda Brio offers an interior that looks more luxurious and with two shades of color. The worst of the interior of this car is the dashboard position is too high. This will pose a problem for those of you who have a high under 160 cm. My own posture 164 cm somewhat disturbed by the position of the dashboard like this.

exterior

Toyota Etios Valco not a car with a very attractive appearance. From the outside I saw that the car is like a combination of Toyota Starlet, Toyota Yaris, and several other Toyota cars. Although there is an impression mixed up, Toyota Etios Valco can still make look nice. Out of 10, I could give a 6.5 for the exterior appearance. But there is one little thing that I menggangggu: body material used in the car is relatively thin in order to obtain a light weight car. The car's weight is only 920 kg, to compensate for the engine installed. For comparison, trying to tap part of the door Toyota Etios Valco and compare with his brother, the Toyota Yaris, then you will find that the Etios knocking sound louder than the Yaris. Etios Valco so if you have a collision, do not be surprised if the car will look badly dented although actually impact collision is not too strong.

Conclusion

Toyota set a price of Rp 164 million for the Etios Valco Type G (not including cash back bonus / discount etc.). This car is not the only option in kelassmall hatchback 1200 cc, in this class there are other options as I mentioned earlier, the Honda Brio and Nissan March. Honda even offers a variant of Brio Satya, car LCGC the starting price for most types of low could be around 40 million cheaper than the lowest type of Etios Valco.
