If you are looking to upgrade from a hatchback or even a sub-4 metre sedan, a car that you can look at purchasing in the pre-owned space is a sedan and what better than a Toyota. Yes, we are talking about the Etios. Now, it might not be the best-looking car in out there but it is the most practical car in the compact sedan segment to buy. You'll be able to land one in the pre-owned market for Rs. 5.5 lakh and this one will be in good shape. So let's talk about the Pros and Cons of buying a Used Toyota Etios.
PROS
- The Etios is a sturdy car and its high speed stability is good, so when you buy one, be rest assured of the quality.
- Trust Toyota with keeping maintenance cost to the lowest and the Etios continues with this legacy.
The Etios gets a spacious cabin and it can easily seat 5 people
CONS
- The plastic quality inside the cabin is not at par with the other cars in the segment. It does not enhance the look of the car.
- The Etios is a noisy car and that's because of less insulation used on it, so the engine and road noise creeps into the cabin.
- The car has been discontinued by Toyota, so finding spares could be a challenge.
- The Etios was quite popular in the fleet market, so make sure you do not end up buying a model that was used as a taxi.
