Re: Ownership Review by Raghuram - Toyota Etios GD (Harmony Beige)
First service was got done within 15 days from the date of purchase in Nov. 2011. The cost was "Zero". Booked the car for service 3-4 days in advance. Reached the service centre at 9.00 am and got delivery by 11.30 am. First service in essentially a routing check and washing. Nothing more.
Second service is due at 10000 kms. and I am another 1500 kms. away from the magic figure. I am told it would cost around Rs. 1,700/-. Would give my detailed experience on it may be during the month of April 2012.
However, whatever limited interactions I had with the service people, were good. As mentioned in my "Ownership review", my experience with the Toyota on-road service people was also good.

Very nice pics buddy.
Dil khush kar diya!
The Car looks brilliant in Beige!
Suggestion- One thing is not looking nice at all - THE PARKING SENSORS.
Maybe paint them Beige colour, Is spoiling the look of the rear.

Thanks for the complements !!! I am with you regarding the colour of parking sensors. The colour of the sensors available in the mkt. were not matching with the colour of the car, hence got fitted black colour. As suggested will try to get it painted in Beige colour.
As mentioned in my Ownership review, I am getting an awsome average of around 21-22 kmpl. I am giving below a graph of the fuel economy till date from the date of purchase... AWESOME....

Excellent Review Raghuram,
Good to see another happy Etios owner like me (Etios G -17000+km ). I also happen to be near your office area at Ph II . How about catching up sometime?

Winter is over, hence no need for fog-lamps. Anyway, I don't like fog lamps. It creates more problem for vehicles coming head on rather than helping during foggy night. I don't know about Bangalore, but in Delhi people don't have traffic sense. They don't know when to use high beam, leave alone fog-lamp.![[anger]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Anger.gif "Anger [anger]")
But since summer is setting in, surely we go in for sun-films.

@ishwaraghu, excellent write up! Etios fits the bill perfectly if someone needs a no-nonsense practical car.
Regarding the reverse light, it is like in most European cars where one side it is reverse light on the other side you get rear fog lamp. It is quite odd looking.

@CrazyCat... But can I have the other side reverse light activated too ???? Surely there must be a bulb inside or it would have been left blank....

@akash and vishwas, I also feel the same.
But, They are planted on the outside (Just between the windshield and A pillar) in a way that they face outwards. So, They cause distraction for the oncomers.
Otherwise, My friend (Siddharth) usually uses this for some showoff purpose (You know what I mean - Gals!). And , During Highways, He switches them off and in city , Sometimes he uses in the evening, After 7-8pm, It becomes too much glowy!

Couple of days back there was heavy rains during the night in Delhi. Mind it, it was indeed very heavy for nearly half an hour. But in the morning when I opened the door while leaving for office, there was no signs of water seepage through the door on account of so called missing rubber beadings.
