Q. I want to know about the owner's opinion about Yaris?

The car has multiple issues and both the dealer & Toyota Kirloskar are unable to fix them. I am an unhappy Toyota Customer. The only good thing about the car is its inexpensive service.Issue #1-> Dull lethargic drive and slow pickup. Always feels underpowered. Not at all an exciting drive. Switching on the air-conditioning takes significant power away.Issue #2-> High cabin noise and vibrations. The engine gets uncomfortably noisy at RPMs over 4000.Issue #3-> Manufacturing defects and weak ergonomics. Rear wheel arches are missing an inside fender cover (Like that of Maruti Baleno OR that of the Camry). This transmits high road & tyre noise & vibration inside the cabin. Takes a toll on driving comfort.-> Driver armrest & Door armrest is placed in an inappropriate position. Driver armrest placement is an obstruction for the rear passengers. -> Poor plastic quality. -> Poorly positioned steering wheel. The steering wheel feels tad bit bigger to operateIssue #4-> Customer experience and service lapses. (With Espirit Toyota, Noida)-> On the first service visit, the dealership spent an entire day on the first 1000km inspection check. -> On the second service, same experience. Even though I was booked an appointment, I still had to wait the entire day for the service job.-> The dealership also denied E60 service by saying that it is done only for cars like Corolla & Innova. I have the call recording as well for this fraudulent statement.

I am pretty happy with my manual J version. Yes Espirit Noida will add a few unnecessary items during service if you don't check the estimate that they fiber you. You still then have to get them cancelled. But the car is great. The manual is a revelation if you are coming from Marutis. Driving it is effortless, gear shifts are very smooth, suspension is great, the car feels very stable and hardly any road noise even at 160 kmh, the sheet metal body is very robust and can take crashes without getting dented unlike Marutis.

Yaris is a very good car, maintenance free, very comfortable. my car has run 20000km.on highways where there's no frequent gear changing, if the rpm is maintained below 2500 it gives mileage of 17 to 18 km/ltr.I am satisfied with the performance.
