En blykbaar gaan hy onder R100k kos, inside info.

Johannes n 1.4 Toy vir onder R100k ..... lanklaas sulke pryse gesien ...

sou verwag n Toy sal ten minste 150k kos .... (nie dat ek dit sal betaal nie)

Wel sou dit nie wonderlik wees as dit waar is nie?
My vriend werk al jare vir Toyota en sy beter helfte wat ook daar werk gaan in Mei maand
een koop sodra dit bekend gestel is en volgens hulle gaan die prys on R100k wees.
As dit dan so is stel ek ook sommer belang, so kom ons kyk maar, dalk weet die mense wat
binne is meer as ons wat buite is.

Saw it at the KKNK, the Yaris is still a better quality buy. Handles feel toooo much plasticy, interior, well, everyone got their own opinion..... Waiting for the price to judge in full.

Correct, the Avio and Etios are plastic / tupperware, the Yaris more solid, but in a different class.

kfxnando · Post by **kfxnando** » Tue May 01, 2012 6:09 pm

before I decided on the Aygo, looked at every thing, including the Yaris

too much money for too little car

specially when one starts looking away from bottom of the range

maybe the Etios will be better value for money

just my 2c

The Toyota Etios, the new entry-level car designed specifically for third-world markets, is being launched to the South African media as we speak.

Having just attended the press conference we thought you'd like to hear about the pricing situation before our journalist climbs into one of them for a test drive in the Western Cape. We plan to bring you full driving impressions early on Wednesday.

Available in both sedan and five-door hatch guises, all Etios models are powered by a 66kW 1.5-litre engine and every model has power steering and air conditioning.

PRICES:

1.5 Xi 5dr - R115 800

1.5 XS 5dr - R120 900

1.5 Xi 4dr - R121800

1.5 XS 4dr - R126 600

Saw one today at Bedfordview Toyota. Did not pay much attention to it as I was drooling over the 200VX on the floor!

Slots in between Aygo and RunX.

Johannes van die See · Fri May 18, 2012 3:44 pm

Siende dat enige voertuig se waarde drasties val die oomblik as jy hom van die vloer af ry sal ek
my naam op n waglys sit vir n demo model en maar n rukie wag..........

ChrisF · Post by **ChrisF** » Fri May 18, 2012 5:49 pm

so here is the prelim feedback

Toyota Barolworld Tygervalley delivered their first SOLD unit today. So YES, they are very much available, as of TODAY.

In fact the first model, the sold one, only got to their floor LATE today .... so no test drive today. But they will have a hatchback and sedan for test drive as of Saturday 19 May 2012.

Having LOOKED at the hatchback up close - I think the competitors will take a knock. In my opinion this unit offers better value for money than many other models out there.

I looked at the "Xi" model -

it does NOT have:
- black door handles
- electric windows
- no radio (found this very surprising!!)

It DOES have:
- ABS and EBD
- full size spare tire (175/..R14 tires)
- power steering
- full upholstery (not the bare metal panels found in the Aygo)

I was told the "XS" has a higher spec level .... will have to see what that offers.

side note - found the single wiper most interesting .......

will take a test drive next week, and give more feedback then.

Ek en my wedergeweld is in die mark vir `n nuwe voertuig aangesien onse Yaris verhuis het na ek dink Soweto.

Een probleem wat ek het met die Etios is dat sy diensplan net 30 000 km is en dat hy elke 10000 km gediens moet word.

Son is dit `n Etios, weer `n Yaris of `n Aygo.

:problem:

Aygo is volgens almal te klein en afwerking nie altyd te goed nie. :|

Yaris is te duur maar die een wat ons gehad het was puik in alle opsigte. :|

Etios - diensplan en is die enjin area byvoorbeeld nie eens oorgesprei nie. :|

Kyk nou maar ook na ander vervaardigers as Toyota.

spot on about the service interval, and the service plan

we have been on the road since 4am, and on the way home drove past the dealer where I bought my aygo, at 1pm on the dot, they were about to close, however managed to highjack a few minutes of the salesman time

it is nice, the rear of the hatch IMO is not so nice

then and don't take my word go see for yourself
in my Aygo, 3dr, I have my seat all the way back, and my steering adjusted on its highest position
and this gives me more leg and arm extension space, then Etios
however left to right the Etios is slightly bigger
the big thing then comes on rear passenger space, my Aygo almost has none with my seat all the way back, no one has ever even sat on the rear seats of my Aygo
the other thing that I did not even look at, however sure it will be no contest is the boot, any boot is bigger then the Aygo 's boot

again only had a quick look
believe they only have two airbags, that is according to the salesmen
no model comes standard with mags
the one that I sat in had a rev counter

depending how big you are, and if its just two or more people. . . . . .

when I get time, will go have a better look

So who has bought this car and whats the feedback?

Help me out with two things I don't fully understand please, what does the following mean?

Toyota Service plan > 2-Years / 30,000Km
Warranty > 3-Years / 100,000Km

And last question, does it really take a week for the trucks to transport vehicles from Durban Toyota Import Yard to Cape Town?

Guess who's scoring some browning points..........................loads of browning points,

Traveler · Post by **Traveler** » Tue Jul 24, 2012 7:18 am

Service plan is not for free. It is worked into the vehicle purchase price. So if a service would have cost R1,500, you now pay R1,500+interest. And in money terms the latter services are costing you more because more time has gone past.

Rather pay the services out your pocket on such a small car.

I think they could have brought down the price on the Etios by another R10k if they left out that piece of chrome on the rear of the boot lid.

Truck will typically take 3 days from DBN to CT, ONLY if they are dropping other vehicles on the way there. But a direct trip is 2 days.

Service Plan - They will service the vehicle "for free" for the first 2 services or 2 years which ever comes first (note I say 2 services because it's service intervals are 10 000km)
Warranty - Any factory defect will be repaired / replaced free of charge for the first 100 000km or 3 years, which ever comes first.

I am surprised no one has commented on the cluster???

I went to see the car and was quite impressed until I opened the door and saw the cluster!!! Yikes!
I looks like the designers took some courses in China - it makes the GWM Florid look classy.

What a disappointment

Ek kan nie glo dat Toyota hulle naam op so n .......... sleg geboude budget chinese kar kan sit nie. Hulle het nie eers die binnekant van die enjin bay klaar gespry nie. Dis n skande op die Toyota naam . Kyk eerder na n Kia of n Hyundai.

Dis met 'n doel so gedoen.
1) Dit spaar gewig, MAW beter brandstof verbruik en meer responsive enjin
2) As jy die buitekant wil oorspray van WIT na enige ander kleur hoef jy nie die enjin te verwyder om die enjinbay ook oor te spray nie.

Nou ja toe, dan is ek seker 101% Brand Biased want ek hou by die Toyota badge, my vrou is baie happy dat sy n nat nuwe Etios kry en ek is ook tevrede met wat ek kry vir die prys.
Ons het wel gekyk na die Aygo maar 3 FLe later dan is die boot vol so, nee dankie, maar dit is n mooi pad pysie.
Nou ja, ons is n nuwe Etios ryker, sodra die trok hom aflaai sal ek n foto neem en laai.

I dont think the car looks too bad at all and like you say, you get what you pay for.
For me the Dash and cluster design just doesn't work but design, like paint colour is a subjective thing so each to there own.

Ons hulle lang trane oor n 1300cc wat 180k kos.

Dan bring die manne n BUDGET kar in en nou kla ons dit is "te basic" ....

Dit is n GOED KOOP kar ! Sekere items sal nie met die Lexus vergelyk nie !

Kyk na "waarde vir geld", en dan maak die pakket BAIE sin ! :)

Persoonlik dink ek dit is n PUIK city-run-about.

Hoop net dit gee die tipe myle wat ons verwag van iets met n Toy badge.

Johannes - enige rede hoekom julle die Etios gevat het bo die Aygo ??

Toyota hier by ons het nou n uiverkoping op die Aygo - R 112 000 op die pad koste, mags rev counter ens. FULL SPEC, net baie klein ... Sê net as ek more moet oorstap en een reserve vir jou ... (stir icon asseblief)

Ek het normaalweg n klompie goed wat agter in die boot lê, nie seker die Aygo sal werk vir ons nie.

n Groot vriend van my werk by Toyota in Vredenburg, ekt hom gaan sien en eerste uit gevra oor die Aygo.
Sy antwoord was vinnig en duidelik, "Drie kondome dan is die boot vol"
Hulle het ook nie een op die vloer gehaad nie so ons kon hom nie bekyk nie en die weskus is maar weskus, ek gaan nie Kaap toe ry om n Aygo te kyk nie.
Nou ja toe het hulle twee nuwe Etiose op die vloer en my vrou was dadelik mal daaroor.
Ek het hom deur gekyk en in die agtergrond na my vriend se komentaar geluister oor al die specs maar daars nie veel wat ek sou kon doen om my vrou van plan te laat verander nie, sy was oog op slag verlief op die ryding, nou ja, die res is geskiedenis, nou moet hy net kom.

I bought a new Etios in May, the week of the launch in CT. I must say it is very spacious inside, 5 people no problem with more than enough head and leg room. Quite nippy with the 1.5l engine and nice and fuel efficient. It feels very solid on the road, all round a good build, no tinny feel or sound like some of the competition.
Overall very impressed.
