Few owners of the Etios and Etios Liva have complained that the car has high NVH levels and cars lack refinement of similar subcompacts and superminis available in the market and also has poor build quality. It is noisy due to poor sound insulation evident to cost cutting. The Etios has also substantial low levels of features and equipment compared to other cars in its class.
