Let's face it, cars in Brazil are very expensive, a vehicle of this size could be sold for a maximum of 100.000,00, I have a 2015 Etios, a vehicle that is good to maintain and relatively more affordable compared to other brands, if I have the conditions I will continue with Toyota because of its reliability.
I had a Corolla, I decided to go for an SUV which was an HRV, but I regretted it, as soon as I can I will go back to a Corolla or maybe this new release 🙏
Toyota, I only have praise!!!! Except for the price. In fact, all the cars are very expensive here!!
