Bad car from Honda stable

Exterior

 Decent looks however no provision for installing fog lights in the base model. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Too many faults in the interiors. Horn sounds like a scooter horn (very low), improper placement of ac vents which results in little cooling in the back. Side view mirrors in the base model can only be adjusted manually from the outside. No automatic or internal adjustment provided. Reminded me of my old maruti 800. This point was not mentioned by sales people at the showroom. No socket provision provided to add mobile charger as an accessory in base model. Power windows button not illuminated making it difficult to see the buttons at night. No dead pedal provided. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Engine is the only saving grace. Although a bit noisy, it packs a good punch especially diesel one. Fuel economy is good. Gives 20 kmpl on the highway. Gearbox is Responsive. 

Ride Quality & Handling

 Decent ride quality. However 3 people cannot sit comfortably in the back due to less cabin space. 

Final Words

 Spending close to 7.5lacs on diesel base version is not worth it due to many lack of features. Plus Honda after sales service is below average compared to maruti. & reason buying base model was the stereo system which is provided by HONDA doesn't have CD  player + no Bluetooth + no inbuild USB , thus no use of buying higher  ver. 

Areas of improvement  

 All the points mentioned above. 

 

Only mileage is goodA.c vents r poorly placed. No cooling in the back, no socket for mobile charger
