I am also driving Fiat Palio 1.2 Elx currently, so my expectation was high when purchasing Honda Brio. In all area i have found the Brio good except the suspension compared to Fiat palio. Fiat Palio flattens the road But Honda Brio not.
Exterior I like Front and Rear look. Side look might be good if length would be increased.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) I got Brio S MT at 4.65 lacs on road price with in-built 2-Din music system in Nov 2012. No other car of this category was providing in-built 2-Din music system at this price. Interior looks good and roomy. Seats are comfortable and there is sufficient room inside the car. My height is 5'11'', so for me, rear seat is not so comfortable due to lack of thigh support. Rear suspension is not so good. For large path holes you will need to make the car very slow, otherwise rear passengers will curse you :)
Good AC with large vents to cool the cabin fast.
Good Music system but without CD/DVD player. Boot is small for this segment.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is very smooth. But initial pickup is less Despite engine with 88 PS and 109 Torque. High rev pickup is good for overtaking.
Average mileage is 13 - 14 with ac and 14-16 without ac in city driving. Mileage increased as time passed. GearBox is good. GearBox is becoming smoother as time passes.
Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is good. Handling is the key feature of this car. Handling is very very good. I feel comfortable driving in city and highway.
Steering is very light, very useful in city.
Final Words Value for money with Quality. You will not regret the car if you have no much requirement of large boot.
Areas of improvement Suspension should be improved. Its length should be increased at least 100-150 mm to increase the boot and for side look.
