Honda Brio [2013-2016] User Reviews

Exterior Car looks stunning from outside,specially it's rear side.You will fall in love with brio in first sight only.It looks compact from  outside but don't believe on its exterior dimensions,it is very specious from iside.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Brio feels really classy from inside.Its amazing how this car carbs out so much of space inside.Audio system has good sound quality and you get 4 speakers with it.Steering mounted audio controls helps you to control your music.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I have driven around 200 Kms and I got 16KMPL in city and 19-20 on highway.I reached 120 KM/hr speed and it feels very stable at this speed as well.Gear box is not so smooth.This could have been better.What we can say about Honda's i-vtech engine,you can reach to 5th gear at the speed of 40 and it doesn't feel so that you are driving on top gear at this low speed.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is exremely smooth.You always feel joy while driving this car. I have driven around 900 KM in 2  days and i didn't feel so.

Final Words I though of lots of car in this segment (Grand i10, polo, swift, Ritz), but I found brio is lot of ahead of these cars.So don't think too much and go for it. Cheers!!!

Areas of improvement Not such any..just boot space it good but not excellent.

Specious interior,ease of ride and easy for parking and stylishBoot space is little bit less.

Exterior Amazing exteriors it is a different look from our swift,i20,micra, and all other hatch. brio have a special look and its a stunning car when riding time.

power steering amazing,good power(88@6000rpm), can tell its a perfect hatchback(i fell love vth it)oops,no light in power window switches @ni8.

Exterior What a finish my pal, you will just fall in love with this. I was just so confused which car to purchace. The moment I went to HONDA show room, I knew this was it, just 3 days over , I have booked my car, and cant wait for it to be delivered..

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very spacious, the design is very good and excellent comfort.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Dont know abt fuel consumption cause just took a test drive, But its as smooth as driving a honday city,

Ride Quality & Handling Very comfortable, and touching 110km was like a piece of cake and sitting inside you wont realize anything else.

Final Words Go for it, its worth the money, dont wait till its waiting time becomes like that of Maruti Swit,, its worth the money.

Areas of improvement Only boot space, but its too much to ask in comparision of other cars.

The looks, the comfort, simply everything in that price tag...Just the booth space.

I was looking for a new car and for that i have had many options in my head but there are many factors which i had to consider before searching for new Car for me. For this i started doing the followings; 

Internet : (The automotive India, Carwale, etc) 

Friends : Existing Car Owners Advices, 

Showroom : Went many showrooms and had test ride of having real experience

Street Watching : Started staring at many cars 

Friends and the visit to the showroom were two important things that helped me in deciding my cute car "BRIO"

Maruti Swift & Ritz, 

Hyundai i10 (i20 was not considered because i felt that it is little costly for me) 

I never had the Brio in my option because it is just launched on Indian Road and also not having good response (As expected by Honda). Ne a day (D Day) came, when the Honda People have a whole day campaign at my office and then i decided to have Test Drive of the car. I felt good to drive and ask Honda people to come to my home so that wife also have had test ride. Along with Honda i also called Maruti dealer for the same. 

So next day , we had test ride of both and still there was a confusion between Swift and Brio. Both of the cars having super refined engine and good handling. I am not concentrating more on the quality of the engine and the build, as i am having no doubt on the quality of both the Masters Auto Giants.But there are some points on which Brio Scores over Swift (Some Practical Points); 

A. For me, Swift has good design ,Although little bulky and fatty, which is little more prone to scratches in city traffic. Whereas, Brio looked futuristic in style, i specially liked the rear, as it gives more visibility from rear, that is boon for the driving in Indian Condition, 

B. I dont have problem with brakes of the Swift but the handling/ visibility was little uncomfortable for me and in BRIO, it seems like it great fun to drive this car. Brio can be easily driven in heavy traffic as well as having good stability on the HIghways. However, Brio is little shaky on the bad Roads (specially can be felt at back seats), but i feel, this is not an big issue as most of the Car in this segment having that problem. However, Brio at driving seat is marvelous and it felt like i am sitting in Big Sedan Car. 

C. BRIO is having fresh look whereas Swift is on Indian Road since very long. 

Salute to Honda for providing such a wonderful Car to the world.

Good Fuel Economy, Practical Interior, Handling during Traffic, Engine, H BadgeStill to find one

Exterior Stylish, chic, small is trendy.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Spaceous. Feels like in a middle class car. Spent 10 hours driving in the car without back troubles.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox We just bought the car in Bangkok and drove it 800 km south to Surrathani in southern Thailand. Amazing fuel consumption: 21.4 km/L !!! But you need to know how to achieve that. It's kind of great fun doing so and still drive with the flow of the other cars.

Final Words I'm living half of the year in Switzerland where I have a VW Polo Bluemotion Diesel - doubtless one of the abvsolute top cars of his class. The brio in comparison seems to be a truly good car in my opinion. Only the interior lacks of some minor details and cannot really cope with the Polo (*****) standard. I would even recommend it to swiss people. A nice car!

Areas of improvement NA.

Style, amazing fuel economy, driving comfortsome details missing inside

Exterior Exterior looks are not just good but EXECELLENT from front and rear, Specially REAR LOOK is different from all other hatchback, When u just see it u may fall in LOVE WITH IT. It LOOKS SMALL from outside but but but just step INSIDE it and  then u will know MAN MAXIMUM MACHINE MINIMUM concept. Its really spacious.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Looks like u r in premim sedan the dashboard quiality is superior compare to ritz wagon r n swift according to my view. Music system is ABOVE AVERAGE sound capability u wont need of any extra woofer. four speaker produces crystal clear sound with fine deep bass. Frontseats and rear seat space is really aquadate for four to five people.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox About engine I think u ride a silent speedboat in the sea with the maximum speed u want. Super silent ride no engine noice in the cabin at all. Average fe should be considered 15 though it gives 16 to 18 on highways.

Ride Quality & Handling Handling is BUTTER SOFT, Turning is PERFECT. U just take a td once and then u will belive in my words really.

Exterior looks . interior looksfeel like a big priemium sedan.average FE.None

People comment without really driving a car. When you get inside the car you'll be surprised to feel the amount of space Honda engineer has curved out of this small car. It's no way looks like a cheap sibling of Jazz or city. The boot space is a pretty small, but it can accommodate two medium sized bags with ease. So it depends upon one's usage whether he/she can compromise boot space for a quality product. In 5-6 lakh Rs budget you definitely get a quality product from Honda. Handling and driving experience so far has been great. From comfort's perspective I feel Honda should improve the suspension, the rear passengers do get jerk on bumpy roads. If you have a small family and you want  a car which will give you lots of fun and peace of mind with in a budget of 5-6 lakh, you should go for this car. I should suggest people to analyse their uses, know their expectation from a car, do a thorough analyses by yourself and most importantly , just sit inside the car and take a test drive, you'll surely know which one is your car. 

Style, comfort, handling, maintenanceboot space, no CD player, Fog light,

Initially i had no problem with the vehicle and i loved it. After passing 6000 kms, a noise is heard and service team told it is common across all brio. I wrote 3 mails to HONDA, but no replies from them. Finally after registering the complaint in the website, I got a reply from HONDA mentioning this is common noise and they will inform it to product department.

It denotes that they are having a product defect with the car. Later dealer called me to check for the drive shaft and that also did not work. Also, AC noise is high.

Please do not go for this product defect car and do not suffer of the bad service quality.

Please do not go for this defect product.

Exterior

The Exteriors of the car are well made as per Indian Standards. Its only the color of the car that I purchased which requires some heavy maintenance (Black) But yes its worth the pain to have a black beauty. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Interiors of the car are made with good quality Plastics unlike most Toyota and Nissan cars. The Spacing is supreme for the front and Rear seats. My friends and I have been pretty happy with the fact that the car can accommodate upto 5 people easily w/o any hastle. The external view of this car makes it look small but the moment you are seated inside it looks bigger than any car in its segment. I can bet you on this (Other than its brother JAZZ)

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

When it comes to Refined Engines Honda has never disappointed any of its customer. As I was just checking a few blogs and review posted by people with comments on the Pickup of the car, would like to state that this car is pretty good at its overall engine performance as it has a 1200 CC engine powered to loft 88 BHP. The power to weight ratio of the car has an added advantage for speedsters.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Supreme ride Quality as it sail on highways. Very good suspensions to not bump into pits.

Final Words

One thing that I actually noticed before I thought of writing this blog was I saw a lot of negative review by people who tried test riding this vehicle. What I would suggest is own it to know it.

Areas of improvement  

Just a humble suggestion to Honda manufacturers is that we middle class people in India can afford a Honda Car but not PETROL. So an alternate fuel would be a blessing from an engine that good.

Ride Quality, Super cooling Air Condition, Fuel Efficiency, Good Pick upDiesel Engine could increase the customer base
