    Exterior As a whole looks cute car but when you go to detailing its poor. The rear bumper has an awkward shape and is edgy at corners, desing of lights quite impressed me. Door handles feel very down market as paint is not smooth.The under body design is very clever and to provide optimum ground clearance.if you look under the car,everything is embedded into the mainframe of the car and nothing hangs down.

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) EVEN BEAT IS MORE SPACIOUS talk least about intereior space and comfort if you want to like this car. Every utility is cut shortened in size to proveide interior space still u don't find it. glove box is useless,bottle holders are just "pepsi my can" holders but yes cup holders are of good size and boot is sacrificed for rear leg room. seats are a tad too flat ...no contouing for thigh,lumbur and back support makes it uncomfortable for long drives...cheap plastics all around the car except for the steering.there is almost NO BOOT SPACE. seems honda has designed it strictly for city drive and if you want to travel a litte more you have to take out CITY for that hehe...feature are just as per market wave....basic:- 2 power windows,ac, power steering, beige interior. mid variant:- 4 power windows,central locking(not remote), body coloured ORVMs. 2nd to top:-audio sys with usb and aux, airbags, abs, remote central locking, ateering mounted control. top:- alloy wheels , fog lamps for just 20 extra gransds.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox As good as every honda spot on gearbox and engine refinement, ARAI certified mileage- 18.4, which is class leading.good bottom end and mid range but feels choked on high revvs.

    Ride Quality & Handling Suspension carries over the over soft honda feel which is good for straight roads but bad for hard cornering as it gives too much of body roll. rear seat ride is not as good as front seats because of sloggish suspension.

    Final Words A dissappointment from honda when in the same price there are bigger cars like micra and figo with same features almost and same fuel economy.

    Areas of improvement In the structure they designed for the brio this is the most they can provide but yes suspension has to be tuned up to a more rigid side and plastics badly need to be improved.

    Price, Honda smoothness, steering and gear knob, A pillar is least hyndering, good under body desigalmost zero boot space, poor paint quality and poor plastics..
