    Exterior Side designing is good BUT Front reminds of outgoing Verna-Transform (Model before Verna Fludic), Honda should have given it aggressive looks like CITY or Civic.

    Front Indicators are not visible when headlamps are in Full/High beam. Auto makers should put Front turn Indicators on Head Lamp curve (like Punto, Linea, Corolla, Indica etc.) or above head Lamp (like i 20, Swift, Manza, Figo etc.). Indicators between Front Grill and Head Lamps are not visible with Head Lamps in High beam. REAR of BRIO is big big let down. Tail gate reminds of the 1st lot of Maruti 800 where only glass was lifted instead of Rear Tail gate. Tail Lamps look like half of Civic Lamps.

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good space, nice attractive features BUT again not enough for luggage in 4 Lakh plus car. Front seats are big let down. Many Automakers have stopped giving Adjustable front Head Rest in seats as Cost cutting, which is very bad. front seats Head Rest CAN NOT be adjusted according to height. No differance between Front seats of 4 Lakh BRIO and 1.5 Lakh Tata NANO.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Honda means good Fuel efficiency, nice durable engine and sporty gear box.

    Ride Quality & Handling Hondas score over rivals in this area. However, Front seats are let down, specially on long drives when Head Rest is NOT adjustable.

    Final Words Honda must re-think of Rear styling and improve Front seats with adjustable head rests, otherwise affordable HONDA car.

    Areas of improvement Rear Styling, front Indicator and Front Seats.

    Affordable HONDARear very annoying styling and Painful front seats (Looks like Honda made by Hyundai)
