    First of all the diamond shape style from honda reminds me of the F-117 Nighthawk from Lockheed Martin. This car has such a balanced frame, you can drive it anyways you like it. For the looks it's totally different. Well I was looking for a bigger hatchback in terms of space but just got carried by it's looks. Also you don't get unneccessary chubbiness here and there.

    The sitting position is perfect for me as I'm 6 ft in all and don't require height adjustment but the smaller kind would definitely require that. The controls are easy to reach and the car has a perfect driving position. A good view of the front and sideways and the rear glass boot lid helps to get a clear view whats behind. A bit more insulation is required for sound proofing the cabin. the boot space is small but I would say that customers should see this as a car for singles or for people who love their vehicle  and not for persons who like to carry the whole society for a ride. Those can hop onto other brands.

    Engine performance is fantastic. One loves revving this honda's silky smooth engine and driving on open roads in Punjab is a dream came true. Also uphills this car is perfect as the body control and the supporting engine lets you drive like a wrc pro. The fuel economy green "ECO " light is a booster to save fuel also try not to rev more than 1800-2000 rpm while cruising. You'll save fuel and the environment. The gearbox needs more freedom while engaging.It's smooth and direct while it requires a smooth syncing like the engine.

    The ride is taut and under control no matter what speed you're driving you always feel that confidence while negotiating a simple or sharp turn. While the comfort inside the car is good.The ac is good in cooling the interiors quickly. 4 people of 6ft size are having all the space they need with good legroom and headroom, 5th can also come but of a smaller size albeit. The music sysytem has a decent voice and ergonomics are also perfect.

    I've driven 20k's in the car and have never felt like shortage of power or style or boot space. This car is not for lugging load but it's your companion. As Honda says you "love this car it will love you back". Only say would be kindly check what your rquirements are an then buy a car.

    Some more features like more insulation inside the cabin, a small alloy antenna in place of the older kind and a diesel engine for Brio would make this the next best seller in India.

    Engine, handling and dynamcs.Small boot space.
