Honda WR-V a user's review

Hi there !! Currently, I am using Honda WRV SMT Edge model. This compact SUV is quite good in exterior designing having a sturdy, muscular appearance. It has highway friendly 6 speed manual transmission which is really upto the mark on highways. The plus side of this compact suv is its ground clearance and mileage which is around 22 to 23 in normal traffic conditions on highways and 18 to 20 on city roads. I personally do not appreciate much the sunroof though it may be a luxury worth affording in the price range of 10 to 11 lakhs. The flip side of my driving experince with this SUV has been its balancing as it starts slightly oscillating as you cruise past 100 kmph on highways. As compared to other compact suvs in the same price band, it would have been better had its makers Honda given certain technologies like hill launch assist and park assist. Most of the Indian buyers tend to compromise with the security features of the cars and this one too aids them by offering only two airbags for the front seats. Given a not so wide availability of Honda service network in our country, this vehicle is worth buying provided one lives in some good city.
