ஹோண்டா ப்ரியோ [2013-2016] யூசர் ரிவ்யுஸ்

Exterior Sporty look.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Pros: 1. The steering is the highlight of this small beauty. Its light and so easy to drive

           2. All other feature are also quite appreciable.

Cons: 1. No illumination in the steering music controls and power window controls

           2. Side mirrors are not adjustable from inside, which makes it difficult sometimes.

Final Words Proud to be an owner of a HOnda.. Engine and performance of the car is superb. I am driving the car from the past 2 months and have already driven 100kms. Till now, I dont have any serious complains as such.

Superb steering... Great gear transmission, very easy to handle the car, a definite value for moneyNo illumination in the steering music controls and power window controls.

Exterior Exterior is too good to talk about.Every corner being styled smartly. Edges and head light designed beautifully.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interier quality is too good as compared to other available hatchback. Most i liked it's music system. It gives a feel like a luxury car once you inside it. Space is good for 4 or 5 people.  Suspension is a point of consideration. It's a bit hard while driving on bumpy roads.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is very very good. It doesn't stopped while taking U-turn on 3'rd gear. No noise, no engine stop. Not even felt like it's on 3'rd gear. Gear is very smooth. You can even drive the car with single hand. Much better driving comfort than other hatchback. Feeling comes like Ye dil mange more once you drive it :)

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is Okay. Can be much much better if Honda can imporve upon it's suspension. No words to discribe handling. Simply Too Good.

Final Words A good car to buy only if you are not looking for a caravan. A good family car with adjustable boot space. i have tried fitting 28" and 18" suitecase together there at boot space. Somehow adjusted. If Honda can increase it's boot space say by 6inch(somehow) then it would be uncomparable hatchback(after JazZ) in market.

Areas of improvement Boot space, 60:40 divison of rear seat,Suspension.

Style,interier and music system qualityA bit less boot space,missing 60:40 rear seat division

Exterior Looks were one of the immediate attractions, that drove me towards a Brio. Some may have reservations over the looks from the rear; for me thats the stand out feature and love it. 

Front looks great as well; my blue Brio seems to be smiling and winking all the while 😄 ...and the bold silver "H" embedded on the grill reminds that he is sturdy too!!

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) It was a surprise given the impression that I first had reg space and comfort. Sufficient leg room  for the rear passengers.

The drivers seat is a bit crampy while entering in models with no steering wheel adjustment.(Would look for some comments from other users, on this ~ Thanks)

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Needless to say a petrol engine from Honda always rocks!! Just done under 1000km, and got a max of 14.1 kmpl. The gear box at nos 1 & 2 was not as smooth as 3,4 an 5 ; but got that right at the first service. Acceleration seems to be low at top gears, having to shift constantly to lower gears, for instance if you were to overtake(Not sure if thats a problem though, would look for some comments from other users on this ~Thanks)

Ride Quality & Handling Superb, feather touch steer. You ll simply fall for it.

Final Words Great car, Great VFM, Great Brand, its a genuine trend setter in terms of quality and looks in the hatch segment.

Areas of improvement Except for the two stated above, none. As far as my usage goes, I dont care about the boot space, but is deep enough and just sufficient.

Looks, excellent smooth drive, surprisingly spacious and comfortable interiorsPick up seems to be low at top speeds, had issues with the gear box at gears 1 and 2

Manyrequires gear downshift, if you were to accelerate at top gears

Exterior Good looking head lights and nice rear view.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort Its more spacious inside than it looks from outside. Can accomodate 5 people(provided atleast one of them sitting at the back is lean). Boot space can be improved. May be a 225 litre boot space would be good. Foldable rear seats would have been nice. Also front seat headrest can be foldable and driver seat height adjustment.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Very smooth engine, sometimes with the external noise you wont know if you have started the car or not. good pickup. you can take U-turns even in 3rd gear, the engine wont get switched off, provided you handle the clutch and accelerator efficiently. you can shift to fifth gear for 50+km/hr and the engine will be super smooth in 5th gear. gearbox can be better. gives an average of 15km/litre with city/highway combined.

Ride Quality & Handling Excellent handling and good front suspension, disappointing rear suspension.

Final Words Gr8 hatchback car from Honda. I would recommend this to anyone who looks for a good hatchback car.

Areas of improvement Rear suspension, Boot space, foldable rear sheets, slightly better gearshifts.

smooth engine, responsive steering, good ACrear suspension, boot spacee

Exterior Exeterior is the catch point. The Honda Badge is what every car lover wants and BRIO is no different. The Glass Back is really classy and same is my main reason of buying this car.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Space and Comfort is really good, expecially the Leg room in back seats. But the Dashboard sometimes seems it was  from Mayan Times. Honda defenitely need to bring moe tweeks in the interior to make it catchy.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine Performance can be considered good. Gear Shifting is smooth as any other Honda, But Fuel Economy is the not that great. I get around 14 Kmpl.. (Please note first service is yet to be done). I expect the Mileage to reach around 18 Kmpl after that.

Ride Quality & Handling Handling is smooth. Steering is light and turning radius for me is the catch point.

Final Words Good Car to Buy.

Areas of improvement Interior Dashboard and Styling. It is Simple but need more tweeks.

Good Style, Superb Seating comfort, Good PerformanceFuel Economy

Exterior Very Compact and attractive features. I had taken the VMT with fully Loaded.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Spacious and Good ride quality. 3 people can comfortably sit in the back.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good performance, but Gear change is little rough, but hope to get smoothen over time. AC is good.

Ride Quality & Handling Good pickup and smooth engine. Car looks sylish and gives all the comfort of Honda engine. I had driven this beauty all over Ahmedabad. Waiting for taking it for long drive and after which I will again give my reviews.

Final Words I would like to thank Landmark Honda, Ahmedabad for the excellent presales and after sales service. My sincere thanks to Mr Jigar of Landmark Honda who had helped in selecting this model and helping in all aspects till the delivery.

Areas of improvement Nothing at this point.

Value for MoneyNothing

Exterior The exterior of the car is very classy and the quality of ORVMs and other bosy is very good. The rear door is too strong though it is made up of glass but even if you hit it hard or close is hard it does not even make a wierd noise. In short HONDA has used a ruff and tuff glass in its hatchback which is too strong as sompared to any other car in the market.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) I have no words to explain the quality of product I got. Regarding features, HONDA gave me music system, steering mounted Audio control system, central locking in keys, electronically control ORVMs, all doors power window, high quality music system, super smooth steering that gives you the feeling of HONDA CIVIC. Regarding space, in hindi we use CHOTA PACKET BADA DHAMAKA, that quote applies here. From outside the car looks small and a product that has less leg space but when you sit you feel the space in the car is as equal as HONDA city. Regarding confort, the driving of this car if very confortable, I drove in on hills (Lansdowne) and HONDA showed its performance and confort there. The cutting was awesome and it gave me a feeling of a Honda Sedan Car.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The engine performance is as same as that of Honda City. Super smooth: Hearing the engine sound is very diffucult. There is no engine sound. Fuel Economy: I am getting 18km/l with A/C in city.

Ride Quality & Handling Gives you the feeling of a Sedan Car!!!

Final Words Best car in this segment. Value for money. Bikers get 30-35 km/l mileage but this car gives you 18-19km/l mileage. You can compare it with a bike.

Areas of improvement Nothing!

Mileage, Performance, Steering SmoothnessN/A

I purchased a Brio VMT in July 2012 from Green Honda, Hyderabad at 6.05 Lakhs and refurbished/garnished with all upscale accessories from them.  Costed me another 45000 Rs. I drove more than 1500 KM so far and fuel economy is never below 14.5 kmpl. I never had any regrets after purchasing Brio. This is A-Class product from Honda and after purchasing the car I kept my Hyundai Accent at arms distance, because, Brio has superior drive quality/feel/comfort and performance equalling a 1600cc Accent. 

I do not have any regrets and recommend prospective buyers of Swift /i20/Sail/Micra etc. to come out of the box, test drive the car and decide on the purchase, before taking the final plunge.

Now I am proud owner of one Brio and one Honda City (at my place of work) purchased in a gap of one month and planning on addidng the inventory with a CR-V / Accord or atleast the Civic very soon. This is not because I am a die hard fan of Honda but because of the Service / Support the Honda team provides and the build quality / performance of their cars.

Exterior

Brio has got beautiful looks with its curvaceous body and clean cut design. However, I feel its drawback is its rear design. Although, the Honda has gone unconventional in designing a full rear glass door, I feel its a tad bit less luxurious looking when you own the car. From out side the design is great and decent. Much better than (a dolphin like) Suzuki Swift. Nissan's Micra steals the show with Brio together in looks department. However, Brio takes the honours with its breath taking design. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Plush interior. When compared to my Hyundai Accent, I feel much better homely in Brio. Good Audio system with controls on the steering make you feel more in control of the proceedings. Good AC, well engineered boot space is good enough for a family of four for a quick vaqcation. Decent leg space in the rear and front, though, the rear entry restricts easy get-in and outs for the elderly. I feel its a great car for a family with two kids / yongsters who want to show off.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Engine performance is good. however, it lacks in pickup in third and fourth gears at slower speeds / when climbing. Once attains the high speed, the Engine revs up and gives a decent performance. I have driven up to a speed of 135 kmph on highways and was in full control of the vehicle and appreciated its sheer performance. As the vehicle crosses 80 kmph, we can feel slight vibration, occasionally, mainly due to the condition of our highways and not because of the design or engineering. I can rate the Engine performance equally if not better than a 1600 cc Hyundai Accent in this regard.

I am getting a mileage of 15 kmpl for Brio, when compared to my Honda City (13.5 kmpl / Auto Transmission) I feel slightly disappointed with the Brio's Fuel Economy. It should have been around 18 kmpl. The second service is over with no improvement in mileage. 

Ride Quality & Handling

Brio has got a very superior ride quality and handlng than any other models in this segment. I rate the car very high in its driveability and gear handling. Thecar gives you a feel of home once you are inside and the ride will be as comfortable in the front. However, the response to the speed brakers at the back is bumpy. 

Trust me I have driven all the cars in this category but felt most comfortable in Brio than any other model.   

Final Words

Great car for city roads, great car for small family, good value for money and great ride quality and after sale support from an efficient Honda Team.

Areas of improvement  

Mileage or Fuel Economy / Diesel Engines / Re-design of the Rear Suspension and Rear Doors.
