Exterior:
The Brio looks very masculine from front. The chrome grill with Honda logo aahhh that’s the best eye catcher for anyone standing on road. The looks are really fabulous with its aerodynamic look from side which we feel when we are driving on speed above 100kmph. The back i love which some may and some may not. The colors are also pretty peppy when compared to other brands..
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)
The interiors are very spacious with the front sporty driving seats. It almost gives us a feel of Honda City when we are sitting on the front with enough leg space for a guy like me 6 feet tall. The rear is a bit crimpy if both front sitting guys are 6 feet or else the space is ample for others. The seats are designed in a curve fashion which gives enough leg room for the people sitting back but i would recommend only 2 people in back as that is the best feel u would feel when u drive on for long journey. The plastics and the fiber used are the best in any hatchback compared till date. Very sporty analog triple meters with the audio system the best we can get. It comes up with all the features of sedan, dual air bags, ABS with EBD, adjustable steering with seats. I felt it almost the same as City with chrome inlets for ac and gear box which enhances the look & feel from inside.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox
The IVTEC 1200 CC Rocks. You can feel the raw power when you rave the engine above 100kmph. To my surprise i could beat almost all the major hatchbacks on highway. I would say when driving on 100 also you feel the complete control of the car. In the city it feels almost the same like all other cars since u don’t get the privilege to go above 60 as some auto wala or biker would block ur way :) specially in Mumbai. Now i went on a long drive from Mumbai to Nasik and to my surprise i would say i have got 18.9 kmpl which the brand promises it has proved. If you don’t believe my words do take ur Brio on highway and ride it over i m sure u can see ur analog meter tricking on 18.5 the least :).. Kudoos to Honda engineers for designing such a beautiful powerful car with super duper mileage. Secondly in the city i am getting around 12.9 kmpl in south Mumbai during the peak traffic hours. The gear box is very smooth it feels like makhan when driving in the city. Only remember to shift gears frequently when driving in city :)
Ride Quality & Handling
The ride quality is awesome at high speeds like 100 and above. We don’t feel that our control is lost even though you are steering at high speeds. I was able to reach to 130 kmph on highway. At lower speed it feels the same like any other car except the turning radius which is the best among all other brands and power steering is very smooth which you have to try out yourself it gives us the feel of sedan class i bet.
Final Words
All these power packed features come for a very competitive price. Finally i would say Honda is the only one which i would love to cherish through out this decade upgrading from Brio to City then to Civic and next which would come in next generations... Guys Honda Rocks drive it to believe it.. And finally only the tag line ‘It truly loves you back’ just remember to service your car on time and always wear ur seat belts and happy driving :).. Cheers
