Honda Brio will make you fall in love with it...

This is my first review so I hope whoever reads it finds it useful. I bought my car on the 30th of August. On road price of the car was 5,58,000 + 9000(RSA+extended warranty) = 5,67,000/-

Seat covers got put from outside, cost around 5k. Tints in the car cost 9k, llumar. 90% front and 60% sides and back heat reduction. My car has done only 700kms till now, hence you can relate the review accordingly. It took my 2 months to finally go ahead and finalize on a car, and the brio was the obvious choice.

BRIO is the BEST car in its price Segment.

Swift - too expensive.

i10 - cost approx 30k more but the drive was not even comparable with the brio. (brio kicked ass).

Figo - drive is shit, car is 20-30k cheaper. nothing compared to the brio

Ritz - not test driven it, but hate the looks of that car.

Polo - too expensive.

Micra - I feel the car is too cramped up. It is smooth, but the brio has a way more cheerful engine.

Indica - last car was a indica, which was a petrol and was shit. hence didnt bother even considering a comparision.

Alto / Eon - lower segment

Punto/jazz/pulse - too expensive

Toyoya Liva -didnt test drive, but It was more expensive than the Brio, and I had read bad reviews of it on carwale.com

 

Once you test drive the brio, you wont find a car better than it in this price.

(I have heard it has the same engine as the jazz, dont know if its true, but certainly feels very powerful).

Exterior The look of the car in my opinion is stunning, its been really long since a car has appealed to me as much. Front of the car looks awesome, even better than the city I can say, but ofcourse the glass back might not be likeable for a lot of people.

My model S(O)MT doesnt have alloy wheels and fog lamps. Alloy wheels would look much better, but I like the look of the car with the entire rim as well.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) There is no cd player, which is not really required. aux and usb port are more than enough. Steering mounted control for the music player is really cool to have in a car of this price.

According to me this car has more space in comparision to the i10, Swift, Micra, Ritz, Alto etc. Only car that has more leg room than this car at the back seat will be the Indica. Figo would be at par, but not more. Reason for this is the front seats are very thin, hence increasing the amount of space.

Everyone in my family is 6' feet tall, and we are happy with the space in this car.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The engine hasnt freed up yet, hence it pulls a little. not planning to cross the 100lm/k mark till the first service which is at 1000kms. First tank gave me a mileage of 11km/l. Second tank I drove part city and part highway, gave me a mileage of 13. Part city means only 1st and 2nd gear.

Ride Quality & Handling Since the car is new, cant feel and bumps on the road. the handlin is just superb. Only time will tell how sturdy the suspension is.

Final Words Am in love with this car. Honda will never disappoint. 

Areas of improvement I wish Honda has put in a back wiper, would have made this car just perfect.

Everything about the car is a proVery small boot, and no rear washer/defogger
