Quite a big premium for the Honda Badge

I was planning for this car for quite some time and finally managed to get it on Jan 7th.This is my 1st review post delivery of the vehicle and will update it later as I drive more.

Pros:

1. Car looks good from the front,rear looks odd,though.

2. Engine at low RPM(metro-driving) is very smooth

3.Its quite easy to drive (you cant beat an i-10 on this, i-10 is a toy and recommended for everyone incl ladies and senior folks)

4.Being a Honda,I expect a maintenance free and long engine life apart from a good re-sale value.

Cons:

1.Interiors suck, its a 9 lakh rupee car!!!

2. Given our roads,its quite a bumpy ride

3.No accessories whatsoever! Not even mud-flaps!!!No music system,no wood finish,no alloys,not even a trunk mat!

4.The dealer prices for accessories are very high - Rs 34 K for a leather seats, Rs 7K for side-beading!!!, Rs 1.5 K for 4 mudflaps made of leather....

While the vehicle is good, its just too expensive and you will end up spending another 50-60K on music system/interiors etc....if you can do upgrade to Civic or look at Fiat Linea...but yes,if you want peace of mind - go for it.....

Good looks, Honda badgeBad interiors,basic accessories missing,expensive accessories at dealers end
