    Exterior

     Good Look

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

    Interiors in SV give a feeling of cheap plastic when compared with Skoda and Verna in similar range. 

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

    Gearbox is too hard. Bluetooth mic doesn't work and showroom says you need to speak at the top of your voice for the other person to hear your voice. 

    Ride Quality & Handling

    Pick up is not as good. For example,  If the speed reduces to 40KMPH in traffic and you are running in 5th or even 4thgear, car will not pickup until you bring down the gear to 3rd. I did not realise it in test drive and pickup seem OK but realised it while driving in daily traffic conditions.

    Final Words

    I have bought the SV model just 20 days back and realised these issue. Mainly the bluetooth mic located in the stereo body due to which your voice is not clear and too low for the hearing party.  When i spoke with dealer i got to know that the test drive was given in V, where the mic is in roof. The dealer changed the stereo twice and now its been changed by the sterio vendor but problem remains the same. Its a basic feature which doesn't work and Honda doesn't take responsibility of improper information and poor qaulity even when multiple issue have been raised since 2014. 

    Areas of improvement  

     Many
