    Exterior Well I fell in love with the exterior when I saw it for the first time, so you might think that my review is a bit biased but I just love the extrerior. the science behind the exterior is just amazing. the exterior is based on 2 triangles with an aerodynamic body. The body is extremely stable at speeds above 100kms. I've driven wagonr for 4yrs n swift for 2 but I love the stability of brio the best.

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) You might say that the interiors are a bit small but they are not cramped in any way. honda has made use of all the space it had. u get feel of sitting in swift wen u sit in brio, sporty front seats adds to comfort while driving on highway or at high speeds. 5 people sit nicely in the car without any trouble.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Gear box is excellent but takes a while to get used to after driving maruti for so long.

    Engine performance is just amazing.. u can overtake a car in 4th gear with no problem at all. there is no lack of power in the car. although the 1.2L engine from jazz and been tuned down, still there is a lot of power in the car. even with 5 heavy people in the car, you'll have ample of power to zoom away.

    I get a mileage of about 15.5 kmpl in city with 100% ac but at speed of max 60. but if i drive super smooth, trying to get eco mode most of the time, it can go upto 16.5kmpl in city.

    on highway it can give u 19kmpl very easily. even if u r driving rash, u'll get mileage of 16kmpl on highway. fuel economy is one of the best features of the car.

    Ride Quality & Handling Best in class ride quality and handling.

    First thing u'll observe when u take test drive of brio is that its as comfortable as honda city. i own city automatic so i can tell the difference. the steering wheel is almost the same, there is almost no engine noise or cabin noise. the car is super silent. and its super smooth. On smooth roads it feels like the car is floating on air, on bumpy roads you might feel a few big bumps, coz car is a bit small but most of the bumps are absorbed by the great suspensions. Very small turning radius. Small car so easy to overtake n turn. Its a bit too low, so u might end up hitting the front bumper in a pit, but overall ride quality is just amazing.

    Final Words If you are looking for a small car for small family and not looking forward to go on outstation journey then this is the perfect car for you. Its the best luxury you can get in this size of a hatchback. Other than the small boot space, there is no prob in the car.

    Areas of improvement Well the top model could come with a few more features like rear defogger, etc. Also the price is a bit high for such size car but when you see the comfort of the car, its totally worth it. In case you have any specific queries, feel free to contact me at XXXXXX@gmail.com

    ECO mode, best in class comfort, steering smooth as honda city, small size easy to drive, engine,lack of rear defogger, takes time to get used to clutch n gearbox,
