Honda Brio [2013-2016] User Reviews

Exterior Lovely Xternal ones.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) First I was in dilemma due to space reviews on net. But Yesterday dated 14th dec 20011 after purchasing and actually driving found out tht there is no such thing as less space. Though I figured that there is less boot space but I also understand that I have purchased a small car andnot sedan.There is enough space for family. I had drove car with heavy body and tall  person too. It is very very clever on Honda part to have curve the back of front seat to rest knee properly. Very Very Comfortable CAr.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox One of my friend started car didnt realise that already it is started n again ihe gave ignition and it made small sound.  Lovely car no sound from engine, very very light Sterring and super smooth gears. I was able to change gears with my finger. Though knob ( Top of gear) seems small but very very effective. The fuel eco of car just coming out of dealer is 19.1 ( drove 70kms ). If we considere error of 3 km/l I stil get 16 kms/lit from a car tht has just come out of showroom. I have friends who purchased Polo, EON all complaint of not getting avg and dealer explained that they will definately get a god avg after first service. but my car is just giving now even b4 first service.

Ride Quality & Handling The super  smooth sterring is giving xcellent handling. lovely jumpers didnt bumps with mediate height.

Final Words Just buy it. Its value for money.

Exterior Sexy exterior. Very stylish. Electric blue color makes it look funky.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors are comfortable. Doesn't feel like a small car. Plastics are excellent. Toyota could learn something from Honda on this front. I am 5"11. My dad is 5"9. He can sit comfortably behind me. Features are par with the competition. I love the USB port and steering mounted audio controls provided.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox What a sweet engine. Good power available. Acceleration is terrific. Fuel economy is around 12-13kmpl in city with moderate AC. Cant really complain. Gearbox is smooth and positive.

Ride Quality & Handling Handling is very good. The car has a taut suspension. Ride is good. Feels pliant at high speeds. Ground clearance is enough.

Final Words Excellent car. Got an excellent deal. Free insurance, loyalty bonus, 32" led tv, extended warranty plus road side assistance. What else can one ask for. Extremely happy with the purchase. :) 

Areas of improvement Nothing really.

Dear All,

 After following it for more then year on Internet. I can still remember the day when it was first officially launched on the  Honda web site and that day i have decided that i will buy this car. Finally I have bought this car. Till now i have clocked couple of hudred killometers and i am going to provide valuable inputs on it. 

Exterior:

I was supprised when i saw the car first time on the road, i was throughly dissapointed by its small dimensions. I mean how come its so small? that was the feeling that went through my mind after spending so many days on reasearching it on Internet. But hold your breath and read my Interior review...

From Exteriror the Style is contemporary and it goes one step ahead by placing all glass hatch at the back. Now i loved this feature and believe me many of my female collegues also felt this as a cutest part of the car. However my male friends raised concern over the safety, but be assured this glass is very thick and dont even break when shut it with hard bang. Also the Honda provides 100% guruntee on this glass door. Remember this is not fragile glass, this is very very hard.

Paint is deep and glossy, Body panels fitted tight and with consistance tolerance. The plastics and rubber used in this car is miles ahead of Figo, POLO and Punto.

The only  couple of dissapointments is choice of colors and Antena. You hardly have 5 colours to choose from and three of them are regular colors [white, black and red]. The Antena is of old style.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

You have to sit inside BRIO to feel its largeness. Its really large and engineering and ergonomics design are fabulos. Honda has done brilliant job in craving space from its users. My friend with six feet hight can easily squeez in front as well as back without any leg problem. the under thigh support on the seat is excellent and you dont have hump in the middle. so its very good in this segment. Also the plastics are of very good quality, the steering looks rich and AC vents and glove box looks cool.

If you are family of Four this is the best car. You can squeez fifth person for short distances due to arched seats.

Also you might think on boot space, but honestly you dont use boot everyday and even you use you dont require more than this.

The only disappointment is you dont have hight adujstable seats and seat belts which i feel not necessary for this car because of its ergonomic design, you will have very good visibility of the road ahead. Also the rear passenger widow buttons are of old style.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox:

The IVTEC engine delivers what it is build for. You get very good fuel economy of 14KM in City [City like Hyderabad] and 19 KM on highway. Though if you drive in ECO mode i guess you can add couple of Killometers more.

The engine performance is fabulos as it makes less noice and more user friendly. The Initial pickyp is slow and you will find this little annyoing at the signals, but once you are on second fear the car picks up the speed in no time. I can say the car is faster than swifts, POLO's and Punto's on the road.

There is small issue with the gear shift which i found in my vehicle, sometimes it is too tight to change to the first gear. May be this happend with only my car [ Need to sort that out with my dealer].

The power steering is lite and easy to maneuver but it is not accurate. so you need to be little cautious in tight situations. 

Ride Quality & Handling

Fundamentally amazing ride quality. You will glide on the roads and most of the speed breakers are easy to pass on. Though there will be small amount of body roll.

Final Words:

This is the best car in its segment.  No doubt about it. Considering fuel economy, style, interior space and ride comfort. 

Only concern is rear seat width, it is pretty comfortable for Four passengers with amazing leg room and shoulder room, but seating five people over long distance is difficult.

 Little increase in the size of the car for more boot.

Exterior Excellent design but it is soooo small. I took TD and booked for my friends.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) 0% confort.. only a couples with 2 kids can use this car, Boot space no diesel more over the paint plastic overall vehicle quality sucks. just for engine u cannot go for this car. But my friend is a bug fan for honda and he went for it. We first a uphill TD and car went like a butter. overal engine is cool esp for city with heavy traffic u can drive this vehicle easily.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Superb no doubt about honda.

Ride Quality & Handling Excellent.

Final Words Can go if u have a family of 4( hub, wife and 2 kids).

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Had no chance to experience all these aspects.

Ride Quality & Handling No ride at all. Car started generatting hell of a lot of underbody noise after 63 Km.  Had to be taken in a truck. Good fortune that I had opted for RSA. A shaft or something had to be replaced. Bought the car on 30th March. Had to be sent to workshop on 2nd April 2012. Still in workshop. This incident is good enough to infer the level of quality control at such so called reputed brands for whichi we pay as high as Rs5.70 Lakhs for a hatch. Disgusting quality.

Final Words I will never buy another Honda Product ever. One of the greatest disappointments of life. I own a Maruti 800 for 15 years. After 15 years, bought a new car and had to face the brunt of a sub standard produt from Honda.
