I own this scooter and it has never let me down in any terms. The activa gives a sturdy feel and a solid ride on Indian roads.
Yes It is very reliable, a bit on the heavier side though, but then it is very robust.it has fuel economy of somewhere around 46 which is quite fine. Hondas scooters and bikes never create back problem when riding too.i would recommend this scooter instead of its peers.
