I bought Brio last week. After extensive research, I took this decision. I needed a city car and my daily drive is less than 40 kms. Brio is a compact car, well suited to city driving conditions. One can easily deceived by its small looks but a really spacious one where five persons can sit comfortably, without keeping their shoulders on each other. The front styling is done like a sports car and side one do support the same theme. Alloys and bumper black-colored theme suits well. The rear side is unique one though sometimes one can feel familiar to chevorlet beat. The rear is real decisive factor, you like or you don’t like. The interior is of good quality plastic, which we don’t find in small hatch back cars in India. Music system is good, with no CD player, that fine and futuristic.
On steering controls are good to have, dual horn is just buzzing. Instrument panel is again designed like sports car and has rpm, fuel, abs, seat belt, hand brake and lots of indicators. The most interesting one is ECO mode, which enables you to have max mileage. Though the rear washer, wiper and defogger is missing, but I have it in my zen and I rarely use it, even in monsoon. The drive is excellent, just like silk and responsive steering even on high speeds.the aircon works well during day when Surya is at full beam. The seat belts are so light and feel these are not attached to body. Gear shift is fine till you press clutch paddle fully. Last but not the least Honda brand and its services.
In all, excellent city car with good looks, mileage and Honda service back up. In short VFM.
