Honda Brio Review: Freshly Brewed
This car changed the perception of people towards Honda. The Japanese major, which has always been a premium car maker, was never a household name in India to begin with and as such never featured on the budget car buyer's list.
Bigger things have been replaced by smaller ones in many aspects of life. Even in automobiles, the small car market which has been mushrooming very aggressively has caught attention of all the players.
Honda Jazz was the lowest priced car among the brief Honda range but then it still was not a crowd puller and was sold in average numbers. This had compelled the normally adamant car maker to launch a smaller car, which would endorse the same premium standards of its other cars but then would be more accessible for all.
The Honda Brio is now the entry level Honda car. Coming from the stable where quality is of prime importance, it entered the brewing battle of small cars raising the quality standards and lowering the access point.
Brio intends to break the mindset of all about the Honda brand; we review the S (O) MT variant to find more about the small offering.

Excellent city car, best suited to buyers having less than 50 km drive daily. Fun to drive and good drive positioning. Good in car music system, No sengine sound or outside noise within the cabin. Though illuminated OVRM buttons and bluetooth missing. Nice packaged car. In crux, VFM city car.

Well u might be right in ur way Mr.T,, But if u r travelling 4 people+1 kid out for a week end and two mid size bags and small handbag, u will fit one midsize bad and a handbag in ur dear brio's boot and second bag either courier to ur destination or carry it "apne sir par" and travel.

well after spending 5 lacks for a car u r not going to travel with ur house in the car boot.If go outdoors, every hotel provides beds & other utilities required so why do u need so much boot space which increase the weight of a car & leads to petrol wastage.Brio is best car in the market go for it.

A very practical valid point about the boot space,I have opted out of this car even it had a very decent TD and a IVTEC engine, due to the impractical boot and no leg room in the rear seats.A more ridiculously stupid part i saw that of the honda dealers here in Ahmedabad was they put two mid to small size empty passenger bags and push them to the fullest in the boot and bang the rear glass boot door over them and push to the fullest over the empty bags to shut the boot, just to fool the buyer that their dearest brio has a big boot.

Well , the new diesel Brio may be designed to have a more convenient luggage boot, to make it a complete car. With poor leg space in the rear seat and practically no luggage space it certainly isn't crowd puller, inspite of competitive pricing.
