| Honda Brio Driving Experience |
I had planned to go for a long drive in Honda Brio last weekend, was bit skeptical due to rains but finally I could go out in my friend’s Brio. That was first time I drove Honda Brio. We hit the Hyderabad – Bangalore highway via Nehru ORR. As always it was fun driving on Hyderabad -Bangalore Highway.
Honda Brio did pretty well on highway curves and breaking system control was pretty good. Steering is small, gives a feel that you are driving a small car, of course, gear shifts are pretty smooth and precise, and clutch is easily manageable on highways and city as well. Honda Vtrim offers Steering mounted controls, USB and AUX inputs for stereo, power windows, fog lamps, alloy wheels’ and electric rear view mirrors. Air conditioning is ok for driver and front passenger bit not that effective to rear passengers and it is a serious point to think if we are planning to go out in hot summer. View of the world is awesome through its extra large wind shield at the same time world can see and enjoy the luggage you are carrying in the boot.
When we were filling the boot for a moment I thought this 175 litre boot space is not for a weekend trip. Brio proved its mettle in Bangalore city and it was perfect for city driving, on high ways it was up to the mark with fast-sedans. There is eco-indicator it glows green when engine is at most efficient point as long as that green light glows you are doing your share towards green-environment. Over all driving experience is good and comfortable. Best part is mileage it has given 15 kmpl. I am very happy with this (Mileage) aspect of the car.
