I was looking for a new car and for that i have had many options in my head but there are many factors which i had to consider before searching for new Car for me. For this i started doing the followings;
Internet : (The automotive India, Carwale, etc)
Friends : Existing Car Owners Advices,
Showroom : Went many showrooms and had test ride of having real experience
Street Watching : Started staring at many cars
Friends and the visit to the showroom were two important things that helped me in deciding my cute car "BRIO"
Primarily i did not think of the the BRIO and decided to but the Car (on the recommendation of the friends)
Maruti Swift & Ritz,
Hyundai i10 (i20 was not considered because i felt that it is little costly for me)
I never had the Brio in my option because it is just launched on Indian Road and also not having good response (As expected by Honda). Ne a day (D Day) came, when the Honda People have a whole day campaign at my office and then i decided to have Test Drive of the car. I felt good to drive and ask Honda people to come to my home so that wife also have had test ride. Along with Honda i also called Maruti dealer for the same.
So next day , we had test ride of both and still there was a confusion between Swift and Brio. Both of the cars having super refined engine and good handling. I am not concentrating more on the quality of the engine and the build, as i am having no doubt on the quality of both the Masters Auto Giants.But there are some points on which Brio Scores over Swift (Some Practical Points);
a. For me, Swift has good design ,Although little bulky and fatty, which is little more prone to scratches in city traffic. Whereas, Brio looked futuristic in style, i specially liked the rear, as it gives more visibility from rear, that is boon for the driving in Indian Condition,
b. I dont have problem with brakes of the Swift but the handling/ visibility was little uncomfortable for me and in BRIO, it seems like it great fun to drive this car. Brio can be easily driven in heavy traffic as well as having good stability on the HIghways. However, Brio is little shaky on the bad Roads (specially can be felt at back seats), but i feel, this is not an big issue as most of the Car in this segment having that problem. However, Brio at driving seat is marvelous and it felt like i am sitting in Big Sedan Car.
c. BRIO is having fresh look whereas Swift is on Indian Road since very long.
So i booked by little honda in form of Brio. My experience with Honda is also very fantastic,
Buying Experience at Honda
, . Excellent buying experince. First ribon ceremony was perfomed at Deccan Honda,, then coconut giving and some boom boom stuff. This was followed by Tilak ceremony and photographs. Honda guys then gifted us cookies box and framed photograph which was clicked just few minutes back. They have also given us Sample Tree on account of green initiative by Honda. Service engg met us and gave him card for any service issue, sales guy demostrated all the features.overall, it was wonderful experience. I negotiated on some accessories like Body cover, UV Coating ( I need not to bargain on this) and floor mats. When we left the showroom everybody in the family was more than happy and its the right decision made by us. I felt like privileged customer ( King like feeling)
