Still they asking for few days as per them due to feative season rto is overloaded here for new registrations.

Yeaterday only i wired them the whole amount except balance payment of rs.50k+extra for bumper to bumper insurance which i pay at the time of delivery.

welcome to TAI rikku :)

a) Honda is aware of the perception people have wrt maintenance cost. As a result that has introduced a Honda Care Maintenance Package (HCMP) for about 9.9k for 2 years where everything with respect to service is covered. This includes oil change etc so you do not have to pay extra for anything. so now you have 2 years warranty + 2 years extended warranty ( paid option or you can bargain it as freebees) + this new HCMP for 2 yrs or 40k kms whichever occur first. In short you are not paying for anything for 2 years.

b) These accessories would be better off if bargained in your deal itself. Honda is desperate to clear its old inventories and you can get a killer deal if you buy the non electronic ORVM S model.

c) I have driven a figo before, diesel one to be precise and hated the looks and the car lacked punch. Resale value of american cars is a major turn off. In petrol i doubt any hatch in this segment can match the futuristik looks + vtec engine of Honda.
Thnx Nitin. Cleared my doubts. Though the regular servicing cost would be less than this Honda care pack, I would prefer to go with the HCMP at the time of purchase. It does not pinch you that much. 4.50 or 4.60 same difficulty in arranging the funds. For me paying 2000 every 3/6 months is a headache. Also you never know if the service centre acts smart. they may charge u for something not routine. Better be safe.
Thanks

Almost all the hatchbacks in India come with a McPherson strut front suspension set up (coil spring and shock absorber combined strut assembly) and at the rear you mainly have a simple multi-link set up with coil springs. Only the Tata Nano has a different set-up owing to its rear-engine design. Most of the hatchbacks are quite light and hence there is some degree of bounciness at the rear.

However, the hatchback that offers the best ride quality is most probably the Honda Brio, as it has a design which maximizes passenger comfort with wheels placed wide and at the corners, a suspension that’s stiff enough for sporty handling, and plush enough not to throw its occupants about. The Brio is closely followed by Maruti’s Wagon R that also does a decent job of cushioning passengers.

lol, the wait must be killing u guys.
Absolutely right. Happend to me also, but different case. Even though I have my car readily available for delivery, was not able to take the delivery as there are no days suited my star (parents order). I have visited the showroom atleast 5 times in that time.

Yesterday i had a chat with the Honda SA here, and they were saying, they are in shortage of some colors. And also he was saying that, they are inquiring about the what color with the customer before booking?[surprise]

Is this because that Honda recently started exporting BRIOS to SA?

exports should be a major reason but not the only reason.
also they are making changes in their portfolio by including a new model EX MT and also S has got some changes. Further with the launch of AT, their focus would have shifted to this as well.

in short it seems all rosy for Honda currently with waiting lists and all and this is what most manufacturers ( in any sector) dream off.

As I paid almost whole amount, SA promised that deal will not change.They are saying that the delivery date is not known because the shortage of red colour. Are you getting same deal?
