Re: New Honda Brio SMT - Ownership Review

Hello everyone. I just received the delivery of my E.Blue Honda Brio VMT on the 6th of September.

Car: Honda Brio VMT, Color: Electric Blue
On Road Price: 5,54,545
Car Dealership: Solitaire Honda Andheri
Car Registration: Navi Mumbai
Discounts: 1) 35k Cash 2) Free Insurance
Freebies Offered:
1) Teflon (They just apply a single coat and dont give any invoice regarding the same. According to me it is pretty useless. The other day I was at 3M looking at sunfilms. I found a single use car wax sachet. It was for Rs.50. The salesman told me that this is what the car dealers do when they offer this. Try bargaining for a warranty card and invoice for the same, I didnt get any)
2) Floor Mats (Boot not included) I got third party floor mats. Try bargaining for original Honda Rubber mats. The offer the best of both worlds (not slippery like plastic and water proof and easy to clean unlike the carpet mats)
3) Body Cover (Again third party)
4) Side Mirror Locks.

Add ons pruchased:
1) Zero Dep Insurance: Rs.3400 over the normal insurance cost.
2) Extended warranty (2+2 years): Rs. 4900

Hello everyone.

I just received the delivery of my E.Blue Honda Brio VMT today

Car: Honda Brio VMT, Color: Electric Blue
On Road Price: 5,83,000
Car Dealership: Sundaram Honda, Chennai
Discounts: 1) 10k Cash 2) Free Insurance




Freebies Offered:
1) Teflon coating
2) Floor Mats
3) Body Cover
4) Pu Seat cover(Need to pay 2000 as the dealer offered only fabric as a freebie)- This will be done sometime next week as they do not have in stock right now.

Add ons pruchased:
1) Body coloured Side, Front and Rear protector
2)Chrome Door handle protectors.

Date of booking: November 12th 2012
Date of Delivery: November 23rd 2012

Month of Manufacture: June 2012 - This is where I felt like cheated, before booking asked for the month of manufacture and was told this vehicle was lifted on October 12th only and should probably be manufactured by August or September 2012.

But after invoicing found that it was June 2012,(I had blindly believed the SA as I had taken a Honda City VAT from the same dealer last year and did not get the VIN details before to verify, my mistake [frustration].).

I did not go to take the delivery and sent my father alone more of a self punishment :stupid:.

Freebies/Offer prevailing at the time of booking/delivery:BASIC ACSESSARYS
Name of the Dealer: DEEDI AUTOMOBILES Ltd.
Dealership Experience: GOOD
On Road price: 499999

GOOD CHOICE BECAUSE

1. ITS THE CHEAPEST OF DISEL CARS AVAILABLE
2. THE ENGINE IS FROM FIAT(3,000,00km )
3. GOOD DESIGN
4. SPACIOUS COMPARED TO OTHER SMALL CARS
5. MOREOVER THERE IS A SERVICE PACKAGE AVAILABLE FOR 20000K FOR 45000kmS INCLUDING ALL CONSUMABLES, A BRAKE PAD AND A CLUTCH REPLACEMENT TOO
6. MILEAGE THAN ANY CAR

DRAWBACKS

1. THE POWER STEERING WONT CUT OFF ON HIGH SPEEDS...NOT SAFE FOR LEARNERS
2. RESALE VERY LOW
