Honda Brio 1.2 i-VTEC MT: Why this should be your next PROJECT CAR! | AutoCulture

[@NocturnalTheWeeknd]

I'm driving it every day to my work. I go for long rides with my friends in it. I make those wheels rotate like hell, and the beautiful sound it makes whenever I hit the RPM..! Man, Trust me I am having lots of fun with my 2012 BRIO i-Vtec MT. It's been 10 years since we had it with us. Even today, It has the same performance, same braking ability, and literally ZERO problems. This thing is something else. I am not selling this car.

It was our first and has been our only car, love how it can move and slice through traffic better than autos & tempos, without thrashing the car. Totally a baller car to be someone's first.

This and the Honda jazz too..highly underrated, not only here but outside too..even Mugen has a body kit and performance parts for it, and it's been in Spoon too..also the L series engines are compatible, and the L15A has the classic VTEC..but this is for the older gen (2010 one)..the new ones do have a lot of JDM aftermarket support

[@Flavv23]

I think even the mobilio makes a sick project car, sure being an mpv doesn’t give it the most desired silhouette, but from mpv standards it looks really good, has the same interior as the brio so these good points carried, a lot more spacious, can fit a lot of stuff and a few more people inside when needed, same engine as the city, so it’s like a bigger brio ready with the engine swap, plus super super fun to drive, great feedback, really responsive and it somehow grips; Would be a sick minivan or wagon kinda build, basic tune, turbo, slightly lowered with some sick looking 17 inch wheels, would be cool.

[@DahakaMatthew]

We have the Brio automatic (the new shape one 2017 onwards) and the Jazz CVT (the paddleshifter one). Both are very hassle free vehicles. The Brio is sharp, clean, and crisp and a lovely city hatchback. Only problem is the 8 kmpl fuel efficiency in city running. Nothing over 11 on the highway. Tiny fuel tank too. 27 litres I think. The Jazz is very very underpowered and highway drives can be very slow and taxing. Comfortable car though. I also had the 2003 1.5 Honda City with a raceconcepts intake and exhaust swap etc. Lots of fun. Sold it for a BMW 320i. I love all these cars :)

[@jayapreethvasisthamj5970]

Perhaps FE has something to do with your driving style and of course how you plan the drive. I have been driving a manual one since 7 years and not once has the FE dropped below 11 in Pune City and daily commute in stop-go traffic and on highways, depending on roads and speeds, I have always got been between 17 and 22kmpl.

[@DahakaMatthew]

@@jayapreethvasisthamj5970 yes the automatic one comes with a torque convertor which is well known for single digit FE.

[@abhinavviswanadh5591]

I drive a manual jazz and it does feel uneasy during in gear accelerations but never felt it is underpowered on highways it pulls great past 2000 rpm, maybe the cvt is the reason in your case

[@UdayKumar-td8to]

Let me tell you one thing from a "Bonestock" 5 year experience of the BRIO. Very Very poor Kmpl return. I used to get 7kmpl in the city. Hoon it and you'll get a 5er! But that said, it Revs like a true Honda! And as well took whatever i threw at it. few PROs and CONs: PROs: 1. Kerbweight & Wheelbase 2. Very good A/C Blower. Will knock you away even at single speed! 2. Good storage areas 3. Very good maneuverability 4. Short gear throws 5. Extremely light streering wheel (For city) and picks up good weight over high speeds 6. Very good L12B NA Engine, lasts longer as well. CONs: 1. The car tends to float at speeds over 110kmph 2. Poor Build quality (Both Interior and Exterior) 2. Bad Resale value 3. Poor Fuel efficiency (Didn't go over 10kmpl on highways despite light foot) 4. Lacks Features 5. Expensive maintenance 6. Lacks boot space 7. Decent comfort but poor under thigh support

[@achyutkeshinisudan4942]

Should I buy this or city in a 5L budget?

[@prashantdwivedi]

You should get it checked for the FE thing. I own and drive a Honda Brio (heavy-footed, always) for the last 7 years now and have never received FE less than 10, worst being 9... Highway economies I have seen as high as 19.8 (with AC on, ECON light active, speeds ranging between 80 to 110, occasional 120s) On Highways with AC off in winters, I have witnessed 21kmpl too (same speeds as mentioned above)...

[@KiranKumar-rt1yt]

I have a 2012 Brio manual, I get 18 kmpl on highways with AC on, 13-14 kmpl in city...Get it checked for FE, like spark plugs, cylinder misfiring, throttle body cleaning etc.,

[@chandrakirann5390]

Never got that single digit FE on my brio, I always calculate Tank to Tank method and the least i got is 12.6 when i was cruising at 140+ speeds😅

[@abhijitkundu1879]

Well I guess by looking at the structure and ergonomics and the mannerism which the car behaves is very nimble to drive while manuevering on highway and yes it is well sorted and mix and match between city and highway .
