    Honda Brio V MT road test: City slicker

    The Honda Brio is a car that draws mixed emotions – some like the quirky looks, some not so much. We for one think it’s quite fresh and stands out in the crowd. For a car that looks small, the Brio surprisingly packs in plenty of interior cabin space for the occupants. That, combined with the peppy, yet frugal, 1.2 litre engine are what make the Brio stand out as a great urban car for daily dr
