Honda Aviator Ridden Review


Honda Aviator ScooterTo be honest, I didnt quite know what to make of the Honda Aviator. It was supposed to protect Hondas massive lead in the scooter segment, but with theActiva now looking its age (although still going quite nicely, thank you) and theDio never really having taken off, you would think Honda would need something spectacularly good right?

Actually no, they would just something that would put the upstart Flyte and the dowdy-perky Access into their places. Is the Aviator that machine?

What is the Aviator, let us start from there. The Aviator is Hondas fourth scooter offering, and their third twist-go format product. Like the two that went before it, it is very much an Activa platform product, which means engine and chassis have come from the venerable, wildly successful scooter. There are minor changes. The engine was tweaked in the sense that the air cleaner and associated plumbing is slightly different. It evidently does not change peak power or torque, but gently boosts the low-end torque just the slightest little bit. Since the Aviator now sports a telescopic front fork and in the top model, a 12-inch alloy front wheel with a disc brake, there are minor changes in the headstock area, aimed at accommodating the stanchions.

Add in the body panels, and well, Bobs your uncle. The big change, styling, actually does have a purpose. Honda says the Activa is perfect compromise. It sits bang in the middle between male tastes and female and bisects traditional values and youthful looks as well. The Dio, is more male, more youthful. The Aviator, in that perspective is an all-male product, aimed at mature (30-ish) males who would like an upmarket looking scooter in their garage. In addition, we were told at the Auto Expo, to a Honda Civic. What, you think Im making this up?

The telescopic forks and the brakes are actually a subject matter of mucho laughter on my part. You see, years ago, I had the privilege of attending the local launch (Mumbai) of the Activa where a certain Japanese gentleman dismissively told me that Honda knew better. That tele-forks and disc brakes on a 7 bhp scooter were overkill. On the same scale as using a Sidewinder or HellFire instead of the horn. That Honda would NEVER add either to anything this puny, by policy anything under 100 kph top speed did not merit either. On an Activa? Pah-san.

Well, it come full circle, innit? Mr Unnamed San? Yes, this 7 bhp Honda scooter, sports both. For a premium price tag, but it does have them.

Anyway, rant over and let us return to the Aviator. Im not put off or impressed by the looks. I think the rear-end looks a bit hotch-potch, especially the flat part that sits right next to the curvy lights and panels. And I think the front looks, um, okay.

On the move, though, this is an impressive scooter. The tele-forks, praise the lord, make a huge, big, massive difference. Here, then, is a scooter that easily has the best ride quality on offer on any two-wheeler sporting sub-13-inch wheels. It does not thud through bumps like the Activa and is better than even the Flyte and Access, both of which also sport tele-forks. Braking, of course, is superb with the discs, although, as usual, I would have liked more bite. Then again, I always want more bite. In feel, the disc brake feels like an immensly powerful drum brake, which I suspect, is exactly what its supposed to feel like.

The engine, of course, is butter smooth, almost transparent in use. The Aviator, despite giving away 1 bhp or more to the newly introduced competition, does not feel slow. I rode the Access right before I got on the Aviator and while the Suzuki is definitely the faster scoot of the two, the Aviator does not feel sluggish. In traffic, there would not be much in it.

As a male scooter, the Aviator does seat you taller and I quite like the new ergonomics.

Um, what else? Oh yeah, Honda said bigger underseat storage, but I forgot to look. They claim a full face helmet will now sit under the seat in comfort. Well, I havent still tried that, but Im not buying.

Honda Aviator ScooterFinally, the base version of the Aviator (12-inch steel wheels with a drum brake) is Rs 47,200, which is Rs 5,900 more than the Activa in Mumbai. The full-options gets alloys and disc and costs a hefty Rs 4,000 more. As you can tell, that is a heck of a lot of money. The top-model, the one that does actually have useful extras, is almost as expensive as a top-line 125cc commuter.

And yet, like the 150cc-rivallingBlaze, I think the Aviator should do rather well in the market. I think the scooter market now has people who are, in fact, looking for a slightly larger, newer product with more features, and consequently (justifiably, even) have a larger price tag. Which, if you come to think of it, almost describes the Aviator. Almost? Yes, if it did actually sport a 9 bhp 125cc four-stroke engine, instead of 7 bhp 102cc job, I think it would have been perfect.

Honda Brio Automatic Review

Honda Brio Automatic is the latest arrival in the automatic segment.Honda Brio Automatic doesn’t have a huge competition.Because automatic in India is widely accepted.Big concern with the Automatic gearbox is the fuel efficiency.Automatic gearbox gives less fuel efficiency and also less performance compared to the manual gearbox.On the flip side Automatic gear box provide ease of driving.Driving in city is effortless.So can the New Brio Automatic perform better than the other small automatic cars.

Honda Brio is the best selling model for Honda.Honda hasn’t changed anything outside.Brio Automatic looks same as the Manual Brio.Only difference is the small automatic name plate in the Rear.On the inside Brio Automatic get the same materials and features from the manual Brio.Then you notice the new automatic gearbox in the place of the manual gearshift.Honda offers CVT gearbox in Thailand and other parts of the world where Brio launched.But in India Honda uses a conventional automatic gearbox with Torque converter.This gearbox is similar to the City automatic gearbox.But the Gear ratios in the brio 5 speed automatic is different compared to the city.

Honda brio uses 5 speed automatic gearbox which gives a great advantage for brio because most of the others use 4 speed automatic gearbox.Brio Automatic has seven gear positions.P,R,N and D are the regular.Honda has added D1,2 and 3.When you start driving Brio automatic it feels very smooth and easy.gentle push on the accelerator and Brio automatic feels peppy and gearbox shifts very fast.But when you want a sudden overtake or when you push the pedal to the metal.There is a small lag in the gearbox.Automatic transmission takes it own time to shift.Another great advantage with the Brio automatic gearbox is that you can hold gears using D2 and D1.Gear will not shift even the RPM meter on the red line.On an open road Brio is fast and overtaking is without a problem.Honda has given a ECO Mode indicator which tells if you are driving for fuel efficiency or enjoying.

Honda brio automatic is powered by the same 1,2 L i-VTEC engine which gives 88 bhp @ 6000 RPM and torque of 109 NM @ 4500 RPM.Honda Brio automatic gives 16.5 KMPL fuel efficiency in the ARAI testing while the manual brio gives 19.4 kmpl in ARAI testing.Brio automatic is only 2.9 kmpl  behind the manual.Which is very good.So Honda has got the balance between fuel efficiency and performance.Honda Brio Automatic is RS 60,000 more expensive than the manual brio.If you are looking for a automatic petrol hatch then you must consider brio.Can the Brio automatic bring numbers in the festival season.
