Proves first impressions are the best impressions. Came to India with some brilliant cars and even an SUV. But now they are resting on past laurels and their cars, though modern, are rather pricey. Great if you want status, not so if you want substance and value.

  • Accord

    New Accord is bigger, better and a little less exciting. But oh-so-damned perfect for Indian luxury car buyers.

  • Amaze

    The car that features Honda's first diesel engine for India

  • Brio

    A complete young family hatch, comes with an aggressive price tag.

  • City

    Solid, sensible, well thought-out sedan has space, economy and quality but very little flair or excitement.

  • Civic

    A great, desirable package that gives you bragging rights. But scratch beneath the surface, and some niggles show

  • CR-V

    Suave, comfortable, handles well and has a great engine. But pricing seems to rely more on past laurels rather than current value. And don't even think abotu off-roading.

  • Jazz

    Intelligent, spacious and practical alternative to sedans - top choice for urban buyers. However, it lacks power and is quite pricey for what it offers.
