Hello Ajay sir,
Many thanks for your wishes. Happy to hear you haven't faced any issues till date.Me and my close friend both used Brio and both suffered from knee problems. The later being 5'10" tall.
I do felt at some point of time that Honda being such a big automotive company cannot make a car which is just suitable for short drivers. But for me and my friend the car was not comfortable.
Hope you enjoy your hatch and wish you happy miles ahead!!!
Regards

Get well soon buddy. Even I am a 6' tall and owns the beauty for 2 years and completed 17k till date and never faced any issues even on continuous long drives(400+). Brio seats low and most of us having a habit of seating upright and since Brio doesn't offer proper neck rest leads to discomfort position of body.

The trick is just relax move driver seat little back and let your legs stretched and forget about whether you are able to view the car bonnet or not and keep safe distance maintained. This worked for me

My choice going for brio was the leg space it offers at the back seat which provides me extra space to look for my perfect posture in the driver seat
Brio has spoiled me little as I look for same comfort in our i20 & friend's Rapid which suited more to an upright positions.

Anyways, best of luck for your next hunt and serve you better.

Cheers!!!

Here's my small modification.
Since this thread is about Brio E/EX entry level variants, many owners might be struggling to roll up/down the passenger side window when travelling solo, IMHO.
Honda has shown evident cost cutting measure here by just providing single power window switch on the driver's side., so here a driver cannot control passenger side window from his side.
Here's what i have done as a part of solution.
Apology for average quality pictures snapped from cell phone.
I hope this will help Brio E/EX MT owners on TAI.

We drove almost 1-1.5 km near the service center, but that sound didn't come. So they suggested me to check this in next service.

Regarding the scratches on the car, I got it repainted using the Zero dep insurance. Total cost for painting 2 doors was 11k, after insurance my share was 1.3k

Thanks,
Kiran

The common dashboard rattle sound is actually from the heat shield of catalytic converter . I have resolved this issue.

When you open the bonnet you will see the the heat shield behind the engine, below the firewall, just put your arm down there and bend the shield slightly away from the firewall.

You will never hear the rattle again!
