- čas přidán 19. 06. 2024
- With South Africa under national lockdown to help fight Covid-19, we had to find a way to still review cars. Luckily Ciro De Siena has a 4-story basement in his building and enough camera equipment to film on his own.
With the Cars.co.za crew staying safely at home, Ciro asks you, our lovely audience, to bear with him as he attempts to do his job on his own, in a basement.
In this video we'll take a detailed look at the segment the Honda BR-V competes in, notably against the new Suzuki Ertiga, Toyota Avanza and Toyota Rush. Ciro also takes the BR-V for a spin around the basement to get to grips with the fire-spitting engine.
All to answer to the question, is this the best family car you can buy right now?

The only person that could review a match stick and still have 100% of my attention. Well done Ciro
Since you have an empty basement we all think you should recreate scenes from F&F Tokyo Drift! Next vid?🙏
Based on your review I ended up buying this car, and it's awesome for the price
😂 😂 I love how you took the drive by shots. I overall love how honest and real you are. This is why this channel always feels like home. It's not fake or too perfect its just right I love it!
review + dry humor. thats what im here for.
You are not alone.

Dont take the effort it took to create this video for granted. Great job mate & thanks!
A basement review is the greatest reaction to any lockdown anywhere; Amazing idea;)
Well done, I always finish your reviews without skipping because of your humor
The best car review I have ever watched on CZcams😂. I can't believe you took time to take a short at that Land Rover. I enjoyed the humor than the review itself.
Cartrack: Sir your vehicle seems doing circles in the parking without going anywhere? Is everything okay? Ciro:
That is clever reviewing underground! 👍 Nice!
Would have loved to see info on the car inside. What it looks like inside, what it offers tech wise, boot space etc. None of that was discussed but otherwise enjoy the videos.
Was curious when I saw he reviewed the vehicle, only to finish the video without any info about the interior.
agreed on the interior shots. also kw and torque figures? fuel consumption figures? my pigeon pair twins are 4 months old tomorrow and I need to upgrade from my swift so actually considering this. resale value?
CIro! Love this! excellent panning shot.......😂
Since we are going to be driving in basements for a while it was a highly practical video.
Maybe add or do a separate review on the Renault triber?
Keep em comming.
Great car. Bought exactly this demo model with exact plates from honda menlyn. Simple and very practical. Economic and stylish compared to its peers. We drive it daily and have taken it lots of times on the highway. Honda does not dissappoint.
Nicely done.
You are a super star!
I thought those models are only available in South East Asia and India only. What's a surprise to see all of them in South Africa
Thank you for helping me narrow down my shopping list. Please do a Renault Triber.
Curo, I'd love you to do the I'd love you to do the 2022 BR-V. It would seem it has moved up a Segment.
Do The mitsubish Xpander!🙏
We all love you.
Hi. Does this honda have the oil {petrol} dilution problem
One man show :)
was this re-uploaded? or is it just me?
Enough for me to subscribe😂
What's up with Japanese makes and CVT?
This camera is actually good considering you did it yourself
Does it come with traction control? I think it should be standard on all new vehicles sold. Like it is in other countries.
Esp and abs yes
What year is this ?
Lol great video recording
The BR-V is a very interesting car. I was looking at it, but in Thailand it lacks important safety features. It has only 2 airbags. Your family is not protected. It has also low-tech lighting. These are my no-goes. I could live with the small engine and the special look.
Kids in the back-row are my biggest concern in case of possible impact from behind.
oh and the fart noises got me :D
How did you pull off an empty basement? I imagine a WhatsApp group was involved😂😂
Is this a reupload because I'm sure I have seen this video 🤔
Yes, it was a insert on cars.co.za show Episode 1 last week.
Woohoo
Only thing that puts me off the BRV is the wind noise of the roof rails @120km/h.
Lol I crank up the speakers 🔊
2022 brv pls 🙏🏻
Traded my beloved ‘14 Civic coupe for one of these because I’m a family man now.
BR-V Basement Review Vehicle. Alright!
I do try to give South African car reviews a chance but most of the time left disappointed. Very little is shown about the car that would aid consumers shortlisted their choices. Infotainment, space, boot space etc thats what most of us come to see when watching these reviews. Carwow, Carguide are examples of channels that do that. Would be nice to see a South African reviews.
Honda br-v has already been discontinued in India it has been here since 2016.

Couldn't just line up those sheets of paper, ey?
Enjoyed your review, but factually appalling!
1) you can’t remove the rear seats
2) short gears makes for pleasant driving in traffic, but sixth gear is still no different to fifth, 3500rpm at 120 isn’t an overdrive
3) tow bar? You cannot buy one, and can’t fit one legally for warranty or insurance sake
This vehicle excels at being a seven seater Getz, town car with great fuel consumption. It has good power, pity I can’t lug a trailer. However, road holding with crosswinds will make me sell this car, from day one I hated it as it starts floating above 100kph, and yes, I played with tyre pressures and saggy rears works best. And sound insulation, where is it? Cheap car for daily seven seater commute!
Ugh why does Honda persist with that manky lookin window line, it’s like the designer had a stroke midway drawing it
Nothing... Absolutely nothing about the car's interior, it's practicality, technology - NO THING!
I'm sorry, the review could've been better - just my opinion.
Would suggest doing a full review when out of lock-down. True it is very practical, other than that it is not worth your hard earned cash.
Poor performance on highway and in windy conditions, with a strong headwind you'll barely reach 120km/h.
Poor interior quality, cheap plastics, feels very dated.
Comes with only 2 year service plan.
Not the quality one would expect from Honda...
