Agree with Prince here - Wego seems to be a better VFM scooter in the present market.

From Honda the only change I can suggest is Pleasure, any other scooter will be a degrade(in terms of reliability, engine refinement). Test drove Wego last month, the engine refinement is nowhere close to Honda.

Thanks for all advices...my wife test driven rodeo and she liked it. so we have bought white color rodeo. it is light weight than Dio and good riding experience in roads.

today is the first day and we drove scooter around 65 kilometer and we like Front Fueling , Telescopic Suspension , Mobile charger, Light under the seat and light weight. My wife is 5 feet only and she can handle rodeo better than Dio

Great choice.... Contrary to perception, Mahindra-Sym scooters are pretty refined. The Rodeo in White is the best looking scooter IMO. Congrats on your purchase. But do make sure you get it serviced only at an authorized A.S.S. not too many mechanics around are not familiar with these things.

TD Wego and u both will change idea about Rodeo, Wego is miles ahead compared to Rodeo. Vehicle is slim-trim, petite, very easy to control in traffic. Your wife will love it no matter if choice is already made among.

I've one since last 11 months and clocked 4k, still I think its very recent that we'd purchased it. No tensions, no gimmicks, no screw-loosening, nothing... Just the usual service as per manual and its always feel like touchwood the day it returns from servicing...

Sorry for the OT.. Vipin, please stop going over the board with Honda.. we all know they are refined & reliable, but there are other scooters like Suzuki Access which are even better. Ride them to get an idea. Honda is not the only one offering scooters. The engines used in Mahindra line up of scooters (made by Sym) are the most dominant ones in South Asia (excluding India of course).
