Disadvantages of Honda Airwave 2010:

Manufacturing of Honda Airwave has been stopped and you can only get the used car. Many people do not like to buy the used and old model when many new and latest cars are available in the market with the latest and advanced features. One of the major issues noticed in Airwave is its average suspension. The drive becomes unsteady on moving through bumpy surfaces and speed breakers. It does not provide the latest infotainment system with old technology. There are no cup holders, no place for placing any tissue box or something, no automatic headlamp, and no telescopic steering wheel. It has old-fashioned door handles and the design is also a bit old. The spare parts of Airwave are available at high prices in Pakistan which makes the maintenance value a bit high. In the end, the resale value of Airwave is average and people think twice before purchasing it keeping in mind the resale value.
