Nice pricing

Honda City ivtec

Very nice car with very less maintence required. Mileage is superb even after 10 years my car gives 18kmpl on highway driving and 15 kmpl in city driving conditions. Looks of the car is stunning. Honda is using same engine even after 10 years that shows how good is this ivtec engine. Pros: 1. High power and mileage 2. Fuel tank under driver and copassenger seats which results in efficient space utilization 3. High boot space of 510 litres 4. Low maintenace cost 5. Stunning looks Cons: 1. Seat belt is loose compared to what is required 2. Horn has very low sound 3. Headlight gives less visibilty during night driving
