Most Helpful Review

Reliable predictable and consistent performance

I drove this car to Badrinath , Really enjoy the driving it's movability and engine is really very smooth Very good car If you drive between 60 to 70 km/h We get average 20++ AC is very effective

No Mileage

Exterior Looks good, perfectly designed no doubt about even though the back end looks a bit abrupt . Also the ground clearance very good. Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior the plastic is of really poor quality but considering the price thats expected. Altough i think they should have kept power windows for the back windows too. Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is beautifully designed responses very well but the problem I faced was the car on this version that is 1.5l TiVCT MT has no mileage the company says 16km/l but im getting an average of 9-10 km/l which is very poor.  Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is good, the turning radius is a bit too big and hinders especially on the indian roads. Final Words Good car to buy if you are willing to spend a fortune on the petrol bills or i would prefer to spend more money and go for the duster or the upcoming honda br-v. Areas of improvement MILEAGE, MILEAGE AND MILEAGE.good carpoor mileage

Honda City Long Term Report: Introduction

By Jay Shah11 May 2024

First launched in 2020, followed by a refresh in 2023 with sharper styling, additional features, and an advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) suite, the Honda City has landed a spot in our long-term fleet. Sedans are a rare breed here, so this widely popular choice piqued our interest, especially in the new ‘Obsidian Blue’ paint.

Ford Ecosport 1.5l diesel

By Ameya Dandekar06 Jan 2016

The EcoSport was launched with a lot of fanfare in 2013. More than two years down the line, it is still Ford’s mainstay in the Indian market as far as numbers are concerned. To keep things fresh, Ford has come out with a facelift version of the compact SUV and changes aren’t just skin deep. While it gets a mild facelift and additional features, Ford has also upgraded the old 1.5-litre diesel engine to the Figo spec. So now the motor makes more power than before which will definitely aid its performance.
