This car has very good maintenance

This car has very good maintenance, good comfort also good service I have also purchased it as a very good car for a small family looks very nice. This car is perfect for me this car has great value for the money.

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

Perfect car for an Indian family

Writing this review after driving for 30,000 + km, out of which drove more than 17,000 km on highways, and being able to drive consistently at speeds of 110-120kmph on highways. Never had any problem with the mechanism of the vehicle. From a seating perspective: can easily fit in 2 adults in the last row, if it's children then 3 comfortably. Renault's cost of servicing is a little on the higher side, Overall the experience has been great.
