The car for execs

This is undoubtedly the car for the corporate executive. Stylish, reliable, performance oriented, though a tad expensive to run when fuel prices cross Rs 53 per litre - but then again, if the company is paying for the fuel bill, why not!?

If there was a sedan that came close to perfection, this one would be it. Stemming from the unparalleled build quality, this car's runaway success comes as much from the product itself as from its brand image. In fact, I can't think of any other car in the market today that can rival, or come close to rivalling, the build quality of the City.

Interiors and space are well laid out for comfort, be it a trip to the office, or a longer run out of town with the family. The car is built to perform, and besides filling the tank and driving, there is not much that the owner needs to do. My friends who own Citys, however, say that though the service quality is great at their service stations, the relatively small size of the service network makes it a bit of a task to get an appointment for service - more like an appointment with a city-wide famous doctor than a service station. On the other hand, they are quick to point out that there is barely any perceptible change in performance of the car even if you have to forego the service for want of time, and know for sure that the car will not let you down if you put off the trip to the service station by a few weeks, or even months.

There is not much to say about the drive of the City... since that is something to be experienced first hand. Be it the daily commute, or the highway trip on the weekend or a longer trip on vacation, the city does the thing that it does best... pleases. A true driver's car, city owners sure would find it difficult to hire chauffers, cause despite enjoying the comforts of the back seat, they know where the real quotient of fun lies in the car!

If honda were to add to the already-immense popularity of the car, it might consider the availability of the car in alternative fuel variants such as CNG or LPG. That would make the car way easier to run during this cash-strapped tough economic times for companies and execs alike, and am sure would speed up the offtake of inventory from their stock yards, if there is any there that is.

This is one sedan that you have got to have in your stable.
