Worth waiting for New City, instead Verna & sunny

Exterior

Side groves help to looks bigger then outgoing design, thanks to 'H' design concept

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Minimum machine maximum man, Honda proved it again, rear leg room is like sunny. Currently I am facing from lumber spine injury, however does not feel when I seat in side.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox.

Engine performance and fuel economy is at par with my earlier City CVT (Dolphin 2004), currently getting 10-11 (Thane to Bhoiwada,Parel) and 13-14 (Thane-BKC, thanks to SCLR) kmpl in city traffic, hoping to get more after couple of services and 18 plus on highways.

I have seen in many reviews, others are getting lower mileage, guess they are new to CVT technology. As I use to get 10 to 11 in city traffic and 18 on highways with my 10 yrs (1 lac km driven) old car.

Gear box doesn’t feel smooth like my earlier city. Hoping to become free after some days.

Ride Quality & Handling

Engine performance is very good, however little jerks when driving on 'Econ' mode with full load (5 persons), otherwise its ok. Not got an opportunity to go for long drive, hence could not drived in 'S' mode with paddle shift.

Final Words

Infect I was almost done about Verna and then Sunny in Dec-13, however just thought to look about new Honda city, which was launched on Jan-14 and then decided to wait till Apr for petrol. And now regrets, as wait was really worth.  

Being disabled person, got this car under 'Excise exemption for Physical Handicap person' scheme and saved almost 1.5 lac. Thanks to Mr Wallance of Hallmark Honda, Thane and Mr Amod and Mr Raju Ranjan of Honda Cars for their continues support and co-operation.  

Areas of improvement  

Nevigation system should have been placed in VX variant for this price bracket, as I cannot put after market Nav till warranty.
