Final Words

I have been owning this car for last 1 year and have driven more than 8000 kms, mainly in city and for long drive on weekends. The car performance in city as well as on highways is good. On Highways, it is amazing. The comfort it gives on highways is matchable to any luxury car, like BMWs.

I have been getting mileage of 12-14 in city, depending on traffic and driving. Hyderabad traffic is bad but not so bad as bangalore. so not too much waiting time on trafficlights. Considering an avergae waiting time as 2 mts, the mileage is decent. I travel for around 20 kms everyday (going and coming back from office), so the distances are not very long, and gear shifts are more. What is best about this car is the comfort feeling it provides to the driver, the suspensions are very smooth, tunes to indian potholes. Unless you are driving very rash, there are no heavy jerks to be felt even on bad roads.

The audio player  provides options of FM, aux and USB. No CD player. That hurts a bit, but its also good not to carry many CDs every time you drive. So, i have copied my stuff in a USB. Audio quality is superb. No complaints there. FM quality is also good. AUX I have not uused much as the 3G connection does not seem to be consistent.

Till now, happy with the car performance and the service provided by Honda. Initially I had a problem that car was not picking up well in 2nd gear. Service people checked and suggested that I need to bring the car in 1st gear when on a bumper or going uphill. With that the problem was solved but I was not happy. Next service also I complained the same. After that service, they have some the tuning, and the problem is completely resolved now. Not sure if it is due to tuning or I have got adjusted to the car. But, with time, it seems to be getting better and am enjoying the drives more than before.
