Excellent Design Unmatched quality

I have bought Honda city (VMT) Sep11, Drove 8000km. This includes long trip Mumbai to Dwarka, Okha, Sasan Gir and Belgaum.

Exterior Good Styling. Mirror should be provided with turn indicators. Smoked alloy wheels shall enhance the exterior styling.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Ample of rear sitting space, powerful AC. Seats are very comformtable, with full support to back. The Music system is very well placed. Only need volume upto to level 5 or 6 (Max is 25) to hear clear sound. Tweeters place in door give excellent sound effect. The overall ambience inside is very good.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Excellent performance, you can switch to 5th gear when the speedometer click 50km./hr. This is due to better torque. The engine very compact 1499cc for a power of 116hp as compared other manufacturers. When you drive in 1st gear, need to be careful as suddenly the engine rpm drops below 1000 rpm, but you never know the engine is still on. Thanks to the ivtec technology. I have received fuel economy of 14.4kmpl for long drive. City driving is apprx 12-13kmpl. On trip meter a range display appears 0-20-40 indicating fuel being consumed. Owner can use this as guide to increase fuel economy, try to be in the range near to 20. Gear change is smooth.

Ride Quality & Handling The suspension are hard and can tough roads easily. Cornering is well handled. The car quite stable. I driven max speed 157Km/hr. The car can be controlled without any hassale.

Final Words Overall very good car as compared to other models. Reliability of Honda is very high. I would suggest this car.

Areas of improvement This is a city car. Ground clearance is one the areas for improvement, you never know when your car will touch down.
