New City 2012 is a Queen

Exterior This is proven fact that this is the best looking car in this segment.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Lack of few features which its competition has like, vanity mirror does not have illuminated light. Visibility for rear objects from mirror is poor. But once you get used to, you can judge it. Tires offered is XM1 (Michelin) this series is outdated for a more than a year now.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox This is phenomenal. Performance of the Engine is immaculate. This car forces you to go for Long Drives. You don’t feel tired neither does Car. Car has feature to calculate average as you drive. This makes things easy for Indian driver like me. I constantly keep fiddling with this speedometer to know how I am driving. This not only fetch you good mileage but also pressurizes you be polite with throttle. 

Within city it gives me close to 10kmpl (Mumbai traffic condition) But when on highway you can extract as much as 20kmpl if driven in ideal conditions. Otherwise also it is not given lesser than 18-19kmpl.

Ride Quality & Handling Superb!!! I am not talking about Skoda Superb. But the experience you get is marvelous. This car gives you better feeling while driving than its competitions Vento, Rapid or even Linea. I have driven this car for around 6000kms in 4 months just to take her to places and have pleasure of driving. People talk about its low ground clearance. I have never experienced it. In fact I was waiting for this to happen for last 6 months and was prepared to face it. I have also checked with dealer about the probable damage if it hits bump. Phewwwww But still waiting that to happen. Power of 118 BHP is amazing. This is the best in this segment with Rapid with 105 BHP and Linea 90 BHP.

Final Words This is perfect car if love car driving and want your family to enjoy with you. They say it is not value for money but I refuse to believe. You pay little premium to get good service/food even at hotels. It’s worth spending on this car. I have also driven Cruz, Corolla and Civic. But City will give as nice feeling as these cars.

Areas of improvement Well I don’t know how you improve the Perfection. Still I will say if I can see better rear vision from mirror while parking. May be few features can be added like rear AC vents, Climate control etc.

Good Ride on Highways, Great mileage, Solid PowerNo illuminated Vanity Mirror, Small glove box, Head Rest needs more bending.
