bought this great ride on 12th december. Already fell in love with first Honda of my life. Great handling, great mileage, great looks, awesome Aircon, Superb audio.

Exterior

Simply Superb. Backlight aesome design 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Great Airconditioner, cruise control, Audio quality.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Simply zero detection gear shift in automatic, 13 in city and 18Plus on highway. More economical if cruise control is deployed. If driven between 80-100 KMPH, you are sure to get 18Plus milieage on highway. 

Ride Quality & Handling

 great ride quality, Steering is super smooth. Pickup triumphs in non eco mode. Simply amazing on signals. Driver doesnt feel the gear shift at all like in vento automatic.

Final Words

 Best in segment petrol automatic. Should go fro petrol automatic if the budget in 13 lacs. No deisel car is a substitute for Honda..

Areas of improvement  

 steering mounted controls have less functions. cannot select contacts from steering like hyundai. All features cannot be controlled from the steering wheel. 

 

Looks, Interiors, Smooth Gear shiftSteering mounted controls need more features

Exterior Once you pass that glaring band of chrome you will notice the slim almost delicate headlamps. The long slash lines on the sides make it immediately distinctive. The rear looks fantastic, with taillights that slowly intrude in the boot.They resemble the civic. The thick band of chrome in the front give you an upmarket feel. The tyres look small for this big car though. This car has better suspension than the earler model. It sits more comfortably on the ground.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The backseat is really impressive. enough leg and headroom available. You get 2 power outlets and rear ac vents. honda is trying to wow the people in the front seat too. touchsreen control for airconditioning. cd player returns after customer demand. bluetooth telephony available cheap plastics on the door panel are a let down. the lcd display looks small in its black surround. the aic control looks a bit foggy.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Slick gearbox. engine little breathless but once on 6th gear it is a comfortable ride. mileage of 18kmpl for diesel is aweswome. cvt more efficient than the manual. ride ok after passing the 40-50km/h mark.

Ride Quality & Handling Great ride. silky smooth engine. though a bit noisy. smoothy and linear electric sterring assists driving. cluth is light.

Final Words Honda city is back with a bang. 1 airbag is availablre in base variant and dual airbags above that. competitively priced to take its competition head on. more of a facelift rather than new ALTOGETHER.

Areas of improvement

1. Engie refinement.

2. Skiiny tyres.

3. Softer plastics on the door panels.

4. Bold chrome grille might not suit to all tastes.

Exterior

Looks are awesome automatic closes n open ovrm are in option compame gives manually electric foldable I like allowe wheels which give look to the car 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Features are awesome specially music system of the car bt in back there are less power of sound that's y I fitted company speckers also in back also. Without the extra speckers u can feel good bass and treble in front n u also feel 3D surround sound. There are lots of space in car n seats are very comfatable 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

I have CVT version which is come with petrol only it gives 13-14 in city n 20-22 in hiway some times it gives 11 also when u stuck in traffic😝 but it doesn't matter all around it is good in performance I give 5 stares becoz pickup of this car is very good im eco mode also. Gearbox are very good coz of CVT I can't feel of changing gears

Ride Quality & Handling

 Ride are smooth I don't feel rude road or obstacles in road bt some times car touches. Handling are very smooth I like its power steering also which is very smooth 

i read lots of review for this car bt I don't fell any smell or other problems from this car 

Areas of improvement

I purchsed my Honda city IVTEC in Aoril 2015 and drove 3500 KM on both city and highway. The car is fantastic and fun to drive. Cabin is feature rich and comfortable. Steering is precise and braking is fantastic. I got maximum Avg of 17.5 KMPL when AC is switched off and 14 KMPL when AC i switched on. Drove the car in scortchin heat and AC took long time to cool the cabin. Car is specous and my familiy did not feel tired in 12 hrs jouerny. There are ceretain downside as it lacks the power at higher gears. it was difficult to overtake long trailers on a two lane highway. Specialy when it comes to tight situations. suspension could have been better as it does not absorbs potholes verywell. Though the dials are impressive, looking at information provided on them, it make sense to have the controll moved behind steering wheel to steering wheel. in case you want to check the distance to empty while driving you really need to reach for the stick which is hiding behind the steering wheel. I also have to reach to blow the horn unlike my previous car where honking was very easy. Honda should also consider seat cooling as leather seats tend to get very hot in summer. Overall cr is a great buy and I am enjoying every KM i drive.

Style, handling, features, breaks, comfort, spacepick up, horn,

Exterior: Good

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort): No comfort, it jumps on every speed breaker & every pit on the road which shakes your body & neck. Seems shockers are extremely poor. My car is 2 months old & i am extremely frustrated

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox: Horrible, understand what it means by 26km/litre. Honda commit 1500rpm @60km constant speed. Else it is not going beyond 17 & you may also get 14 km/litre. You feel cheated

 

Ride Quality & Handling: Ride experience extremely painful & i prefer my Accent over this horrible drive. I personally don't recommend if you looking for Ride quality

 

Final Words: NO NO. Don't buy else you will repent. Two keys reasons: ZERO comfort inspite i placed extra cushions & padding. Mileage is damm poor nothing more than 15km/litre for city ride

 

Areas of improvement: No point of buying as its no value for money. Even Honda representative had no explaination inspite running check on mileage

Good looksWorst comfort, work mileage (completely fake)

Exterior

 Good Look

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Interiors in SV give a feeling of cheap plastic when compared with Skoda and Verna in similar range. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Gearbox is too hard. Bluetooth mic doesn't work and showroom says you need to speak at the top of your voice for the other person to hear your voice. 

Ride Quality & Handling

Pick up is not as good. For example,  If the speed reduces to 40KMPH in traffic and you are running in 5th or even 4thgear, car will not pickup until you bring down the gear to 3rd. I did not realise it in test drive and pickup seem OK but realised it while driving in daily traffic conditions.

Final Words

I have bought the SV model just 20 days back and realised these issue. Mainly the bluetooth mic located in the stereo body due to which your voice is not clear and too low for the hearing party.  When i spoke with dealer i got to know that the test drive was given in V, where the mic is in roof. The dealer changed the stereo twice and now its been changed by the sterio vendor but problem remains the same. Its a basic feature which doesn't work and Honda doesn't take responsibility of improper information and poor qaulity even when multiple issue have been raised since 2014. 

Areas of improvement  

 Many

 

space, exteriorsEngine sound, Bluetooth mic, interior plastic body, hard gear box

Exterior - Looks are great!

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) - Very low quality plastic used everywhere, Dashboard, mirros and everythnig makes unwanted noises. Parts start falling apart even small impacts.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox - Very bad, Pick up in Auto version is very bad - seems like you are driving a scooter 

Ride Quality & Handling - Bad, as everything makes unwanted noises. it is as bad as old fiat, hearing noises everywhere, parts crumpling.

Final Words - will not receommend anyone to buy - worst car from Honda ever. They have compromised so much on the quality that this has become worse than a Tata car. I was a loyal Honda user (as had old city as well) but after this car will never buy Honda again.

Areas of improvement   - Almost everything, quality of parts is a big improvement area. Car cannot bear even small impacts and parts start falling apart. Offroading not at all possible. plastic quality needs serious relook.

Exterior Very good you can enjoy the music when pass on sped breaker.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Nice.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Very good 7-8 Km in one lit.

Ride Quality & Handling Workshop executive always behind you for service of car, good follow up every three month.

Final Words Very good car, keep in garage  and watch every day, very good service executives. always educate for all  mentioned problem and excuses in  new car and also get education from dealer how  to over react the problem and transfer problem to  customer. If you dont check the bill, executive over bill. if find some tihing wrong then eductae us as excuse. As a exmple, charge for grease, oil, paper, waste, oil, cleaning agent + all maint charges/ service charges + consumable some time double of billing.

Areas of improvement Ground clearance very less , design Indian road conditions, water clogging on road, Engine performane to increase avarage, noise level in  car very  high  pitch almost 80- 85 db.

very poor servive, and honda gives you a very long lead time to repire , relex daysKeep the car in shad and enjoy the looks
