Honda City [2014-2017] User Reviews

Exterior Do I need to explain anything on this??? Everybody knows its complete aerodynamic shape makes it more attractive and beautiful car available in market. The features which I like the most is rear end of car and shark fin antenna...takes the car to upper level.  Addition to this I would like mention here is that this is the first car which has got engine under body tray. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors are excellent. The moment you get into the car you will feel the quality difference of dashboar plastics, door trim, seats, every this is made up of top quality material. Talking more about the features the blue multi informational display is very good and provide sufficient required information at all time. The feature which delights me a lot is touch screen automatic climate control system.

Space and Comfort:- Ha Ha Ha second row seat is place where actually you should be. Sufficient leg room and head room. just pull down the arm-rest and enjoy the ride in very relaxed mode.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Hmmmm... Here comes bit of disappointment. I found acceleration is the area where car is lacking behind (I am talking about only diesel engine car only) otherwise everything is just perfect. Smooth diesel engine. Very good fuel economy. I am getting 21-22 Kmpl in city and on highway its 23-24 kmpl (these values are from MID) Gearbox is smooth and easy to shift the gears.

Ride Quality & Handling NVH levels are reduced significantly as compared to Amaze. But yes you will get the feel always that under the hood there is diesel engine is there. Improved GC makes the car to cross the speed bakers with ease. Suspension is very good. At low speed or even at high speeds the car just glides over the pot-holes.

Handling: - it’s just perfect. Smooth and light steering gives you much more confidence on higher speeds as well, even above 100 kmph.

Final Words If you are looking for smooth, steady drive with comfort then go for SV Diesel and if you want to have some fun on highways then don’t you dare to look at diesel version because petrol. It’s simply the best. 

Areas of improvement Basic feature like 'Map light' should be provided for all variants.

Exterior Very Sharp Headlamps , Nice taillamps , Chrome Grille and sunroof their is everything in this car what you think of.

Interior (Features, Space & comfort) Man its superb premium feel Rear ac vents , advanced center console , Speedometer And 1 Thing I love the most space and comfort Verna is no where in competition with honda City.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Nice braking system , vehicle stability , no vibration feul economy is just awesome 23 kmpl man its the thing that you want in every vehicle of c segment.

Ride Quality & Handling Driven 3000 km with this car and it makes you feel like a king its smooth, stabe handling.

Final Words I dont want to say anything about this car its simply awesome hyundai, VW, skoda, Fiat Be aware because this car is the king of c segment and everything is on the top of the level in this car.

Areas of improvement No Improvements Needed.

I like it over all, except for the engine noise inside the cabin, makes you feel you are driving a maruti type of vehicle. sunroof and interior space is too good for this type of a vehcile, infact the rear seats spacing is as close to an accord. white has been my favourite, It looks pretty good compared to the previous version of honda and the tail lamps looks different and unique like the european ones. the dashboard would have been a little better. diesel makes is more efficient. I am not able to feel the initial turbo like in rapid.

comes with advanced features including an automatic air conditioner unit with touchscreen control panel, cruise control system, electrically foldable and adjustable external wing mirrors.

onda has played it safe and probably didn’t want to take a risk with another extreme design in today’s tough market. It’s clear then that the company has focussed on pleasing the masses rather than sticking to the petrol-headedness that enthusiasts love it fo

sixteen years and three generations later, Honda has finally given in to the country’s demand for a diesel engine. It’s also packed this latest iteration with a tonne of features – something we Indians love. The diesel City may have missed the sweet spot when it comes to timing, but it definitely beats not turning up at all. So how good is the new ‘consumer-oriented’ City? We thoroughly tested both, the petrol and the diesel manuals, to see if it sets new benchmarks yet again. 

 I selected sail sedan LT ABS but when I went to show room they sales person didn’t show any interest in showing us their cars so we just left and went to ford where despite show room was closed they showed us the cars and ready to give test drive. We finalised for ford classic (Petrol in first week of Feb 2014 but waited for budget on 17th feb 2014 when prices were reduced by 15000 thousand. After some thought and working for all discounts I went for diesel for budget of 700000/- (LXI) . One day I saw New City 2014 and we checked the demo and all my family okeyed for this all new city . then I finalised for this model and finnaly booked in first week of march 2014. As the city has some waiting so we decided to get this on 2nd May but we got delivery on 6th may dues to transportation problem due to Lok sabha Elelction 2014.

Exterior Though design is fresh and attractive, build quality is horrible. Metal used is very thin and the joints to connect various exterior parts are very weak. Zero marks from my side on exterior build quality. Honda, you need to stop COST CUTTING in this department, please realize there are cars by other brands in same price range with much superior build quality and almost same engine performance. Wake up!

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Not much complaints on Interiors as of now ! Though plastic used seems to be of inferior quality and that there is very intense smell from dashboard which I am not sure as to when I will get rid of!

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is the USP of Honda and if engine performance is one of the major criteria for you, its a good deal !

Ride Quality & Handling Good and comfortable as its a new car. Suspension could have been a bit better, after all, Honda supension system was once reputed due to its solidity which now does not appear to be the case. Tyres used are very skinny which is due to two reasons- cost cutting and to get ARAI mileage certifications. But here Honda is compromising with safety of Indian customers. Stock tyres supplied are mostly Goodyear or MRF, and Goodyear tyres are famous for all bad reasons and tyre bursts. If you buy a car, please upgrade your tyres to either Michelin or Bridgestone as dealers would give you a good price for old tyres. After all, its all about safety and everyone wants to be safe as there is no second chance in life !! Surprisingly, the tyres Honda fits on the exported cars are broader and of suprerior quality, because due to strict local safety laws in those countries Honda cannot sell crap and cheap products there!!

Final Words If your preference is only engine performance and exterior looks, then go for it. If you also want good build quality and quality interiors, sorry its NOT a car made for you !!

Areas of improvement Again, Exterior build quality, tyres, dashboard plastic.

Exterior Very Stylish and Eye Candy, Easily Grabs one attention at 1st look. Supported with Fingerprint sensor make it coolest car.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Great Comfort at rear seat with good fabrics, all meters are surrounded by blue light which looks sporty and rocking. Dashboard is good with Start/Stop button  and Coloured Display in top model.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Smooth Gear Shifting, Honda has done work on Honda City, though engine make sound from outside or when the doors is open but Very less noise or no noise as compared to Honda Amaze.

Ride Quality & Handling Good.

Final Words Value for money car with Great looks. Appreciable Rear Parking Sensors. Excellent sunroof. Nice aerodynamic shape, very sport look. Sporty and rocking Dashboard. Doors Equipped with fingerprint Scanner.

Areas of improvement Hood of car is too high which makes driver and co driver visibilty to make more effort to see on road. More Ground clearence should be there with 15" tyres.
