    Value for Money

    PURCHASE:
    New

    DRIVING:
    Few thousand kilometers

    Exterior

     I liked the previous version also However new one has more sober but stylish front. Back view is the best. Side view is same like earlier other than side linings.

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

     Interior is where Honda beats every other car. Fully loaded, lots of features, Except 5" monitor and rear parking video and alloy wheel as not available with SV version. However true value for money. I would recommended to have rear parking sensor from Delaer as it is of good quality along with extended warranty.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

     Engine performance is very linear, you will never feel the lack of power however for petrol city lovers bit disappointing as unlike IVTEC engine, immediate surge in power is missing. May be because Engine is tuned for better efficiency. In initial 410 Km, Car is showing efficiency of 21.6 however i still need to calculate manually. (Update1 Feb 18, 2014: Total km- 1800; Econoly- 21.6 km/l). During Highway driving recently, i have achieved economy of 23.7 km/l (By autocut method). (Update 2; May 09, 2014: Total km- 3200; Econoly- 21.3 km/l). 

    Ride Quality & Handling

     Suspension are little stiff but once Car reaches >30 km/h, Ride is very smooth. Handling at corner is very good. I moved from Hatch back to City but not feeling any difference in cutting corners etc. Also not facing any problem of under scrapping at bumps (commendable work from honda Engineers)

    Final Words

     Till present, very happy with my decision. Hopes it stays as it is in Future and service cost remain in control. 

    Areas of improvement  

     Some small feaures should be provided in SV model i.e. remote trunk opener etc. There is no covering provided for trunk top from inside as it looks ugly with open spaces and wires. The reading light is provided at rear side only.

    Styling, Interior space and loaded with featuresNone for me but could be bit disappointing for people looking for sudden power surge.
