    PURCHASE:
    New

    DRIVING:
    Few hundred kilometers

    Exterior - Looks of new city is very good, so many people complemented my car " its looking great"

     

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) - Features like cruise control, touch auto A/c, stearing controls, rear A/C vents and speadometre are good but i didnt like the music player as in the the version I took there is no CD player instead they only gave a USB and AUX with bluetooth but no CD player.

    Space- one of the main truimph card for this new city is space, huge rear leg room and three adult can seat comfy at rear and the ambience of the car adds up with its rich feel.

    Comfort - Very good seats and legroom, I love driving a lot but in this new city my fav place is at the rear, its just like some good SOFA, very comfortable car but the ride quality spoils some of its great comforts.

     

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox-  every review is complaining there is lot of engine noise audible inside the cabin but I dont agree, In new city I heard very less noise for a D- engine. Fuel economy is g8t I got arround 23 to 24  on Highway and overall I got around 21 KMPL. Gearbox is good I cant complain

     

    Ride Quality & Handling- The major drawback lies here, previous city has a problem of hiting its bottom to spead breakers, to rectify it honda installed a stiff suspension and the problem of bottom hitting got reduced but due to that stiff suspension  there is a lot of vertical push on bad roads and little push on highways, due to this the whole rich fealing of the car is going away. So, I say comfort is great inside on good roads but on bad roads I got little bit of Back ace. 

     

    Final Words - To rectify the problem of cars bottom thudding over bumps and speed breaker Honda created a new issue I.e spoiling the ride quality, Im happy that my car bottom hits the road rather I get a back ace due to its stiff suspension. If honda offers any soft suspension I will replace it with its current suspension. Apart from this issue every other aspect is a GOLD. I love my New Honda City

     

    Areas of improvement - suspension and ride quality 

     

     

    Exteriors, interiors,space, seating, cruise control dails, touch auto A/C etc..stiff suspension, lack of CD player,
