Compromised on Quality with Cheap Cost Cutting

Honda Exteriors are good and as equalent to the product sold elsewhere in the world. However this is an area where cost cutting can be least as it would be of good visiility.

As for the Interior space in concerned it is also equivalent to the product sold elsewhere as there is a little compromise that can be made here. However the features been provided such as bending of back door seats to fit in more luggage and extendable head rest which is available in the same car sold else where , option of black fabric seats and lack sound proffing for petrol versions, neatly covered trunk are all missing and seems the company has taken quality for granted for the indian market of the reputation earned for earlier version. 

Fuel Economy though a matter of concern for Indian Market Honda should not have compromised engine performance for it especially when comes to mid size sedans where people who can afford these cars prefers most often to drive in long high ways or while traveling to different states. Most people would prefer to arrive sooner to their destination than driving slowly with best fuel economy. Gearbox offered by other car manufactures looks eligent when compared to the recent city and automatic versions which is becoming a popular trend are priced extremely high for Honda for fuel economy.

Ride Quality & Handling has not improved from previous version however in todays car market with the progress of technology this is debatable as many manufatures offers better stearing such as Electronic which is much smoother in long runs 

As for the final words Honda City is a good car however with more importance given on fuel economy over engine performance tripled cheap cost cutting and less importance to quality would it last longer ?

Areas of improvement: Quality needs to imporved, Cheap Cost Cutting for Indian makes is a concern as hatch backs these days have much better packaged interiors and trunk fully covered.

Simple rule of thumb, Mid Size Sedans are usually bought by different range of customers and so expectations are also higher to that of Hatchbacks currently in market.
