Honda City [2014-2017] User Reviews

Exterior

Stunning Looks.... Impress every one !!

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Best Interiors.  Quality of interiors matches the Honda Class...

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

It gives 18 when driven on higways with full summer AC on and 21 when driven on highways with pleasant wheather and moderate AC use...  City Use with full AC, it gives 9-12, depends on the congestion, stopping and braking... It may be noted that I am using the top variant Automatic Petrol Car... VX CVT

Ride Quality & Handling

Ride quality is quite immpressive with good pickup even when driven on eco-on mode... Paddel 

Final Words

A Great Car with perfect Value for Money !!  Value for moeny in terms of Brand, quality, performace and re-sale value !!

Areas of improvement  

Options to program Central Locking should be given with more user friendly options...  All locks does open on the single attempt to unlock the car !! I would be great if two option be given 1) open driver door 2) other doors !!

 

Smooth Drive, Fuel Economy, Best Style in its ClassLow Ground Clearance, Not very intelligent Central Locking System in India

Exterior

 The car has got a stylish look and i personally love my silver alabaster vx cvt with the alloys and sun roof, the bumpers are not so effective, i had 2 incidents wherein the impact on front bumper was very mild but still it came off and i found that the plastic is very weak as all the locks came off in one go. The tyres are bit undersized for this car

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) 

 The top end lacks several imp features like park assist, sat nav, dvd playback, glove box cooling, seat belt hight adjuster, otherwise the car gives a premium feel and the upholstery and dash looks amazing

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 best engine for this price, cvt makes driving very smooth and pleasurable, however fuel eco is bad, giving 8-9 km/L in delhi with ac and normal driving conditions

Ride Quality & Handling

 handling is good, no complaints, ride quality lack as the road can be felt in the cabin, even small potholes shakes you inside, 

Final Words

 With all the above pros and cons, i think its still the best in this range however honda should consider these little upgrades and tweeks

Areas of improvement  

 

 all mentioned above

Exterior & Interior premium feel, paddle Shift for that x-tra thrust, ample rear seat space, rear acLow Fuel Economy- 8-9KM/L, bumpy ride due to soft shockers, rattling noise, weak bumpers

Exterior The Vehicle was very well finished and it was pleasing to the eye. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The finishing was superb with ample space and leg roon both in the front and rear. The climate control does now work well- other than that the AC was very effective and there was no engine noise or vibrations in the interior.  Very comfortable in city roads.  However the leather seats were hard and uncomfortable for long/Highway driving 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The Engine is very smooth and noiseless. a Pleasure to drive with a very responsive acceleration even when the vehicle is new and is currently in the running in period.  The first 200 kms of running in the city retuned a mileage of 6.5 KM/Ltr of petrol.  The next 400 kms of Highway driving returned a Mileage of 15 KM/Ltr and the last 400 kms of Highway and (very small part) city driving returned a mileage of 10.5 km/Ltr.

Ride Quality & Handling Compared to the European cars, the ride quality and handling is not comparable. The European cars are much better.

Final Word The dealership (Sundaram Honda) needs massive lessons on Ethics.  Their Sales Rep speak in two different languages, Pre and Post sale.  They deliberately hide facts or make false promises and then renege on the same once the sale is made.  Very very dissapointed with both the service and sales.  Their Service Dept does not answer the phone and when questioned they unhesitatingly say that due to heavy work load we do not answer our Phones/Mobiles!!!

Service itself and is decent, unlike most other Brands

Areas of improvement Pre sale- their representative does not explain the features of the car well. Had not been told as to how. The boot could be opened without swithing off the engine. How the AC could be make to run colder. The operation of the Eco and the Sports mode etc

Overall experience with the dealership was very very dissapointing considering we paid much more for the vehicle when compared to the offer for the same vehicle from a different dealership, solely based on the reputation of Sundaram Motors.

Good Finish and Leg Space both in Front and backVery Poor Music System and Very very hard Seats

Exterior Looks simply classy and premium and has a terrific poise too.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very very spacious and premium interiors and packed with most of the latest gadgets and eletronics.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox the engine seems underpowered and feels wanting of power when attempting overtakes...fuel economy is a meagre 12 kmpl in city and gearbox is does its job nothing more nothing less.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality sucks bigtime, has absolutely no road stability and suspension is very noisy and doesnt feel solid at all.

Final Words Overall a good looking though wobbly horse with not much sprinting abilities but lots of stamina as will keep going on and on  for years to come. Absoutely suited only for city (pun intended).

Areas of improvement Being an owner of 5 cars presently. Mercedes Benz C class, Toyota Altis, Suzuki Baleno, Maruti Esteem and as of Feb 2016 the Honda City all self driven as am a Master of Driving and a hardcore car lover. The Honda City is a good looking car with a decent fuel economy fit for commuting in the City only at under 90 kmph. Any high speeds and the car is all over the place being very tall and having pathetic tyre size ie. 175/65/15. My recomendation A Definite Buy for City Driving. Cheers everybody and happy motoring.

looks premium & classy,is a very spacious car and packed with featuresTerrible road holding,and pratically no stability...

It has one of the best ride quality. Ivtec engine is one of the best in its class. But the build quality of the car could have been better. The car is safe, it has all the safety features as well, but in all the exterior build feels very light. But even after that the engine give the livelines.

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

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

Areas of improvement  

 the ground clearance is not suitable in kerala.in my car the water is not get in to the engine comaprtment and its too much problem but in big humbs it will got problem.

 

i like my car.because its looking and comfort and performance.ground clearance

Exterior Although looks are a subject of one's personal choice, I fing this car very appealing and upmarket (although for some the EXTRA CHROME GRILL on front may seem to be overkill). Personally, I like the design of the car.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Excellent seats, Brilliant Audio system, lot of space even for rear passengers. The ICE system is one of the best in its class.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I have done 3 trips exceeding 2200 Kms. CVT has been performing like a dream. I drive at speeds of 80-90 Kmph. With D mode, ECO mode and Cruise control ON with speeds at 80-90 Kmph, I have got the mileage ranging from 19.0 to 21.5 Kmpl on highways (While at JRR at Hyderabad I saw the mileage to be 22.1 Kmpl). In city traffic the mileage has been around 10.5 to 11.5Kmpl.

CVT is very very compfortable in bumper to bumper traffic.

Ride Quality & Handling Very stable and smooth even during cornering at high speeds.

Final Words Bought in October 2015and have already driven around 11000 Km. Just one word for it - AWESOME.

Areas of improvement NIL.

Excellent performance. Awesome mileageNIL
