Honda All New City [2020-2023] User Reviews

I bought the 5th Gen City ZX MT in Nov 20 and have driven it since then. I have self driven the car for almost 12K Kms mostly in Kolkata. I have not taken the car to the highway so far. Till date I find the car to be suitable for the city conditions. The handling is precise and it will go where you want it to go. Although the car is pretty big but it can squeeze itself into tight spaces and you just have to point the steering to where you want to go. The engine is quite suited to the sudden acceleration and braking that is a trademark of the city drives. But the braking could have been better and there is quite an amount of brake noise when the brakes are pressed hard. My SA told me that it is due to the ABS but I doubt. Also there is quite a bit of tire noise from the wheels when driven hard. May be it will go away when the tyre profile is increased from 185 to 195. The car has a big car feel to it and looks very good specially at night with the lights on. The body seems to be a bit on the lighter side and any minor bump or scratch will definitely create a dent or peel off the paint. However, there is a certain aura to the Honda City badge and people do refer to that all the time that the person has arrived in a Honda City and people automatically assume that you are a class above the Maruti's and the Hyundai's. I feel like a celebrity when I park my car and get down from it in the parking lot. Overall I love my City and I feel proud to be the owner of one.
