Before purchasing the all new Honday City (automatic), I had a chance to test drive many others - like, Honda Civic, Toyota Altis, Maruti SX4 etc. I looked at many reviews where people mentioned that SX4 is a better choice because it comes 'fully loaded'. To me SX4 looked too FAT and bulky - didn't have the sporty look. It also didn't have the auto-transmission option. Civic was a bit old - I was told that Civic will have a newer version shortly. Altis was good but the dearler's workshop was far from my house. I finally chose Honda City. It has an extremely good look and had an exceptional low noise engine with a performance of 118 PS. I had a Ford Fusion which had 101 PS with 16 litre engine. But then, I separately purchased alloy wheels and many other accessories to make my Honda City a 'fully loaded' version - barring the air-conditioner which is not a ACC. But who cares? The air conditioner is very powerful. I also noticed that the road grip at higher speed is much more improved than the earlier version of Honda City which felt a bit light while turning. Overall, a must buy and should not be compared to SX4.Fuel Economy, Looks, Road Grip, PowerBasic accessories
