A very good mid level sedan.

Exterior

Now quite improved. Curves and groovs give it a sporty look, Higher back looks like BMW design. Thogh LED back light is missing but over all a very good exterior and much better than earlier version.   

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Honda Funda of "Less machine and more man" is visible and a lot of leg space for fron and rear seat is availabel. Seat is comfertable. 3 adult person can sit easily at rear seat during long drive. Rear AC vent give more comfort to rear passenger. Bluetooth connectivity, 12 v DC out put, aux and stearing mounted music controls are very good featuers. 

Cruse control, Economy mode display, distance to empty, average fuel consumption in km/ltr improve your riding quality. 

less cabin noise as compaired to verna. Very good stearing control.  

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

1.5 liter engine give good power and performance as desired by user. Gear box is good and light. Fuel economy..................Excellent!!!!. Though i have drove only 600 km my SV MT diesel model new honda city but it superprised me to show average of 25.4 km /ltr. (My office is appx 25 KM away and mixed traffic condition is being faced by me. 15 Km patch is high way without any signal and traffic) 

Ride Quality & Handling

Initialy i was warried that how do I handle a car of 4.45 mtr length in small road of colony and in parking lot, but now without any doubt i can say handling is very good. Turning radious is also less. Quality of ride is good however Indian roads reminds you to not to forget to give feedback to Honda and others that ground clearance is less. Suspension is also not great, verna and Woxvagon are better. 

Feinal Words

Honda cliked little bit late with Diesel engine as diesel prices are keep on increasing and gave room to other competetor to eat the pi. Hyundai, Woxvagaon, Skoda, Fiat and up to some extent Renault take honda market share. (I was planning Verna or Dustor but test drive of Honda changed everything)

Never the less new City with diesel engine worth a lot and got and edge over the competetor with excellent fuel economy and featuers.   

Areas of improvement   

Ground clearance needs to improve or Honda should take initiative to improve the road quality of India. Gear Lock position is very awkward, Co- driver seat to be moved for locking or unlocking of gear lock.
