Smaller Auto(matic)

 

Exterior The older City ZX has a good front but the front looks like an Altis. The rear is better than new City iVTEC 2008.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors are good but flimsy as well. The features list like Paddle Shifts,Automatic,Beige Seats,CD Player with Aux-in port,Fog lamps and Alloys are good. But could do with USB Port,Leather Seats,Adjustable rear Headrests,Parking Sensors and Auto AC with Climate Control. The space is better than Fiesta,SX4,Aveo and Accent but it can never beat the new Etios. The comfort is good but can never rival Etios again.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The VTEC engine has 100 PS which is almost 16 PS less than new City iVTEC. But no compromise as used option is VTEC. The FE is not best but fine. The Automatic gearbox can never be limited by SX4,Verna,Vento.

 

Ride Quality & Handling The ride is good but stiff suspension means stiff low speed ride and sluggish downshift. Road and wind noise also filters in cabin. But handling is a class act.

 

Final Words The City ZX VTEC is good. The car has a good ride,look,space and comfort and gearshift.

 

Areas of improvement Low engine speed punch,Resale due its discontinued.
