I love the car

Hi, to begin with, city was not our first choice. My wife had booked jazz. due to flood in thiland didn't get delivery, after waiting for 4 months honda dealer called in to return money.(this is the time we started loving honda deal. without fiz or any pressure for buying their vehicle). We tried verna, vento and linea. finally she settled for city. Few basic reaons. Common sense, is what this car has in abundance. the moment you stepped in, everything is well alligned. every button is where you expect it to be. Very well kept audio control and clean clutter free instrument cluster. I love the way they have setup climate control and information display. We tried verna and vento. frankly speaking, you need a masters in computer science to operate their systems. Coming to drivability. its a thing that a car should do well and the city does it exceptionally well. The way they have positioned the steering and windshield, its pretty obvious japanes obsession for detailing is present. clear un-hindered view, front side roll bar obstruct minimum view. this thing I realised only after i drove other cars. coming down to noise level in cabin. very quite. minimum beeps and tinkers. doors. closing only of the doors will give you a proxy about a well built quality of the car. i dont understand much about what lies under the hood but how big is the trunk is of my interest. rest assured its comparable to any car of the segment. 

Probably I live the car because me and my wife are obsessed with honda badge. or probably its the value for our money that we cheerish so much. 

I agree this car doesnt have what many other cars of this segment offers, such as elaborate multimedia center, bluetooth connectivity, automatic climate control, retractable side mirrors, 17 inch alloy. these are few things missing in my car. it up to the user to decide how much value he/she should attach to these things.

To me, I dont care if i am missing out thses things. Because Honda City does well what a car should do well and that is to make your journey pleasent, hassle free and absolute confident. 

P.s.: she has bought autogear car. its so much fun driving through thick traffic of Bangalore. and yes, auto gear means, while you are dricing through BETL road, you can sip through your coffee and show side indicators without leaving steering wheel.

I love the car. If you are considering Verna or Vento petrol versions, try the city with age old straight lines , always looking fresh. 

The only car I liked in the segment other than city is Linea. 

Hope this review helps.
