    I had honda city model of 2009-12. The car was too specious and have too much comfort. If I would like to have a new car I will definitely upgrade to latest model of Honda City.

    I got Honda City 2009 i vtec which still provides 12-15kmpl on highway. Have good driving experience, best seats and space. Ground clearance was a major issue, my car used to hit some speed breakers and some ramps. Build quality is just decent, better than suzuki but not good as german or tata

    Honda City Type right from the moment when i saw her for the 1st time, i just fell in love with the design. From then searching her online for her pics, mods details, reviews in Youtube. I am just dreaming that one day i will a Honda City in Silver Color with i-vtec in it. I still remember those days when i saw a review in youtube from a well know youtuber called Faisal khan , He was driving a 4th Gen Honda City ahh the amount of revs he was just doing was just insane, that's where i knew the proper RAW power on wheels that machine had plus the aggressive style of the cars with the low stance and dynamics with a sporty spoiler at the back would make her a proper Race Car for the owners. And still the legendary City is one of my favorites, which i still crave for each day the specially the Silver Color one ahhh i can't even imagine how it feels when i see her. I once was lucky enough to drive a 5th Gen top the spec variant that is the ZX trim and Oh My God it just blew of my mind. First things first the amount of comfort it offered was just crazzzzy, the seats cushioning just hugs the passengers which just gives a proper support to the passengers on board. Plus the Dasboard looks amazing.

    This car single handedly uplifted the social status of countless owners when it first came out (in India) in the 90s. Dare I say the gen 1 is still such a car to look at! This car brought so much to the table in the form of the incredible VTEC and then the iVTEC engines. Honda really forced other sleepy manufacturers to make something at par with the City, in a market that was warming up to cars that weren't from Maruti udyog. I have enjoyed ownership of 3 gens on the City.

    Since i have been using it, I feel Honda City is my favorite car. The CVT engine is so smooth and ease to drive on. But I also felt that the CVT is growing old Now, I am Now exploring new options but right Now honda city is my best bet.Build quality is awesome.also the control i have when i drive is something people should study.

    Honda City, this naturally aspirated 4 cylinder engine is a beauty in this current Gen Z turbo engine vibration and confusion. I witnessed many of my close associates who were sad to scrap their car even after paying green taxes for 4-5 years, they didn't see their engine coming to bore even after 3 lakh kms and some even 4 lakh kms, even after Honda city seems fine with out any issue after 15-20 years.
