City
Summary
The Honda City is highly regarded for its spacious and comfortable interior, smooth driving experience, and fuel efficiency. Users appreciate its elegant design and advanced features, making it a favored choice for families and commuters. However, some concerns include low ground clearance, which can cause scraping on speed bumps, and a dated interior design with limited under-thigh support in the rear seats.

    I am big fan of Naturally aspirated engines. I think Honda city petrol 120 bhp is still the best car to own in India. Love to revv the IVtec till 6000 rpm.

    Honda City is my favorite. It has evolved through times and design. It is not fancy as modern sedans like Slavia. But is a budget sedan which gives a no fuss ownership experience, kudos to Honda reliability.

    It has to be Honda City. The reason I love this car is its ivtec engine. I like how it likes to be revved, but can calm down when needed to be driven sanely. Apart from that, the tight handling and the looks make it my favourite car.

    Honda City. It's been my dream car and a car that has stood its time. The City always have been an dependable, long lasting. I also love the way this sedan looks and feels to drive. Being the proud owner of the latest generation of City, I feel I was right in every thought process I had about this car.

    Meri Honda City ki kahani thodi alag hi hai, matlab gaadi ek taraf aur emotions ek taraf… papa ne jab pehli baar City ghar laayi thi toh literally neighbours balcony se dekh rahe the jaise koi baraat aa gayi ho, aur main andar baitha feel kar raha tha ki bas abhi gaadi upar se wings nikal legi aur Chandrayaan se race lagayegi 😂 long drives pe City ka comfort aisa tha ki aadhe raste mein neend aa jaati thi aur phir bhi destination par full fresh utarte the, dost bolte the ki bhai teri City ke andar koi secret spa chal raha hai kya, aur sach kahu toh uss gaadi ne humein sirf jagah nahi dikhayi, usne family ke saath hansi-mazaak, ladayi, late night ice cream trips sab carry kiya… ab chaahe naye models aa jayein but jo asli maza aur filmy hero wali vibe Honda City mein thi, wo duplicate ban hi nahi sakti. 2nd gen thi hamare paas. automaton.autos@gmail.com

    Engine is the one which I would rank above all specifications and it has amazing brakes and is a stable car. Head lights could be much better and I wish the suspension were bit stiffer. Its a beautifully crafted machine.

    Had a Honda city 2011. Sold it and got Honda city 2021. Great pick up, good comfort. Just had issue with ground clearance and mileage. Both our cities were automatic. Only had issue that the new city’s interior weren’t as modern looking as new Hyundais. Great cars overall.

    The experience has been good and if you are looking for performance, this is a good car in budget. However, if you are wanting a great mileage, then probably stay away from it.

    THE ONLY CON OF HONDA CITY OR THE NEW ELEVATE IS THE INSULATION OF THE CABIN THE CVT NOISE COMES INSIDE THE CABIN AT HIGHER SPEEDS THE MOST RELIABLE AFTER TOYOTA IS HONDA
