I purchased New Honda City 1.5 EXi in May 2005 .Has run it for 7000+ kms.
Overall I am happy with the performance and mileage but still I personally think that in this price Honda must have taken care of certain things.
Ground Clearance which is low and I have problems at times crossing Street speed breakers.
Head lights- I am not at all satisfied by the intensity of the lights.
Front side panel which obstructs the vision.Honda engineers should have designed it better.
Faulty fuel guage : Gives wrong reading.You drive 100 kms it won’t dip much but as soon as you restart the engine it gives the true reading.
5 Brakes are not very good.
Otherwise the car is very good.Excellent interiors and dashboard, I found it better than toyota.Effortless driving.It gives an average of 15 kms which is pretty good.Excellent boot space.Its value for money.
