I own a Honda City Gxi - 2005 Jan model. I have done about 60K - most of it by me and some by my wife now. When I bought this, I was not sure about the looks and of all things the short nose(bonnet). On top of it people did scare me that at 77Bbhp - this car is underpowered. But when I started using the car, my perception changed completely and I fell in love. The car does feel little underpowered -when fully loaded - but only if you try picking her up in 2nd gear at low rpm. Don’t do that. Use 1st gear generously when you come to almost standstill. At high speeds - the car behaves very well - with its streamlined design. The car has great stability(even at 140kmph) - but surely you can do with some extra thick rubber and Alloys to enhance the look(I have now one size up Michelin with Alloys).
The car is great and my wife loves it too. My daughter loves it too. And not to forget the extra generouse boot space(500 litres plus).
I would defintely recommend this car - now a secnd hand - since this model is no longer produced.
