I got the car on Sunday and have drive about 130Kms in the last 2 days. I am updating this review now. I have done about 500kms and the car gave me an average of 13.5kms/ltr. this was completely in the city with the AC on. While the initial investment is high, I feel it’s worth it. Honda cars have always had excellent re-sale value. The interiors may not be the best in quality, but I really don’t care. The car comes with ABS and Airbags as default.
Pros:
-Fantastic engine response
The engine is very responsive..and powerful. You will enjoy driving it. Very smooth gear shift.
-Excellent fuel efficiency with a very powerful AC.
So far I have driven about 150kms in the city with AC and it has delivered 12kmpl.
-Very comfortable.
The seats are positioned very well and offers excellent comfort. Great driving position with height adjustable driver seats and tilt able steering. The colour combination inside the car gives you a pleasant feel.
The car handles very well, the suspension is slightly hard, ..yes it’s a driver’s car J, however, Honda has taken care of the rear passengers comfort also.
-Good music system:
Good sound quality and the audio controls on the steering is very helpful.
-generous boot space
-Super looks and great styling
Cons:
-the controls on the steering should have been positioned on the right side.
-Ground clearance:
Honda could have increased the ground clearance since the wheel base is more than the old city, this would have helped.
-Arm rest:
The arm rest should have been longer. Currently this is more of an elbow rest than an arm rest. :)
Overall: If you want a car, that’s reliable, powerful, and fuel efficient, offering good resale value, go for this car.
