I have purchased new Honda city 2015(V) Variant and following are the observations in first 20 days External features External looks of the car are good, But I do miss the projector head lamps(which is not available in any of the variants).
Car Key The car key comes with inbuilt remote and this time Honda is giving both keys with remote, though it does not have a trunk opening button in the remote. Rain Wipers The wipers are normal(no rain sensing) and is of average quality.
Fog lamps Fog lamps are, normal, round looking and do their task. Although, they can be made more stylish to add further value to the car. ORVM’s and rear view Camera It does have a power ORVM’s which is much needed for self drivers and also boast of a rear view Camera which is of added value as it quite useful while reversing the car and definitely helps in parking the car. I strongly recommend that whenever you take a test drive, use the reverse gear as well, which normally people don’t use, but is of importance. Tyres and Ground Clearance 15” tyres are disappointing as other competition is giving 16” alloys at a lesser cost. The car does have a good ground clearance over its predecessor and manages to get over poth holes and big speed breakers.
A 16 inch wheels would definitely be a welcome and beneficial change. Seating good comfortable seats on the front and back and comes with a beige interior. No back seat pockets, except, in top variant AC The auto AC with touch control panel which is effective and is a welcome change No single key operation It has a trunk opening pulley on the right hand side of driver and two pulley to open up the bonnet and fuel lid. There is no single key operation. Audio system It has an embedded four speaker plus four tweeter system which produces a good decent surround in the cabin but scope of further improvement cannot be ruled out considering it is priced at a lac rupees higher than its competitors. Boot Space The boot of the car is decent but do not expect it to carry whatever you want. It does have a space for luggage of one nuclear family only. Fuel Economy Fuel economy is far lower than claimed of 17.90 KMPL even on highways. Maneuverability and Power steering The maneuverability of the car along with the power steering is fantastic and you will fall in love with it
