After a lot of detailed analysis, comparison of both features and new technology offered in the new breed of cars, I decided to buy the HC Zx VTEC in Jan 2006. I have clocked 6500 KMS till date.
I have been driving this car for over 9 months now and have driven it on long distance on 2 occasions. I drive with my AC on almost always and it returns about 13+ in city traffic of Bangalore and about 15+ on highways at 80 KMPH and above.
The engine races when you accelerate and the top speed I have driven this car is at 145 KMPH, but ofcourse for only a few seconds to check out the engine.
The cabin noise is brilliant as it is almost like you donot hear the outside world and comfort wise it is simply superb.
The audio system from Alpine is simply brilliant.
I would recommend this car to those who would like to get the best out of a car both in terms of performance and fuel effeciency
