I did test drive of both car honda city Zx iDSi and SX4 ZXI model. I was almost about to book city but SX4 Features held me back and put me in second thought. To be frank this is my first review. I am planning buy mid range car. so I took test drive of both cars. But at the end still confuse you be’coz there are pros ans cons in each car. I tried to add some remedies so that customer gets best car.Engine:SX4: It is powerful engine. it simply zooms. fun to drive.
I dont have any complaints about the performance of engine. but I felt engine noise is more. if I have to compare engine noise with City ZX it is too high. Even I felt that gears too hard not. Does any body felt same..!Honda City : The engine is too silent, we wont notice that is on.
Difinately it scores over SX4. Gear change is like a feather touch. but it lacks that power punch.Interior:SX4: Though it looks beige but finishing and sophastication is required. CITY : Too goodExterior:Both are good but SX4 has slight edge. becuase its high ground clearance and masculine look.Feature:SX4 : Features which makes SX4 to attracts you. No doubt that is away ahead in compared to City.
Good ground clearance
Solid looks
Dual Air bags
ABS
EBD
Controls on steering.
Alloys wheels.
CITY ZX : You get Alloy wheel on VTEC but it 1 lack costlier. it highly refined and finishing and sophasitcation is too good to miss it.. But honda has to thing those features now.. Else make people to definitely look at SX4.Overall feel : (of course it is mine) Honda City engine is smooth, so silent, fuel efficient, good interior still make it to compete but I think not long.. See already I have developed affinity towards SX4. So honda has to make note of this...!!
SX4 : Loaded with many features and suitable for Indian buppy road conditions: It lack sophistication. I think maruti has to make noise insulation reduce engine noise and remedy for smooth gear change. Some more attention is required for interior and tight fitting can make this car best in this class.
