Honda City 4th Generation

I have chose Honda VX Cvt after reviewing, testing almost all the cars available in the sub 20 lakhs. Cost of ownership - LOW comparing other cars which will make you 1.5 mill poor.Mileage - Receiving mileage of apprx. 15 kmpl on highways, 10 on city conditions (AC ON - Always)Comfort - Most comfortable sedan in the class or May be a class higher.performance - Yes, there is rubber band effect which is common for CVT but you can overcome it by using the paddle shift in Sports mode. The paddle shift will work on the normal drive mode for quick overtakes, I prefer downshifting on paddle shifts for tight situations/ either for engine breaking or Quick overtakes.ECO Mode - Will reduce the performance of the vehicle so I only use it while on highway cruises with Cruise control.Over all Experience - Excellent.

Great family car with top notch performance.Ease of use and comfortable and spacious interiors beats any other car be it sedan, Or suv in the price range.Mileage is great for longer rides, But in cities it is average.Biggest issue with the car, Is that you can hear a lot of road noise and feel heavy thuds with metallic sounds (yeah scary ones really) on the smallest of bumps or potholes, Which is primarily due to the excessive softness of the suspension and the low profile tires, And yes this makes it difficult to ride of bad roads since the ground clearance is not adequate for indian roads.There are also a few issues with the interior fittings as you can hear a few sounds from the fittings inside the cabin.

honda city need no review as it is so good. Being Honda car, its maintenance is little costly however it has really good engine and comfort. good interiors with good music system. car has required power and stability on road. in short, except maintenance, there is nothing to complain about. Be wary of the authorized service centre as they cheat and advice many more things which may not be required. read your manual about service requirements. the service cycle is 3 months or 5000 kms and you can get it serviced in 6 months if conditions suit you. however take care and go by manual of the car. go for minor service in 3 months and bigger service in six months. so you will be able to save some amount.

Very comfortable on long drives for a heavily built person like me (5'10' and 95 kgs).Good mileage, (13 in local / noida and gurgaon, And 17-18 on highways).Once gave 18+ between delhi & chandigarh with ac.The michelin tyres lasted 7 years / 45, 000 kms and were replaced due to aging rather than wear and tear.Moderate maintenance cost.Minor performance issues faced as following : 1.Less road clearance2.Lower headroom for tall drivers.3.Ac gas top up required every two years even after seal replacement.

The car malfunctioned in very first year of purchase and had to be sent to the workshop on 02.11.2019. I have been informed that rodent entered the engine and cut some wires and that was not covered under warranty. If that is true then there is serious design defect and the vehicle is unsafe to drive. I have driven vehicles of various brands in Chandigarh during the last forty years and this kind of problem has never occurred. Even gear shifting is also quite hard in this car.
