    DRIVING:
    Its my mate since ages

    The New Honda City has the design advantage that makes it  look more fashionable and gives a luxury feeling and the feel that the car will give the same performance even years later. With  an average of 15 mileage and 100+ bhp engine along with Honda badge of quality, the engine is smooth and gives more power on highways. The steering feels very light and does not give any road feedback . The initial pickup is less but it delivers once you are above the third gear. For costly cars the cost is mostly the engine features and City's engine is a fabulous one for the city roads.

    The driving experience is great and interior seating is comfortable for me and most of all, i like it when people are giving you a oomph coz the car is a new model. The seats look more luxurious compared to fiesta or other cars but comfort is moreover a personal matter of perspective and desire.

    Most of the reviews were comparing SX4 with a Honda City saying SX4 is a more economic car, but in  the end who would want to buy an ambassador even when it comes with Mercedes interior features. SX4 's resale market has plummeted in  my place with people saying that it gives not more than 8Kmpl in city conditions and the car doesn't have maruti's eternal beauty look, a similar case to its previous version, the baleno. The SX4 looks big from the side and back view but the front is total let down.

    Most mechanics say that the old city runs for around 10 years without any engine problems and you could expect the same here too and they do give 2 more years extended warranty free. I should say if you are gonna take a car go meet a good mechanic or you may cry later. Unlike skoda which has gained a reputation for its 25k for each service after a few years, this car looks better and is cheaper on the long run too.

    City spares are expensive compared to Maruti but you wont be affected much as the parts are good quality and until there are accident claims where insurance can cover it for you proportionately, after sales services wouldn't rip your pocket unless your dealer decides to make more money out of you.

    Addendum
    The car still gives me 19-21 on highway and 14-15 on city roads after 10k and still no hickups. But I have had ground clearance problems  mainly on  the front bumper and also when fully loaded but in the end the car is still smooth and silent and gives me the satisfaction I need driving it.
