The care is good style wise and space wise.Cost is higher as compared to its rivals. Rivals are little cramped to it but citys ride quality is too bad at low speeds due to its hard suspension.Even small bumps could be felt. Even other low segment cars like corsa, Alto etc are better as compared to Honda city in this matter.Honda must address this issue with the customers who bought the 10 th Anniversary models. I have just bought it but now I dont recomment my friends to go for city.Probably this is due to need to compensate for its small ground clearance , they have made the suspension too hard. In other words the car rests on the suspension and does not float on it.

The reviewer's facts about the suspension is blatantly wrong and completely untrue... The City ZX's suspension is one of the smoothest and softest ones i have ever come across (Imho a little too soft actually) I cannot beleive that the reviewer said that the suspension is too hard !! (But ofc the fact that the City's suspension being so soft and the ground clearance a lil low is the reason why it hits the bumps) If it had a really hard suspension i dont think it would hit bumps !!

I agree that the ground clearance is a big problem. I have purchased the all new honda city in April 2009 and I have been facing the same probnlem while I have also been driving the Optra Chevrolet but the latter is absolutely perfrect in ground clearance and suspension issues ...

This o ground clearance problem is typically Honda Branded . I have driven accord(aerodynamic one), civic and city. They all had this problem.
