Honda City [2011-2014] User Reviews

Exterior Exterior is truly imposing, even after being in existence for over five years. Urban Titanium color is like a chameleon. Looks the true color in day light, appears silver in twilight, changes biege in darkness.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) For a top variant, absence of leather seats and automatic climate control are disappointing. Back seat comfort is best in class. The otherwise good driver comfort gets compromised because of bad A pillar angles and restricted access to clutch (because of a bulge in body strucutre near clutch pedal), 500 litres of bootspace is ample for long drives.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Gem of an engine. Do not feel any lag in any gear. Overtaking is breeze. Managed maximum mileage of 21 KMPL on highway drive without A/C. Average mileage of 11-14 KMPL in city driving conditions. Gear shift could had been more smoother.

Ride Quality & Handling Steering is very responsive and adjusts the toughness to speed of drive. Suspensions are too stiff for city driving comfort, however, gives stability on highway. Braking is on target and confidence infusing.

While ground clearance has been improved in a manner managing to clear speed breakers with upto 3 passengers, takes a hit when the vehicle is fully loaded.

Final Words Chose to buy City after a tough assessment vis a vis Verna. Main reason being the discounts offered on City (being phased out end of this year), which made the price lower than Verna for a comparable variant. Overall, happy with the car.

Areas of improvement Need to have more features, atleast in the top variant. Honda engineers can explore the option of improving A pillar angle, ground clearance, moving from skinny to broader tyres in the new version planned for launch in 2014.

I bought a Honda City (MH 12 KE 2206) from Crystal Honda Viman Nagar Pune in Aug'13. Extremely poor service experience. all 3 times.

1. I was clearly told that I'll have car pick up and drop facility for the service. At the time of my 1st. service, I was asked to bring the car for service myself (the garage is some 30-40 km. from my place), wait for it to be serviced and then bring it back. I was provided a car pick up only upon escalating (the driver suddenly became available).

In another instance, where a friend of mine had bought a Honda City, he actually chose to physically go to the service centre, as he was not sure if they are actually servicing the car at all !

2. During the 2nd. service, a Balaji idol I'd placed in the car, vanished. Its been 4 months now and the issue has not been resolved. I've got calls from different 'key account managers' at different times.

3. I did not get any call for the 3rd. service at the 6th. month. If this is how it is going to be, God save Honda!

Exterior Very good, classy, sportive look. It has a sharpy front and it shows the way Honda works on it.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very roomy, very good in class, so descent, all placd in the right place, the seats are well designed to fit anyone.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The engine performance is more a better one, the automatic gear box is such a good one very reponsing, the fuel economy is very poor as given the mileage i gt in city almost not above 8 and obviously for highway i don find it above 13 do pls suggest me some is the real mileage.

Ride Quality & Handling Awesome ride getting adddicted to the car.

Final Words Nice car bt one who buy tis wud b obviously above mid size family the mileage it gives almost sucks the blood of the guy wen the petrol gts drain. 

Areas of improvement Fuel economy is to be improved.

Good style, its so comfort, a midsize luxury one, the stability is great and powerful engineVery poor mileage, ground clearance a little low, the music system could have a cd player.

This car is just awesome! The best you could buy in the segment in the year 2011. Offers you all the luxury you'd expect from a car of this segment. Engine is powerful and responsive, pickup is really good. Fuel efficiency couldve been better. The interior quality is a little downgrade. Seat comfort and features are ahead of it's time.
