    PURCHASE:
    New

    DRIVING:
    Few thousand kilometers

     

    Exterior Front is better than the bulgy rear.Its ArrowHead design is great only in front.

     

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good interiors but the dash looks boring.Paddleshift is in luxury cars but when you turn AT City,fingers will knock the paddleshift.The safety is great but even at 10Lakhs,you do not get climate control(the smaller Maruti Swift Dzire ZXi gets it),CD player(smaller cars get it) and the MP3 Player only plays iPods and Aux-in and also USB-Ports.Better space and excellent boot space in 506 litres(The bigger Chevy Cruze and Altis have smaller boots).Comfort is good.

     

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The 116 Bhp engine is better than the Linea T-JET and VW Vento,the most responsive cars.Fuel economy is better than Vento and Linea.The AT gearbox is great.

     

    Ride Quality & Handling Ride is good but the suspension gets clunky at high speeds and SX4 is better.Handling is good.

     

    Final Words If honda can improve rear and price,it is better than linea and cruze and also vw vento.Vento is better and linea has more stylish rear than anhc(all new honda city).But the paddleshift works good and looks sporty,but when you turn the automatic honda city,your fingers knock the paddleshift.Audio controls on city top model and are better than hyundai verna and vw vento but the fiat linea gets on both sides audio controls.City is segment leader and is better than sx4 but smaller than optra magnum and cedia sports.Mitsubishi cedia is a better car.

     

    Areas of improvement This horrible rear and the price.Also the feature list.

     

    Attractive front looks,performance,safety and great paddleshiftAwkward rear looks,price is not good
