Final Words - I brought Honda City SMT in January 2012 and so far it is excellent for driving pleasure and makes me a pround owner and has got recognition. Every thing is excellent with Honda City SMT. I have test driven Manza, Hyundai verna. SX4. But no car matches the comfortable ride especially in  long distance highway drive. Cruising at 100 KM PH, looks as if you are driving at 60KMPL.Also maneuvering on highways and negotiating large heavy vehicles in NH is very easy on account of ABS I presume. So far happy with the performance of Honda City SMT 

 

Areas of improvement  First free service at 1 month is ok. However the second free service is at 3 months which is too early considering the efficiency of the vehicle. Moreover  the last and third free service in 6 months is not acceptable. Also the pestering phone calls forcing to bring the vehicle is little bit too much. All other cars have an extended free service period. There fore Honda should also consider extending the free service period as follows:

Ist free service 1 month or 1000 KM'

2nd Free service 6 months or 5000 KM

3rd Free service 12 months or 10000 KM

Considering that many of Honda city car owners are individuals and own driven, driving 5000 KM in 3 months and 10000 KM in 6 months is next to impossible. Hence the service period should be extended so that all owners can bring back for paid service in 18 to 24 months etc.
