      I wish to share the incident I face with my new car (HONDA CITY) which I brought up in February 2015   (Chassis no- MAKGM85AXXXXXXX, Engine No. N15A12XXXXX).

      On 29th July 2015 while driving my car, Sun Roof glass exploded all of a sudden in the middle of road with gunshot noise. Thankfully because of a highway, there wasn't any other vehicle nearby. Else I might have met with a serious road accident. I was fortunate that the inner shutter was closed else it could have resulted in big accident. I thoroughly checked for any possibility of hitting of any objects but couldn’t find any such thing. I immediately took my car to local dealer in Sonipat (Haryana-India). who in turn sent the pictures for further evaluation to Honda. They also told me that there is no sign any object hit event.

      I also called up Honda121customer care for the same with Communication ID number 1-3110288512.

      Later I was informed by dealer that Honda refuse to accept any manufacture defect and the part replacement will not be done under Warranty, although its brand new car.

      After many follow-ups with customer care in India there is no fruitful outcomes, with no way for me to go I apply for Insurance claim on April 4th, 2015 with a pain in my heart as this thing should have been taken care under warranty by Honda. Still there is no fruitful follow-up from Honda. there were no spare with Honda.

      I was using Hyundai Verna earlier and changed to Honda in a good hope of Quality good services but this is what I am facing now.

      Even write to Honda Japan, Customer care is not ready to accept the flaw with the glass. It’s a serious compliance issue which needs to be taken care by Quality check team from Honda.

      I can be reached at XXXXXXXXXX

       ok, but i also facing same problem on running found  inside smoke smell, and rain time black liquid from silencer, many time consult with capital honda , meenambakkam, they reply is not responsible, 

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

       very very poor pick up, gear box not match with engine, fuel econmy ok but have to maitain speed below 80km /hr, but for maitain this speed we shall go for indica or nano, etc

      Ride  Quality & Handling

       driving comfort ok,but during running any speed breake or other distrubance found due to road quality, defintly engine compartment will touch the road, too much tension on this problem, also not match with our country roads, it is suitable for very good road only

      Final Words

       no value for money, no body buy honda cars, honda name is only name and money, no quality, service, response, we can buy our indians cars simply

      Areas of improvement  

       engine, ground clearance,doors finishing,rubber beadings etc   ,

      Exterior Good Exterior, Nice Interior, very comfort in driving. If you are lucky & Blessed by God then there might not be any problem.

      If you have ordinary luck & you buy Honda then they will bring Blood as tear in ur eyes. Honda never except that their product have corners for improvement so there is no use of approaching customer care.

      I had already provide feedback on sun roof exploded, Now wat I am facing is 3rd time AC cooling duct failure, One time service centre took pain to repair it (Thanks to myself that I have taken extended warranty) second time I was lucky that it starts own it own after one day breakdown. But again same problem. AC is not effective in cabin. I met few customer of Honda City they face same problem.

      AC cooling duct (hope I am using RT word) has been changed in their car also, I came to know that Honda City is having this defect/Problem(Quality) in AC ducts in this segment other segments are OK (I don't have any concern about other segments. I am sharing mail ID of Honda Japan customer care customersvc4@spirit.honda.co.jp

      Request you to always make cc to this mail ID. Might be in future they take concern of customer complaints.

      Thanks.

      Disclaimer : I am not an expert for writing Car reviews. Just putting down my thoughts and experience with my New Honda City I-Dtec, bought recently

       

      Exterior

       Exterior of the Car is decent, H design implemented gives it a distinct edge over its previous version and rear look is astonishing. Front grill has been changed from 3 segment grill to a broad single piece grill. Styling as well as finishing of front grill is not as good as it was in previous version. This is the area which i think have a great scope of improvement. (3 star for exterior is largely due to front look, else it could have been 4 or 5) 

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

       Interior, as per me, is the USP of new honda City. Feather touch A/C control system, Wide screen music system, well mixed interior, Sunroof (feature only available in City, compared to its Peers in the class), dual colour LED light dial adds up to make its interior feel really rich. Honda has launched this car with More Man - Less machine concept and punch line is very appropriate. Interior as per me is 5/5.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

       Fuel Economy is good. Got mileage of 22 Km/l on highway,driving at a speed of 80-100 Kmph.To avoid knocking when accelerator pedal is released, Honda has set sort of cruise speed for each gear (this might be what they call i-dtec/i-vtec). for novice it could be a good option but for regular user this is bit annoying as speed dont reduce beyond certain limit on releasing accelerator pedal. Can feel engine noice inside the car but as I understand it is inherent property of diesel engine.

      Ride Quality & Handling

       Ride quality is good. Suspension has been made stiffer compared to older version to avoid car hitting bumps on the road. this has reduced comfort little bit but still is very much acceptable. Steering wheel is bit more smooth to give feel of a sturdy car. I am not more of a cruiser so wont be able to write more about handling at higher speeds

      Final Words

      Overall a good deal and Value for Money

      Areas of improvement  

       For version with Alloy wheels, spare wheel is without alloy wheels. This is ridiculous way of cost cutting.When a person is spending 12+ lacks he could not expect this kind of cost cutting. Car seems to be designed for class who want to get car drove by Schauffer. A remote control for the music system would be much appreciated in such cases. Projector head lamp can be added to make feature list complete.

       

      Space, Interior, MileageCost cutting techniques implemented.

      Exterior

       Low ground clearance. So, very difficult in spoiled roads. The under covers are not fit properly and comes out often. The front bumper comes out even for any small impact, say like street dogs. 

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

       Spacious with good air condition, good looking and comfortable seats

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

       Pick up, especially in 2nd gear is very poor. Engine gets off if we move with second gear. Engine noise increases (I can clearly see difference in 10,000 km and in 30,000 km). The company had used worst tyres (good year) as they are very cheap. 3 of my tyres got bursted in various occations. 

      Ride Quality & Handling

       Low suspension and difficult on spoiled roads. Low ground clearance and the under covers on the engines are low and comes off often as they are not placed properly. They had use plastic screws which worn out often. Very low braking compared to Volkswagen.

      Final Words

       Ok type car for this segment at this price. 

      Areas of improvement  

       Braking should be improved, good tyres should be used, engine pick up, especially in 2nd gear should be improved, suspension can be improved. 

       

      Spacious, good Air condition, Good fuel economy,Low pick up, low braking ability, worst tyres (good year) 3 of my tyres bursted. Low ground clearanc

      My car is running around 80000 kilometres, recently the engine sound will increase too much. The performance will decreased too much. The company’s customer complaint divisions is very bad. It is not good in long run

      Exterior: Good

       

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort): No comfort, it jumps on every speed breaker & every pit on the road which shakes your body & neck. Seems shockers are extremely poor. My car is 2 months old & i am extremely frustrated

       

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox: Horrible, understand what it means by 26km/litre. Honda commit 1500rpm @60km constant speed. Else it is not going beyond 17 & you may also get 14 km/litre. You feel cheated

       

      Ride Quality & Handling: Ride experience extremely painful & i prefer my Accent over this horrible drive. I personally don't recommend if you looking for Ride quality

       

      Final Words: NO NO. Don't buy else you will repent. Two keys reasons: ZERO comfort inspite i placed extra cushions & padding. Mileage is damm poor nothing more than 15km/litre for city ride

       

      Areas of improvement: No point of buying as its no value for money. Even Honda representative had no explaination inspite running check on mileage

      Good looksWorst comfort, work mileage (completely fake)

      This is awesome car in sedan model. Nice looking. Amazing feeling in long drive, no tired in more than 500 km drive in single day. Honda services are very good . This car require low maintenance, so I love this car more than other car of sedan modal. Service centre of Honda car is every where in locality and far away from town,Hilly place .so I love this car more and more.
