    DRIVING:
    Few hundred kilometers

    Exterior When comes to exterior, still looks premium and looks on par with rival Hyundai Verna. Nothing much said worng about exterior. 

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Average Infotainment in CAR, could have installed some quality system. Also, the under quality rear view camera is really looks sad. I bet you, the 1000 rupees worth local camera still give clear night vision view than this dud one. The dah board design looks premium but again under quality material for cost cutting. Good thing is, push on/off button with keyless entry is good. When comes to space, really honda did very good optimised the space more, which is selling point for honda. infact, this reason i switch to honda from verna.seat comfort and raid quality on pumpy road is good.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performace is good and very stable and perform well. Fuel economy is ok. i am bit use throttle more often. i used to get 12 in Highway and 10.5 in city. hope, after 1st service will get better. Gear bos design is blunder? I do not believe it. Really, dispointed with gear box with such refined city model. Gear stuck and gear shifting is annoying. Clutch is too tight. I was having verna, gear box and clutch was too smooth. Also, steering wheel is too tight, I d not know why?

    Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality awesome and very stable at hihg speed. No roll over problem. good cruise control, which saves me foot in highway. thanks for the cruise. 

    Final Words I test drive initially both the car Verna and City. After lot of dicusuion with myself, i went to Honda for the brand and refined car. The space and reliability factors, which insist me to go for honda than the verna. Infact, new verna exterior, interior, gear box, cabin noise insulation, infotainment, dashboard, steering, gear shifting were top notch. But, verna is not refined as a honda, when comes to perfomance and longivity.

    Areas of improvement

    - Hard steering wheel is serious issue for concern. (Never feel power stering it is).

    - Gear box is designed to let out a honda to a lot. Stuck when shifting gears.

    - Cabin noise need to isolate.

    - Hard clutch, hyundai EON has a better clutch and gear box I guess.

    - Flimsy gear knob.

    - Interior materil needs to imporove.

    - Poor quality rear camera with pathetic night vision camera

    Overall.

    - Cutting the cost to great extend by trimmed down the quality of infotainmant, gearbox, clutch, steering wheel control and interior quality material.
