Honda City i-VTEC Rating

Exterior: Many people disagree but Honda City offers a strong built car and much better than Toyota Corolla GLI. Toyota has been bulking up the new Corollas and this is one of the reasons it gets scratches and dents the most in our crowded traffic of Pakistan. The shape is more focused towards young guys with an aggressive look.

Exterior: Many people disagree but Honda City offers a strong built car and much better than Toyota Corolla GLI. Toyota has been bulking up the new Corollas and this is one of the reasons it gets scratches and dents the most in our crowded traffic of Pakistan. The shape is more focused towards young guys with an aggressive look.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort): Honda City offers a beastly interior. The elegant black interior and completely different shapes provides a very sleek and appealing interior. It's indeed not as much spacious as Corolla but at least it's new and awesome! While on the other hand, most of the Pakistan manufactured cars are offering the same interior since ages. Thank God Honda has thought of something new. The car is comfortable enough but not the best. Seriously, neglect this factor as there is much more and if you care so much about the comfort then get a soft pair of tiers and you can have pretty good comfort. The car has enough room to relax and stretch for five persons and put your goodies in the huge trunk. The most coolest feature in terms of capacity is they are now offering very good amount of space below the rare seats where you can put your small items i.e Laptops.

Fuel Economy: The best in Pakistan. No other Pakistan manufactured car could be a comparison. The reason is simple that Honda has not bulked up the car with unnecessary amount of weight. The car runs perfectly fine on Petrol and on CNG as well but make sure to get it done from someone good who knows what he is doing.

Ride Quality & Handling: Again, the best among the Pakistan manufactured cars. The engine is soundless, the handling is just perfect! The car is fully under your control at maximum speed and the ABS is your best friend.

Final Words: Let me explain. When you'll try to buy a City people are going to say "The spare parts are expensive". Let me tell you, they are not! The better item, the higher the cost. They are a bit expensive but they are affordable. Or better yet, just get your car insured.
Secondly, people are going to claim that Honda City has a low resale value. I'll agree but then again, the car has been underestimated. Anyone with a good brain would prefer Honda City over any other car that you'd get for the same amount.

Thank you Honda!

Exterior: The exterior is nicely designed though its not a strong built(local assembled are all tin ka taba)anyway the car is gives more of an aggressive look than any of its local contemporary's.I would rate its exterior 8/10

Interior: Its interior has not much to offer,cheap interior but the new titan interior looks decent.It's spacious but not as much if u compare it with its contemporary's i.e XLI,GLI.
This I-Vtec is comfortable in its own way,those who lost their youth might struggle a bit. 7/10

Ride Quality & Handling: Impressed with the throttle response this I-Vtech gives,there is no second thought to it that contemporary's eat its dust.It has a hard(Al-Mashhoor)suspension which brings both advantages and disadvantages to the car and becauase of that it disappoints a little on rural but drives like a boss on urban roads.It has an edge over its contemporary's in handling thanks to its hard suspension. 8.5/10

Fuel Econonmy : This I-Vtech is not just popular because of its hard suspension,It's fuel economy is what that makes it even famous throughout.

With A/C 12-13 km/l
Without A/C 14-15 km/l
Highway 16-20 km/l

The above mentioned figures may vary from person to person and totally depends on the way the car is driven.

Not many people take a drive-test before buying a vehicle in PK,so i would suggest everyone to atleast drive-test first that particular car your about to buy.

Exterior: The styling is excellent and the car is very attractive. It's sleek and it's actually shaped like an arrow. Overall, the design and build is fantastic.

Interior: The interior is brilliant, especially if you opt for beige cloth instead of black. The quality of the upholstery and all the materials, even if they are plastic, is very good. The stereo system is also a good one for this price range.

Fuel Economy: Fuel economy is exceptional in this car, it achieves 11.4 km/l of mostly city driving with the A/C on all the time and being thrashed around. Because of the current CNG crisis, buying this will help preserve CNG reserves.

Ride Quality: The ride quality is very good, and it's not as hard as many people say, but it is harder than a Corolla. That might be a good thing because this feels better over bumps than my old GLi, that was too jumpy.

Performance & Handling: This being a Honda, lives up to expectations and the acceleration is amazing. Handling, too is brilliant, even at high speeds, like 130 km/h, it does not wave around or vibrate much. Acceleration is better than the Swift or GLi/XLi and it can easily take them in a drag race.

Final Words: Honda has outdone themselves with this car and this is an excellent buy for anyone thinking about it. This is better than the GLi/XLi or the Swift/Liana, and I can vouch for that having owned all of them. I would recommend going for the auto as the manual is jerky, but you should test drive it as you may feel differently.
Thank you.

Exterior:the exterior of Honda City i-vtec is very smart and better then Gli. but the car is very low bed thats why its difficult to pass from some speed breaks. Secondly the suspension is not that good.the exterior is great,strong and the aerodynamic shape of car gives a good perfomance on highway

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort):There are no such features. the car is good in comfort and space

Fuel Economy:almost 1 liter/13km

When you spend 1.4 million of your hard earned money you look for comfort, style and fuel economy to some extent as well. For me the experience so far is satisfying if not so great. The over all looks are good, although interior is made up of cheap plastic and even after using it for 14000KM in last 1.5 year it has never gave me major rattling noises. Fuel economy is good but the drawbacks are poor acceleration and really bad suspension. Suspension issue can be resolved by putting a better quality tyers with a bit more profile but that wi... more

Suspension issue can be resolved by putting a better quality tyers with a bit more profile but that will not totally solve the problem and after buying this car you have live with the fact that it is just like this

City is more stylish than Corolla has cheap black interior, it now has got beige interior which is even better than Corolla's...City is really fun to drive, pick is great because when you are drving the VTEC kicks in and you enjoy it...Corolla has some major advantages over City that

Its Much more comfortable than City because as we all know that City has unfortunately got a hard suspension so the ride is less comfortable which i simply can't understand the actual reason behind this which only Atlas Honda knows because it is such a nice car, Sleek and Stylish but the reality is that the drive of Corolla isn't comfortable only its seats are comfortable which means the ride is comfotable but CITY IS THE CAR WHICH HAS GOT comfortable drive but uncomfortable ride quality and City is not a good performer on bumpy roads such as in villages and it can also not sustain heavy drives while Corolla has all these benfits!!!

Corolla has a bigger and solid body which is very durable for years while City is a bit sensitive in this case

Now coming to the other side City has good power to weight much better pick and a very smooth drive as the its engine horsepower and torque is more than Corollas!!!

City has got very cool colours such as Alabaster Silver, Taffeta White, Polish Metal, Deep Lapis Blue Metallic, Crystal Black, Habanero Red amd and Bold Beige Metallic!!!

and coming to the end i believe that the brakes of City are better than Corolla as they are ABS AND YOU KNOW Honda ABS is awesome!!!

So the conclusion of my review is that Corolla is a car for old people
while City is the choice for younsters!!!

I was using Gli ecotec for last 4 months ....people say corolla is under powered and not economical.....

Drove the new city of my dad ... sharing my experienience.

1.City is having a very bad pickup or u say v.slow acceleration on petrol.
2.A/C of city is not chilling as compared to Corolla
3.Regarding fuel economy it was hardly giving me 1km more than corolla.
4.on rough roads it was totally messed up with fazool suspension.
5.It was knocking on petrol which is very much irritating.

4.on rough roads it was totally messed up with fazool suspension.
5.It was knocking on petrol which is very much irritating.

Its plus points:

1.Front leg room and seating position is much better than Corolla.
2.Comfort of city is more on motorway and better roads because of its calm and quite engine.
3.Gear shifting is much better than corolla and clutch is also small.

overall instead of wasting money on this crap buy
1.xli or gli
2.civic on cng is much better than driving a city on petrol or buy Civic Hybrid.
3.go for axio as its seats,road grip,performance and build quality is far better than local altis.
