Honda City 1.3 i-VTEC Prosmatec Car Reviews

Well Corolla and City owners are just throwing bricks on each other. Both Corolla and Honda are good cars so please give honest reviews.

I own both GLi 2012 and Honda City Prosmatic (October 2012 model). So heres my experience about HONDA CITY.

Pros
1 - Very stylish looks.
2 - Fuel economy is excellent. My Prosmatic gives me 18 on Highways without AC provided I keep speed at 100 Km/Hr. Within city in lot of traffic its giving me 13-14 without AC. On the other hand Corolla Gli MANUAL due to its weight and bulk hardly gives me 12 within city and 14-15 on highways.
3 - Titanic interior now being offered is really stylish as compared to Corolla.
4 - Price is less as compared to Corolla. My prosmatic with company fitted Navigation/Multimedia cost me Rs 1,696,000 whereas Corolla Gli manual without any Multimedia/Navigation currently cost the same.
5 - Honda City is really quite while driving there is no engine sound at all. Its also really streamlined for effecient Airflow reducing air drag and noise. Corolla's engine on the other hand is not so quite.

Cons
1 - Seats are Hard and are not at all comfortable as compared to Corolla.
2 - Suspension is hard and seems much delicate than Corolla. Even in the first 1000 Kms I have realized that Honda City is not made for rough Roads. You have to take great care not to take it to bumpy roads. Corolla however, is made tough for any type of roads.
3 - Although more fuel effecient, engine seems to have less power as compared to Corolla 1.3.
4 - I have experienced minute knocking so I have to mix High octone as a remedy which solves the problem. Corolla's engine happily accepts any type of petrol without any knocking etc.

Conclusion:
If you travel alot on rough bumpy roads then Honda City is not the car for you. However, provided you stay on known/smooth/good routes than this car is probably the best possible option for you.

Absolutely awesome car. One of the all time best redesigns of cars from the previous city to this one. Lovely style. Keep an eye on the front there cuz the new honda civic (already available in the middle east and coming soon in pakistan) is gonna have a very very similar front.
Smooth as silk. Slightly hard suspensions but on urban and long routes, its seamless. great looking interior. Cheapest brand new Automatic car here in Pakistan. I love its rear cuz it looks quite similar to BMW 318.
Some people say they dont get a reasonable fuel economy nothing above 7 or 8 km/l, please get your city completely checked by honda. You should get 11-13 in the city in summers, around 16 on the motorway and around 18 on GT rd.
THis is a very well balanced car in terms of the drive. It gives you immense control over your drive. Thanks to that, I have avoided a lot of hard situations, accidents.
Nice queit i-vtec 1.3 engine that gives you reasonable enough power. On automatic transmission, it might seem a little less at times but a more expert drives can take out more power from it.

I would never sell it had I been staying in Pakistan. Its a keeper!

Well I will post a very geniune opinion on City AT. I have made a mistake. The material which Honda is using is rubbish...all tin total tin. Stand this car on a highway and let a Daewoo passby, your car will make u feel u have swayed. What is the use of having a bloch under the seats. This car has not to be driven by only ladies. Ergonomics if poor. Fuel consumption in city area is not more than 10. I hav a 2 months old car. Touch the roof and u will feel u are touching thermopore...be careful its very fragile. Hell with looks (only front). Buy Corolla, though I never liked it but at least it spacious and does not hav negatives more thyan City.

I have bought honda city and then i have to discard this car at a significant loss. Because the car is a mini size car and it is not worth the price which we pay. It has out dated style and stupid black interior with strong red odometer lights. This is a girly car which is not suitable for guys at all. Toyota Corolla Xli is a more stylish car, which i have recently bought and received aplauses from different people. I think the car is worth the price i pay unlike the city. There is no comparision of Xli with City. City is equivalent to the Liana or Swift.
