Man actually i was also thinking the same until i drove the new city last week .... its pathetic sux simply sux , no match for civic , in civic driver seats position is so comfortable more comfy thn corolla and latest civic even , tht sofa type arm rest really feels good , in city theres no arm rest in front and not even in back seats , poor visibility , obviously u wont be able to feel the great power as in ur civic , shape of this civic is still better , interior is so decent and luxurious , better visibility than previous corolla , current corolla , previous city new city and new civic ! ample legroom , good headroom offcourse sunroof power retractable mirrors u have got everything man , and its drive is still very aggressive and superb as compared to new city ! If u can afford new Altis or New civic then go 4 them but not for city ! i was waiting for last 8-9 months for this city but in the end really realized civic 05 is still much better ! i parked my civic next to new city it was lookin a cute baby and my civic was lookin a kaatil haseena
