Confusion about different types of Honda City

[Taimzfacbok]

AsalamuAlaikum,

I want to buy Honda City model 2011 or 2012. But I got confused due to different types of Honda City like i-vtec, exis, prosmatic etc.

So I want to inquire which one is the best honda city model ? Like in Premio the best model is X..

Thanks

Aspire is the best version in city..while prosmatic means the one having auto transmission so it depends on you to decide which Will suit you...personally I like auto tranny.

[muradi]

Aspire=Fully Loaded Top of the Line Version
Base=Lower than Aspire but still has all the necessary goodies
Prosmatic=Automatic
Manual=
Ivtec=Engine Technology, All Cities r IvTec
If u want alloys retract mirrors, navi etc then go for Aspire else get the Base model City

[usman_arooq2]

city is available in two varients, base and aspire(the fully loaded one), two engines (1.3 and 1.5) and two transmissions(manual and auto a.k.a prosematic).

the current shape city is i-vtec, the 2005 shape is idsi, 2002 shape is exi(it came in other trims and should be called sx8 but known as exi by majority)

SX8 is not a city it a civic

google honda sx8. again for a minute i felt like the sheldon from the big bang theory where he meets Prof Stephen Hawking who points a mistake in his research.

[juventus]

ivtec = simple base model
ivtec prosmatic = automatic base model
aspire = manual fully loaded model 1.5 or 1.3
aspire prosmatic = fully loaded automatic transmission model

Before 2012:
only one variant of city. Manual and Automatic with steel rims, no front and back arm rests.

2012-2013:
New variant is introduced, Called Aspire. it is introduced in the same 1.3L engine and has 5 spoke alloy rims,keyless entry,back speakers, leather seat covers. The base model now has front and back arm rests and the interior is in black color.

2013-2014:
In 2013 aspire 1.3 is replaced with a 1.5L engine with new type of alloy designs and the interior of the city is changed to a combination of beige and black color.

Thankyou all.

I want to buy Automatic Honda City model 2011/2012, as I cant drive manual cars
Plus, I have Premio 2005, which I am selling due to high fuel consumption.

So, which honda city model is best that suit my needs ?

Both the 1.3 and 1.5 return brilliant fuel economy if driven properly. Personally I would go for the 1.3; people say that it is sluggish though.

Most City drivers (and other automatic car drivers) don't get good fuel economy for a simple reason; they pump the accelerator during driving. This will frequently disengage torque converter lock up, and the engine won't go into i-VTEC mode. Don't treat the accelerator like an on/off switch; use gentle but deliberate throttle control; you will be amazed at the resulting fuel economy.

Pumping the accelerator will also prevent i-VTEC from engaging in the manual transmission model.
