Honda city vs new Toyota Gli

2012 Honda City 1.3 i-VTEC

I have driven my city for 23k now and sort of inclined to go for new Toyota largely due to its tempting looks. However, I wanted to test drive it before I committed myself to it. Today I got the chance to test drive my friend's new Toyota. The car is responsive and pick peppy, may be slightly better than City but its interior is downright disappointing. The door panel fabric is very cheap material. Even a locally assembled Suzuki has a better dashboard. Everything in there smacks of callousness of the local manufacturers. The stereo has no camera input either. City on the other hand has a great interior, its seats are rugged and give you an assuring feeling. I did not think that Toyota suspension was drastically different. With good tires City drive can be equally comfortable. Honda City is a brilliant car that gives good value for money. I would rate it better any day.

Very happy with the choice of car. Has a very sporty look and one of the best looking cars available in the local market.

Interior might not be as spacious as compared to a corolla but it definitely is very sleek and trendy.

Giving me a mileage of 13-14 in city which is very good and I never feel under powered.

Definitely good value for money.

I bought new Honda City (iVTEC) in 2011 and its been 4 years of comfort, economy, style and satifaction. Throgh out these 4 years I have never met an unforseen maintenance. Though its routine maintenance components are a bit expense like its air filter which cost around 1500 Rs.

I like its exterior as I always say the looks are always upto individuals.
I dont like its interior as it is all black and remain dusty / dirty all the time.
Fuel economy is superb. it cant get any better unless u move to hybrid or any other advanced technology. Although at times I felt it is a bit under power but with now 1.5 liter this issue must have been resolved.

Final Words: Excellent Car in this price. Go for it...

Exterior as well as interior is very stylish.
Five normal size people can sit comfortably in it. Front seats size is same as Corolla. Difference is space between front seats 1.5 inch. Same is the case with back seats 2 inch shorter than corolla.
Leg space is sufficient, same as Corolla.
Trunk is almost same but narrow mouth opening so very large bag cannot enter into it unless we tilt it or put it side ways.
Initially mileage was 12.5 km/l locally, 13.5km/l on motorway, and 14.5km/l on GT road. Now after 18,000 kms its mileage is surprisingly rises to 15.8km/l locally, 16.7km/l on motorway and 18.5km/l on GT road. This car gives high mileage on high RPM. Best mileage is at 3200 rpm. Try to drive it in 4th gear all the time.
Old shape with plastic grill and simple back lights looks decent. New shape (facelift) looks cheap with metal grill and too many back lights. Facelift also looks smaller than old shape. But facelift offers other goodies too. So its upto you.

Perfect size to drive in urban areas. Best car handling experience ever. Unbelievable driving comfort and pleasure. Body is solid. Acceleration is perfect. 1300cc for Lahore and 1500cc for hilly areas. 2013 and onward Honda City has high suspension and seats like Corolla and drive of Honda Civic. Suspension of both old shape Corolla and City is same. Corolla seats are soft because of this jerks do not transfer into body. Both companies use same type of suspensions. Honda City saves you minimum 2 lakh from XLI and 3 lakh from GLI. I would suggest to save this money and use it for refueling your new Honda City for next two years. This makes the equation:
Toyota Corolla = [ Honda City + 2 years of free fuel ]
So the mileage of Honda City becomes unbeatable with any other car in this category including Toyota Prius, which cost 10 lakh more. Which means:
Toyota Prius = [ Honda City + 10 years of free fuel ].
Honda City is for educated class and Corolla is for uneducated class.

Exterior is reasonable if not great. It meets the shape good enough for an urban sub-compact sedan,
Interior is fine. Glove compartment is a bit small as compared to overall dashboard space.
Suspension is a bit stiff. On good roads, suspension problem seems insignificant. However on a bumpy road, suspension behaves quite lousy.
Car seems to be a bit under-powered while cruising on a long trip however for ride within city, power is fair.
Best part is fuel economy. On long routes, I get 20 KM/liter easily and this is the best part of this car.

Extertior: Excellent, has a very sporty look
Interior: Very Spacious and gives a good feel when one sits inside.
Comfort: Suspension is a bit harder than corolla so here corolla takes the lead.
Fuel Economy: Excellent. especially on highways
Engine Performance: the engine is responsive except in second gear when it sometimes feels as if car has no more power to accelerate.
Brakes: excellent. the EBD and ABS works perfectly in emergency situations.
Ground Clearance: very low, so u need to be very careful on speed breakers, especially if 3 or more persons are sitting
Navigation: the navigation system is also very good and its sound quality is also good
Overall Best car in 1300 cc category, especially for bachelors or small families.Gives the value for money.

Good Car But Only for Urban Areas

2013 Honda City 1.3 i-VTEC

4/5

Posted by Hadi Altaf on Jan 01, 2015

Familiarity: I owned this car.

Exterior : Very Stylish & Cool Shape as Compare to Gli.
Interior : Looks Good but Cheap Plastic made and very noisy.
Seats are not good & comfortable as compare to Gli but over all well fitted. Navigation and meter looks very cool as compare to any other 1.3 car in the market.
Fuel economy is no doubt the best in the marker when it comes to 1.3 category cars.
Drive is really good as i have drive it more than 2 years. But had to sale it just because of its poor performance in rulers areas and sound bumps after every second when you are on poor road .
But Overall very good car for guys and small family.

Familiarity: I did not own this car, but have driven this car.

I will offer few tech spec for the engines of both cars for the valued members of Pakwheels. The city is launched with L13A iVTEC engine which was developed for Honda Fit etc. A small tech review link is attached http://asia.vtec.net/Engines/LSERIESG2/. The tech spec says it’s good for city commute due to its low RPM high torque, which also helps its fuel eco. Another edge is relatively better power to weight ratio. On the other hand Toyota corolla has 2 NZ-FE engine which was designed for 1.3 vitz etc and used by Toyota Pakistan in corolla since 2008 (Toyota E 140 wide body). The new corolla (E-170) has the same engine as the old one thus it will have somewhat the same power to weight ratio and fuel consumption. In short old wine in new bottle. Rest I leave it to your judgment.
