ہونڈا سٹی ۱.۳ آئی-وی ٹی ای سی گاڑیوں پر تبصرے

HEY PEOPLE!!!!! TO BE VERY HONEST I RECOMMEND U PEOPLE TO BUY A CITY INSTEAD OF COROLLA OR I CAN SAY, COROLLA DOESNT EVEN RESEMBLE CITY!!!!!!!!!!!
I OWN A CITY 2011 MODEL.....
I WZ ABOUT TO BUY A COROLLA XLI BUT I CAME TO KNOW THE CONS OF ITS PERFORMANCE AND BRAKING.
MOREOVER,,,, URE BUYING A CAR WITHOUT POWER WINDOWS AND ABS. AND THE SEATS OF COROLLA ARE JUST,,,,,,,,, I CAN SAY MORE WORST THAN UNCOMFORATBLE, IT HAS A FUEL ECONOMY ALMOST HALF OF CITY. DO U WANT TO BUY A CAR OF 14 LAKHS WITHOUT POWER WINDOWS, ABS AND CENTRAL LOCKING........
CITY HAS CENTRAL LOCKING BUT NOT ALARM SYSTEM......XLI HAS NEITHER CENTRAL LOCKING,, NEITHER ALARM SYSTEM. SPACE OF CITY IS A BIT MORE THAN XLI FROM REAR.. U WILL NOT BELIEVE IT BUT BELIEVE ME.. IT HAS A COMPAcT SHAPE,,,,,,,
NEW CITY COMES WITH USB PLAYER ALSO AND XLI LACKS IT.
CITY HAS BOOT SPACE OF 506L MORE THAN ACCORD EURO AND CIVIC,, AND XLI HAS LESS BOOT SPACE THAN CITY.....
BELIEVE ME PEOPLE.... I WZ ABOUT TO BUY COROLLA BUT MY OPINION CHANGED WHEN I WENT TO HONDA SHOWROOM. AND MOREOVER,, IT WAS AVAILABLE IN READY STOCK,,,, IF ITS NOT AVAILABLE IN READY STOCK,, IT WILL BE DELIVERED IN ONLY 7 DAYS ,, WHILE XLI TAKES MORE THAN A MONTH ,.,.,,,,,,,CITY GOES TO 195 KMH AND XLI HIGHEST SPEED IS NOT MORE THAN 175KMH.... XLI IS UNDERPOWERED...
SO IF U DONT BELIEVE ME,, U CAN CHECK BOTH CARS PHYSICALLY IN TOYOTA AND HONDA SHOWROOMS.....

THNXXXX!!!

bought city 2009 zero meter

initially i was excited as usual and was enjoying like hell. started hating corolla the most and started participating in Honda vs Corolla threads praising city like if it is the best ever...

but now after driving more than 20,000, my views are a little bit changed. this doesnot mean i started hating city or something like that but i realized that corolla is not that bad as well...coming to my experience of the new honda city,
as i told you i enjoyed it like hell and i am still enjoying it...

as far as the shape of the car is concerned, it is not sumthing lik static or standard. everyone has his own choice. for some it may be good and vice versa for others. i like its shape but always wished certain changes in its shape like i hate the shape of its front bumper.
though i am not a technological guy but i beleive that city's shape is very much aerodynamical. i travel on isb to peshawar motorway very often and beleive me this car accelerates without much resistance of air drag. tried many tmes, without looking at speedometer, i floor my car, shiftthe gears and upon shifting fifth i look at speedometer and i am always near or above 200. and at 200, i dont feel anything negative which makes me slow down the car and this is because of good aerodynamics of the car.

other good things the car has got is excellent acceleration, the very famous VTEC, excellent fuel milage, good AC, electronic stearing which feels awesome, good sound system(i am not into music stuff).

when i got the car, i was also supposed to CNG it. i delayed it for some time and thought that i will install CNG after running it for some 5 or 10 thousand kilometers. but after reaching 10,000 i had completely forgot i ever thought of installing CNG and till now i am very much satisfied with its fuel average.

there are some cons in the car as well which i experienced.

the rear suspension of the car is a bit hard, infact very hard, to b honest. if the road is a little bit uneven, the pleasure of its drive becomes adverse suddenly. the car's hight is normal when only 2 persons are there. but when some one sits on its rear seat, it becomes a little bit low. if 5 perons enter the car, it becomes vry low and you have t be vary carefull at bumps.

City has got very poor sound deadening. The sound of little stones hitting the car during driving is echoed inside the cabin which is very much irritating. i can literally hear the sound of splashes of gasoline in the fuel tank inside the cabin.

Overall i am satisfied with my car as no thing in this world i perfect.

I ve had my ride for about 8 months now. i shifted from a Cuore, so i had a genuine learning experince first few months.

All in all, City is an excellent car.

Body&interior:
It is shaped beautifully, and the interior is awesome as well. In fact, the car is very roomy when you sit inside. The Dashboard is highquality and well laid out with dual glove compartments adding to the benifit.
The seats are comfortable (atleast to me) and the car has ample bootspace (even with CNG).

Engine/Mechanics:
The car is very smooth and feels powerful enough in city driving (never drove on a highway yet). The best part about this car is its milage rate and the Air Conditoner. The car is a dream to drive, both on CNG and Petrol, and summers are enjoyable with the level of cooling it provides. The braking and accelration is good as well

All in All, it is a goood car for city driving by a small family.

The cons, that i have felt are below: (in my humble opinion. please dont start a honda vs toyota fight)

1) The engine bay is a bit cramped and low on space. especially if you get CNG installed, you ll have a bit of trouble in changing the light bulbs.

2) being a honda, i dont really like its suspension. It is superb, but only as long as you drive on good paved roads. It deteriotes faster than a corolla if driven on rough roads. Plus, its suspension works are costlier to maintain.

3) The Lights, in my car, its always one bulb or the other that is going out in teh headlights. i have 3 mates with the same car and we all have a residen tproblem with our headlights.

4) again, in all 3 cars of this model that i have driven, i have come to not trust the fuel gauge. even 500 rs worth of petrol sends its needle soaring to the middle. i just think its a bit un reliable.

5) the side frame f windscreen deals a serious blow to visibility, especially whole turning on junctions (but you get used to it)

all in all, it is a good car. but i would rather go for a corolla if given the option now, solely because of the suspension as i drive on rought roads a bot.

Hope this helps.
