Honda City

Honda's new City used to be quite the iconic thing, with the fourth and fifth generation cars especially quite popular here back in the day and both featuring rather distinctive and appealing styling.

Best for like quality better then other cars quality. Good reviews for Honda city and the car of the year 2021 and four safety award's.

Absolutely love the design of the new Honda City, it looks miles better than its predecessor.

Inside however, the car looks rather dated with its analog cluster, but it should age rather well.

The engine found in this City is the familiar 1.5 litre NA, while other countries such as Thailand gets turbocharged variants of the car which would be nice to have.

It also delivers a very good ride quality and insulation levels that can rival cars. Most importantly it has many features comparable to many other more expensive brands.

I got the honda city in nov 2020. It is a simple car. Not too many features but ok. Not too bad. Very comfortable in handling.

There is one thing I note. It is that after an acceleration, when I release the accelerator, the rev stays up for a while. I read online that its because the new city has the electronic throttle but not able to independently verify it. Maybe I will do it at the next servicing. So in case any driver encounters this and think its unique to him, I encountered this also.

Went by Kah Motor to look at this new City where earlier generation is a 3 cylinder which now you see is a 4 cylinder engine.

Exterior curves looks like a compacted and taller version of civic with shark fin antenna.

There are 2 variants, base and RS which RS comes with cosmetics, 16 inches rims, better leather interior, additional fog lights, more airbags, paddle shifters and better speakers too. All these are at the small top up which is great.

Interior is seems much more spacious than before, came with rear aircon (usually you do not have in a small sedan). Only no automatic headlights, automatic rain sensors or automatic folding mirrors when locked. Seats looks more premium than before as well.

Paired with a CVT 7 speed automatic gearbox that is pretty good for a smooth drive. At drive mode is norm where do not expect much in Sports mode as is meant for a day to day car.

Parking is easy too as reverse camera is factory fitted too.

Overall, it is a good compact sedan over the hatchback (jazz) whereby now is a 4 cylinder engine.
