Honda City Exclusive V AT (2010)

I’m using this car since last 9 years. Even after i also have Jeep Compass and Skoda Rapid TDI AT from last 3 years, but still i keep the only petrol car in my family, to very honest still this car interior far batter than my Skoda Rapid. This car really fun to drive, basically in city. It’s really pleasant to drive. Mileage at city is 11-13 km/L and in highway is run below 100 than 17-18 km/L if 120-150 than 12-13 km/L. I also used first gen i-20 petrol around 1.5 year of my uncle, than give me very low mileage 9-11 km/L in city 12-14 km/L in highway. The Odometer is say 1,22,000 km. from last 3 years i rarely use this car, but still i didn’t face any issues in engine. Only some time my battery goes down. I drive this car maximum at 185 km/hr with full load 5 passengers from Ahmedabad to Vadora 90km express highway in 30-35 minutes. The stock tyre 175/65 r15 michelin xm2 change at 75,000 km than i upgraded with 195/60 r15 primacy 3st. Currently new 2020 honda city have also the same i-vtec engine. If u don’t have more run 15,000 km/year than go for this petrol version.

Best Features: Extremely good interior and with superb drive quality.

Pros: Ride quality, intirior & exterior dynamics, spacious, powerful (0-100km/h) in 9 sec and very low maintenance.

Cons: Bit over priced compared to competitors. Chassis build quality should be improved.

Its a very comfortable car, the mileage is very low for my liking but the engine is very powerful, the pickups are amazing in 2nd & 3rd gear it struggles a bit after crossing 180 but it should go above 200. Ground clearance is the biggest issue we face on Indian roads.

Best Features: I-VTEC Engine, Music system, Boot space, Rear Arm rest.

Pros: i like a lot of things about it, Its reliable, powerful, comfortable, good music system, seats are comfortable, boot space is amazing, its ready to go anytime.

Cons: The Ground clearance is the biggest issue we face in India, the mileage is too low in city(8-9 kmpl), parts of the car are very costly, suspension is very soft for high speed runs.
