In all these years, the Honda City has been a benchmark when it comes to space on the inside. The current generation Honda City still manages to outclass all of its rivals when it comes to outright space and comfort on the inside, with a clear focus on the comfort of the occupants at the rear. The legroom and under-thigh support of the Honda City’s rear seat still manages to be in a league of cars from one segment above. The Honda City’s 1.5-litre petrol engine, despite being a decade old now, still has the sweetness and refinement which one would expect from an entry-level sedan. Not only this, the performance levels too is quite decent, and while it misses out the on the zing of the first-generation version, the engine still feels zesty enough to bring out the fun side of yours. With features like electric sunroof, full LED headlamps, leather upholstery, curtain airbags, and push-button start-stop system, the Honda City has got all the features at right places to make you feel that you have brought a premium car at its price. |
Striking Design – The Honda Civic’s sleek coupe-like styling and luxury sedan elements make it a real head-turner. Modern & Feature-Rich Interior – While not as futuristic as its eighth-gen predecessor, the tenth-gen Civic offers a well-equipped and comfortable cabin. VTEC Power & Performance – Retaining the 1.8L engine, the Civic also gets an optional 1.5L turbocharged petrol unit, delivering power akin to a 2.4L engine.

Things we don't like

While the arrow shot design still manages to impress everyone with its aerodynamic profile, the fact that this very design is in existence for almost a decade now makes it look a bit dated. The features like LED headlamps and machined alloy wheels do try to hide its age, but it still needs a refresh now, considering the fact that all of its competitors have been updated quite comprehensively in recent times. While the interior feels feature-rich and premium, the overall layout of the dashboard, as well as instrument console too, needs an upgrade. Some of the switches and plastics feel a bit low in quality, which do not go well with the overall premium theme of the car. |
Cramped Rear Cabin – Despite a spacious feel, rear legroom is decent at best, and headroom is limited due to the sloping roofline. CVT Dulls the Drive – The 1.8L engine delivers good power, but the CVT’s rubber-band effect reduces driving excitement. Paddle Shifters Help – While not a complete fix, paddle shifters add some engagement to the driving experience. |
