Honda drives the city

Improvements are carried over to the car’s interior as well. Honda had set itself a challenge to exceed every expectation and raise the benchmark further. With the old Honda City already at the top of its game when it came to interiors, it was a pleasant surprise to notice that the new car has managed to up the ante. The steering wheel is a la Civic with audio controls and paddle shifts for the automatic version. The two tone color combination looks grand and the vertically stacked central console features an advanced integrated iPod compatible audio system. The city scores big on convenience with a central armrest for the rear passengers and plenty of cubbyholes. The seats were a bit of a disappointment for my size as the front seats don’t go too far back. The 1.5 liter i-VETC engine with 118 ponnies on offer is a step forward in the right direction and the city is finally a match for its competitors.
