Honda City

Ever since its launch in late 2008, the new City has been a huge success for Honda. Infact before the Brio it was Honda's bread and butter. The City is a car that you, me and everyone else is familiar with. In various forms, the City has won many followers over the years. After its 2008 debut, the new look City went straight at the top of the charts. It was easy to see why as it had futuristic looks, a spacious cabin, good quality interiors and ofcourse the fantastic Honda engine and great after sales service. However, recently, things have started to change. The price of petrol has climbed steadily and consumers have started to feel the pinch. That has led to the shifting in favour of diesel cars and here Honda was found wanting. The Vento and the new Verna with their diesel engines stole the City's crown. Honda knows that the best way to combat this is to make the City even more value for money. That is what exactly they have done with the new face-lifted City. It has got a mild change in looks and some new features plus a starting price of Rs 6.99 lakh. We drove the top-spec manual variant in and around parts of Delhi. So, does the new City get back its crown? Let’s see.
