While looking for our second family car, Upgrading from Innova and having Optra Magnum, we decided to go for Ford ikon 1.4 Duratec Deisel 2 days back( it was a great discount deal!) and having filled in papers and booking forms, when Myself and my wife came out of the Ford showroom, we saw the neighbourhood showroom of Honda, so we cacually walked in and saw the Honda City 1.5 Red Pearl colour, it was amazing! Just like a begger walking down the street and he is made to come into a big hall, made to sit on a throne and "crowned", so the begger becomes a KING, that;s what this car makes you feel the moment you enter it, the brand new, jsut relaunched in OCtober 2009.SO when you becomes the King, you are like top of the world and this car inside is WOW.
Anyway, we did 3 long test drives on manual and automatic same day and same stretch, to see the ups/ downs.the Automatic version is just great, it makes you left hand tottally free and left leg free, giving you 50% of your body actually there to enjoy! the Automatic version makes you feel like you are driving your Throne around your Kingdom and everyone around says "SALAAM"
The pick and accelreation is great, even on up hill and down hill, you dont need to push more of power. The Displays are good and seat(driver) on self owner is also excellent. Rear Seat has good Leg Height and are all confortable. Inside is abs silent.Brakes very efficient, with ABS and EBD.ECU engine immobilser are good add ons.
One thing about others reviews, now this model has Alloy Wheels as standard.I like the black and Red pearl colours, they are stunning!
Front Fog lamps, silver finishing on the inner door handles are new features.
I am checking out the prices and discounts, so final decision in a day, Anyone: your special comments and those who have already bought, do you agree/ disagree?Lets share info.
