Finally I got a chance to take a ride of new Honda City iVTEC. I drove other Honda cars before and they never disappointed me. With great hopes I started the ride in 4 lane highway of Mysore Road. This Honda City with iVTEC technology engine gives it more muscle than the prior models. Let me tell you some facts about this nice car:
Looks:
The new Honda city has a very stylish and classy look.Although, a lot of people love the older city, with its sedate 20th century grand old dame saloon look, I prefer this because it looks more aerodynamic and an Integrated engine with ZX series. The Headlights are also very elegant and crystal clear.
Space and Comfort:
The comfort is just fantastic! There is lots of leg room in the front and rear seats. I feel that the comfort and space is good as it is in Skoda Octavia and we get it for 5 lakh lesser too. There is more than enough space for 5 and maybe a child squeezed in too. In my opinion compared to the old Honda City this flavor is roomy and very comfortable. The headspace is good enough for a 6ft tall person. And now coming to the Dashboard, it is packed with advanced looking Instrumental Panel with classy looks. In short I can say you will love it in first sight.
Mileage:
With the new i-VTEC Engine the fuel efficiency is improved compared to the earlier VTEC engine and the car gives an average mileage of 14 km per litre on roads and roughly 17 km per litre on highways which I feel is very nice in its class.
Power and Engine:
The New Honda City is equipped with a well refined 1.5L, 1497cc, 4 cylinder i-VTEC petrol engine with the 5-speed manual transmission gearbox and produces power 118 PS @ 6600rpm. On the other hand it delivers a torque of 146Nm at the rate of 4800 rpm.The i-VTEC Engine provides superior efficiency of the car. The Engine noise can hardly be heard when the motor runs which tells us that the Engine is designed nicely.

Pick Up:
When I test drove the car the drive was so smooth and the pick up was just awesome. It took around 11 seconds for 0-100kmph and the top speed is around 172kmph
Handling and Safety:
The handling of Honda cars is one of the best I have ever felt. With the ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) and EBD (Electronic Brake Force Distribution) technologies, instant braking has a good safety. The basic model of the car also has 2 Airbags for safety .The car provides a decent ride on Indian roads
