Honda City review: what owners and experts say

Rear seat space

Strongly positivebased on 9 reviews

“I'm just under 5'8... I've got loads of knee room. And I'm sure even taller passengers would be just fine. They've got this lovely little rising footrest... does wonders to alleviate comfort”

Ride comfort

Strongly positivebased on 6 reviews

“the suspension feels on the softer side... third sound nahi hai. Aur peeche wale passengers ki feedback jo mere paas hai vo yahi hai ki gaddon mein yeh car bahut achhe se behave karti hai”

Air conditioning

Strongly positivebased on 5 reviews

“possibly the best AC controls in the segment or many segments around it. They make this lovely clickety motion when you rotate them and everything is easy and within reach”

Generally positivebased on 6 reviews

“the response is pretty intense and pretty instant as well because you press your foot and it just lunges ahead -- that's the battery and the engine working in tandem”
