Performance:

Well To say the least this car is very sleek and streamlined. This makes the car a very speedy and it just zooms in like anything. The car has a really well built robust engine which gives the 1.5L machine a grind at high speeds. The i-VTEC architecture is the new technology that Honda has used. The car is very sturdy at higher speeds and goes up to a comfortable 160 Km per hour which is fast! The car ride, the control, the handling and the interiors have been really revolutionized to an A-grade level. The car is this freaking quick on highways but you would feel as if you were just cruising along nicely, all this is because of the refined and no noise making engine. The handling in this car is just superb. The car is way too good in the suspension system area and is truly luxurious. Talking about luxury, the car has absolutely wonderful interiors with high tech consoles and controls all installed perfectly. Easy access to the controls in the car cabin makes this a driver’s car. But having said this, the seating at the rear end are also very comfortable. The car is gorgeous from inside and very roomy too. I don’t have to mention about the control and handling now that I have mentioned so much about ride quality but just to touch the topic I would say that this car is absolutely gripping and will give you absolute control. This petrol engine will give you max control and the 5 speed manual transmission will make your gear shift very smooth. Honda really has come up with an ace machine.

Overview:

Yes, Honda has come up with a really mean machine giving you a perfect ride. The car is a complete package nonetheless, and will live up to all the expectation that one has from the brand named Honda. This car is so well built that you will just love to ride it, as well as sit in the back seat and enjoy the pleasure of a classy luxury sedan. Honda City V MT has it all and trust me it is one of the best machine comprising the golden mean of both power, performance and style.
