Hondas petrol and Toyotas diesel engines last forever. That’s why they sell most in US market. We Indians should respect Honda and Toyota. Maybe they lack features but their mechanical parts are top notch. Still waiting for launch of civic and accord. And also I feel bad for 10 year diesel car rule and 15 year petrol car rule. These cars can last for 25-30 years if maintained well. Govt should charge a nominal fee for fitness test for old vehicles and let them run.

[@atulpandey6500]

For ppl who love to drive, virtus 1.5L turbo engine is the king in this segment. Add to this superior handling of virtus and city is no where close to virtus or slavia when it comes to being a drivers car

[@atulpandey6500]

@@varunsrivatsa4183 ofcourse it's a great engine on high rpm but this engine also sounds good plus has around 50 extra horses. Driving dynamics are also not that good in case of city so as of today virtus and slavia are the obvious choice for a driving enthusiasts. Significantly better driving dynamics and engine. Yet better practicality due to much better ground clearance. City would still be more reliable but it's not like other two have bad reliability based on which driving enthusiasts would reject these

[@bharathb4803]

@@atulpandey6500 "City is no where close to Virtus". I absolutely diagree. Practically, City is far better than Virtus. Which is what Faisal has said too. Please test drive (like really long.. half day or more) in City and Virtus. You would know the feel. The feel is important than the specs.

[@atulpandey6500]

@@bharathb4803 virtus and slavia have as much cabin space as city plus they have 180mm ground clearance compared 160mm in city. Active cylinder tech means that the 1.5 turbo gives even better mileage than NA engine in city so not sure what practicality you are looking for and not getting in virtus 🤣 Coming to feel, city feels great when you rev it to high rpms but that's where the story starts and ends. Saying a japnese 115hp engine has more feel compared to a German 150hp engine is just absurd. Japanese are known to make boring but reliable engines and Europeans are opposite. They can fail in reliability but never compromise on driving fun. Right now city is just an outdated product for anyone who can afford to buy the 1.5 virtus and slavia. It's also not at all practical due to pathetic ground clearance.

[@bharathb4803]

@@atulpandey6500 I guess you have never driven a Honda City. That's why all of those hatred. It has 165 mm gc, not 160mm. Vento and Rapid has much lower gc. Active cylinder "technology" is crap when compared to the proven NA engines. There's a reason Honda and Lamborghini prefers NA over turbos, which you absolutely don't understand! German cars usually suck at making engines! You don't know anything realistic than their specs. Take a test drive on Honda City, Virtus and Slavia. And moreover, PRICE is the practicality too. Interiors - City has more luxury, Merc feel. Virtus GT is good too, the seat doesn't give the greater stance. Suspension - City wins here without a doubt. You're not going to race with a C-class sedan, than enjoying the ride with friends and families. Don't be a spec-guy, face the reality!

[@arjunajikumar5053]

Honda city white is fantastic And the vtec magic is wow

[@juyaalamitfederal]

City VX CVT will save you close to 2L over Virtus 1L Topline AT.. City aces on reliability, engine grunt, interior fit and finish, mileage, extended warranties upto 10yrs and resale value! Virtus offers just a bit more better suspension, ride & handling, road noise insulation and oodles of snob feel! Cost cutting is more evident on new VW/Skoda with low grades plastics in interiors, non-alloy spare wheels and lesser remote key features! Choose wisely

[@Sharath_V]

I am a Service Engineer in Honda and i can tell you for a fact that cost cutting is 10x more when you compare old and new city and less evident when you compare vento and Virtus. It also boils down to the shear technology used in VW the engine and it is far more lively and has peak torque at 1800rpm which will be used always ans City has peak torque at 4400 rpm which is used 20% of the time. I can Jeep in going on this for a long time and I have done my part of analysis and booked Virtus over City Even though I would get good discount on city

[@juyaalamitfederal]

Even I went for Slavia 1L AT..it's a pleasure to drive and everytime I start the ignition, it brings a smile to my face..clocked in 3k plus kms within 1month..getting a city mileage of 14-15kmpl..It's peppy, fun and fast! Built, driving dynamics and engine power puts it at the top of its segment!

[@shashwatdhaon98]

@@juyaalamitfederal Obviously the City is a better car! Virtus looks like a disproportionate toy with it's higher ground clearance. Not good for a sedan! He does 0-100 kmph on the Honda City in 9 secs. It's even faster than the Rapid, Vento and the Polo. Honda City 5th gen with manual transmission is on par with VW'S 1.5 TSI when it comes to performance and acceleration, how about that? 😅 One thing is clear from this video, Virtus/Slavia is shit and clearly overpriced. They don't even have the characteristic VW build quality. Now that the 2023 facelift City is out with ADAS, there's absolutely no reason to go for the Virtus/Slavia for a sane person. City does every aspect better now!

[@abatra006]

Two weeks ago, I bought Honda City VMT which is base model and it is my first car, in fact the first car in my family. I actually booked Breeza top model thinking the upgrade would be similar to Baleno and the price increment would also be in that range. I was disappointed with the price, plus the waiting time irked me. What I did after that is I took test drives of a lot of cars in different segments and finalised City. Great safety(5 star in asean ncap, 4 airbags in base model), best reliability, smooth engine, great build quality and material considering price, it speaks premium, and the space and openness you feel made me do it. Features and all are not really necessary for me although when you are giving a touch screen and CarPlay, just provide wireless connectivity as well. Just ask customers if the want Honda connect or Wireless CarPlay, they would prefer wireless CarPlay any day. Coming onto Virtus, although I agree with you that the sheer handling of Virtus is far better because I said the same thing within 10 seconds, but the point you made about music system is I think is incorrect. Virtus(top model) has better music system, in terms of audio performance as well.

[@himanshutanwani_]

Booked VW Virtus Topline AT a week ago, reasons over City - 1. Build / weight in Doors, Hood is significantly better than city. 2. AT in virtus masks the Turbo Lag which is there in Manual. 3. Ground Clearance, 100% agree with Faisal, Ride quality over bad patches is amazing. 4. Suspension & Driving Dynamics. Virtus is definitely much more composed at higher speeds, steering is tad bit on softer side than one would have preferred, though city's steering is even softer. There is more frequent thud sound from City's suspension in sharp potholes. 5. Infotainment - Much better, slick, with Wireless AA and carplay (more useful than one would think). *Bonus - Also has some "features" like ventilated seats and wireless charging. The ZX city doesn't gains much updates from base (V MT is really worth every penny tbh). Advantages of City over Virtus - 1. Engine. Without question - It is a better engine in terms of refinement, long term reliability, Fun! (7k+ rpms) and no AC issues. 2. Seats and interior Feel - The seats in City, especially the front driver and passenger seats are very comfortable and the cabin does feels roomier (perhaps because of beige interior?). Though not a fan of the way infotainment is integrated in the Dash, Virtus executes that bit better. 3. No worries once you drive it out of showroom. As Faisal said, No EPC errors, no random rattles (Lots of people faced this in Kushaq). In virtus, you are left at VWs mercy. As Faisal said, both products have their set of compromises. My requirements were - 1. AT - Point Virtus. 2. Highway speeds stability (no bouncing) - Point Virtus. 3. Ground Clearance (good to have) - Point Virtus 4. Long term reliability (kept last car, i20, for 11 years) - Point City Conclusion - Ended up booking Virtus because - 1. 5th gen city, for me, didn't live up to the hype and I do feel older generations of city are more deserving of that excitement than the current one. 2. Not going to rev the engine like the maniac always or even on overtakes (where city shines, though the ivtec is more thirsty which caused Honda to give skinnier tyres to city, ended up affecting it's braking as well). Also, if I revved to 7k for overtakes, my dad will kill me. 3. Vw's 1.0L TSI engine is actually very good and is in no way a compromise. It doesn't has vibrations like other 3 cylinder engines. Has really good mid range pulls for highway speed overtakes. Agree with faisal about the issues with long clutch travel and initial turbo lag, which is very well covered if you go for AT. 4. Left at VWs mercy for quality control, EPC errors, AC, etc. therefore getting extended warranty. Hoping to get delivery of my Virtus before they shrink the infotainment. The fear is real. That being said, if my requirement would have been Manual instead of AT, the choice would have been much more difficult for me since I would love to own a VTEC car, the sound of it at Higher RPMs is addictive.

The city shows the problem with Honda. It’s like Kodak and Nokia when they failed to realise the importance of DSLRs and Touchscreen phones and had to go bankrupt. Same is the case with Honda. You can’t sell a car today just in the name of reliability. Even VWs are pretty reliable and depends on how you maintain the car. But the VW is light years ahead of the Honda in terms of features specs and build quality. Honda should take this into notice or else it may soon have to take the Ford way.

Honda City is the most Reliable And tested car for Sedan segment in India nd the engine is the most trusted and maintenance free in the segment....where as VW is now Providing 3 cylinder engine across the Variant and model after the emissions norms issues which feels Lack in power nd you need to accelerate aggressively all the time to overtake. And the CVT gearbox of HONDA is for those people who want comfort over madness and CVT is the most Trusted gearbox across the automatic gearbox segment for such light weight Vehicles nd There is no doubt why many Doctors prefer Honda City Over any other cars. CVT is the only gearbox which provides more Milage than Mannual due to its effortless gear change , Yea I agree that there are some Rubber band effect while shifting aggressively but the Paddle shifters And the extra Sports mode does the job. And if you are are person who prioritise comfort and Softer driven car then Honda City is the Best In this segment. The Afte sales service , parts availability , cost of maintanence etc are almost half in Honda Comparing to VW. And The VTEC motor naturally aspirated 1.5 lit engine mannual Honda city Can touch 115 kmph just by using 2nd gear.

Please add slavia as well, we would love to see all 3 in one frame, waiting for the video. Bless you 😊

City anyday reliable faster economical. Old comparison videos were lit af like midsegment sedan comparions and previous city vs previous creta. Those videos were edited so beautifully i watch them again and again.

City also has it's own set of problems.

Every car has some problems for city the engine is reliable as compared to the issues cropping up in skoda and vw.

[@AdityaKumar-jv1js]

@@pankajtaunk2737 You really think that? The Virtus and Slavia re new cars built on new platforms so it will definitely have some problems. But apart from their DSGs, they are as good as Honda. I like how you clearly ignored the paint quality and the materials used in City, they use the cheapest grade materials in their cars. Engine reliability doesn't make a car perfect

[@sarangsp1591]

@@pankajtaunk2737 I guess you have never heard of City's paint quality issues and the parts used inside the cars. They use the cheapest materials, lots of issues have cropped up regarding this

I think you dont know about the rattling issues in kushaq and slavias interiors. Every car manufacturer is cutting costs what matters to me is i should not get stranded between the road while driving my new vehicle which some people nowadays are facing with germans.

[@visitrohitbag]

i think, the 4th honda city looks better than both of these two.

[@cospinkristijan2267]

And then the old Monte carlo looks more elegant than the 4th gen city

[@comicfellow]

The 4th gen Honda City had a lot of minor glitches which added up, making it the weakest of the last 3 gens. 3rd gen had solid build but lacked ground clearance and had iffy suspension. 4th gen had the ground clearance but had too many cost-cutting bits and un-Honda-like issues like rain seepage, premature rusting, etc. 5th gen is actually the better City in terms of size, features, clearance and the most refined i-Vtec engine ever. They listened to customer feedback and made a lot of changes, like making AC controls non-touch again. But the 5th gen needs better tyres, better head-unit, better cameras and better insulation. However, all these can be done aftermarket, as long as the engine-gearbox is awesome, and that is why Honda is one of the most mod-friendly cars out there.

Hey Faisal, long time fan. A thing that I recently found out about non-adjustable head rests for rear passengers especially in cars like city, is that its there for safety purpose. They are designed so that the rear passengers don't get whiplash injury, allowing city to get a better overall safety rating. So I believe you should also mention that when talking about them.

[@joshdhiwa]

Ha ha cost cutting

[@gowherulislam5480]

But y rear headrests r given in other products of Honda worldwide

[@tokikiba1311]

@@gowherulislam5480 maybe because in India most owners sit in the backseat. And Indians are very safety conscious so Honda does this in Indian products to have that tiny edge. But why don't they mention this. Never heard any auto reviews mention this point.

[@dr.narasimhareddy4726]

Adjustable or not, that's the purpose of head rests. Adjustable ones allow us to raise or lower them according to our height. Fixed ones are just cost cutting

[@ganeshkulkarni]

I test drove City and Virtus, and City gave a more confident driving experience than Virtus. It feels a richer, more elegant car when inside. Some bells and whistles are better in Virtus. I especially liked the auto stop-start feature in Virtus which automatically stops engine when you stop at signals and starts again as soon as you lift foot from the brake. It’s just magical. But looking at the new buyer complaints of the VW/Skoda owners, these cars feel like 15-20 lakh gamble. City is just better in this regard. The biggest miss in City for me was 360° camera (rear display in infotainment system) while driving. I would have also loved wireless  Carplay. City also doesn’t have the new safety features added to City Hybrid. Without features like these, City felt an old car. But for those who like to own for life and want a drama-free ownership experience, I think City has no match. What I would have really loved for my requirements is a Honda compact SUV (which is not WRV) with City-like engine, reliability, and all intelligent features of City Hybrid.

[@rohithps8473]
