Still after years,Fiat Linea is as long these cars, had 185mm ground clearance with one of the best handling, and turbo petrol too with 125bhp! Although I bought A Honda city ivtec in December, but still Linea was way ahead of every other sedan in that era

[@speakamreet12345]

I own city 5th gen and get mileage of around 11 12 in city(stay in heavily traffic area) and 18+ in highway. Never faced issues with ground clearance. I intentionally tested in bad patches and high speed breakers with 4 adults. Butter smooth engine and ivtec roar is pleasant to the ears. Only downside I felt is the sound system which could have been slightly improved and the rear camera.

[@gautama9712]

I personally own a city, No offence the old cars in the family - Ford ikon , Lancer and the Old baleno offers much better back seat comfort than the new city . Probably cos they are heavy . My mom prefers the old Baleno when we have to travel to our native villages .

A fair comparison would be when one includes the pricing too for eg the top model City CVT Zx comes at around 18.change where as the Skoda Slavia is around 21 change on road. The 1.5 Slavia is miles ahead and also pricey , the sunroof comes in the VX model of the city which is 16 change on road where as the Slavia gives the sunroof at 18 on road with a 1 litre 3 cylinder engine , both models automatic ofcourse. Honda offers more value for money and durability with a 1.5 4 cylinder engine , maybe these things won't matter when new but as time goes by a better Engine with an extra cylinder will be more lasting and durable. Hondas maintenance will definitely be less than the Slavias. Its a personal choice ultimately but if one goes for sensibilities than looks then City would be more apt . To each his own.

[@docgbsmule8712]

Nicely explained. The burden of turbo on a 1 litre 3 cylinder engine will be felt by the owner only after a few thousand kilometres and by that time, it will be too late to regret.
