It looks equally premium and is equally latest, and may be better FE. It won’t be a whole segment below Altis and Civic but rather in the segment of Optra and Cidia, this currently is the best VFM segment. It will cost much lesser then Altis, so if I want to keep my EMI low then I might go for City3. Any one opting for lowest model of Civic or Altis can opt to go for highest model of 'City3', which will at least have better features then Civic Sports (And E) which are : stereo controls mounted on steering and blinkers on OVRMs and yes Alloys (not in E) if things are good then even 'pedal shifts' (now imagine) (. Civic will be low on features in front of Altis, until they get newer variants at lesser price, with more features, it will face a hard time. I already see on face of Honda salesmen when talking about Altis, they become speechless.
Why do people want indicators on OVRMs? OVRMs are very prone to damage by bikers & other vehicles specially in heavy traffic. For me, indicators there will only make the OVRMs even more expensive than they already are and I dont see much utility of it. I mean there already are indicators at front, back & sides. Except for maybe some style statement is there any utility in those?

Sorry I think I have gone
