Which dealer for Honda in Bangalore- Dakshin or Whitefield Honda

[jacobgeorge]

Hi bhpians from Bangalore

I have decided to buy a City CVT and wanted to know from other owners of Honda as to which of the two dealers is better from a buying as well as ownership experience. I have been dealing with Dakshin and the interest from their side seems to be lukewarm. They dont seem to be proactive or very keen on selling. Typically you would expect the sales person to keep calling you but in this case, I am the one whos calling for trade in, for loan details, stock details etc. I havent booked yet for this reason.

From a service perspective, I am wondering how good/bad they could be once I bought the car if they are already so indifferent.

Any opinions on Whitefield Honda?

My experience was the opposite. Whitefield honda's response was lukewarm and not forthcoming. Infact the AutoTerrace (Honda's trade in division) guys were arrogant had even had the audacity to quote a dismally low value for my trade in car.

Eventually I bought my NHC from Dakshin. My experience was good and uneventful. I find the post-sales service levels good. The sales person I dealt with was Ms Shipa.

Particular to the CVT, somewhere in this forum I read that there is no stock available and new stock is expected in Jan/Feb 2008. This could be the reason for the cold response.

Hi alabjarus,
How is the City VTEC performing? Do you recommend the City VTEC or the CIVIC 1.8S? I am in a dilemma on this. A common complaint with all Indian Civic owners is the low ground clearance. Is there a difference compared to City?

Well there are threads available for both of these topics. Please do a search. I found Whitefield Honda better.

You cannot compare the City & the Civic. They are two different segments.
