Tell me about it! I got the shock of my life yesterday when I decided to top up the TSI and was presented with a bill for 3,400 bucks! With the City, the max it ever took was 2,800. And that version had a 45 liter tank. | ||

40L x 12 kmpl = 480 kms [Range for Petrol City/City Driving] 40L x 16 kmpl = 640 kms [Range for Diesel City/City Driving] So for the Diesel the Range extremely good. | |

| ![]() Good point. I don't think anyone would mind much if they have to go to the petrol pump after every 500km. For most people that will be once a week which is quite acceptable considering the easy access to petrol pumps around us. |

| ![]() I understand that a big bill of INR 3.4K is lot when compared to INR 2.8K, but look at the positive side, you have to make fewer trips to the gas station, which I think is a big plus. |

How much does the underbody rust protection from 3M cost for the City? Last edited by vsrivatsa : 10th March 2014 at 19:26. | |

But there is no test drive TSI model available. Can only check the space in back and the service costs from the dealer. Sadly no CVT from honda also not available for test drive. I'm pretty much happy with the back seat of City. But the front seat, during test drive didn't look that comfortable for me (I am just under 6 feet tall). Probably I didnt adjust the seat correctly. Really confusing. If I'd a higher budget should have gone for the Hyundai Elantra Diesel Automatic. | |

I booked my Honda City petrol vx last month and expecting delivery around 23rd March. At the time of booking I too had a confusion between the City, Verna and the Vento. For me the back seat comfort is very important as it would be chauffeur driven with a 60:40 ratio in favor of chauffeur. The Verna was immediately ruled out due to pathetic back seat comfort. There was a confusion between the city and the Vento. However I chose the city for the following reasons:
All the best for your decision! | |

| ![]() Need some inputs on Honda Official Reverse Parking Sensor. I have booked White SV CVT. Honda earlier used to provide body coloured sensors. The person managing the accessory division however mentioned that Honda used to get complaints and so now they are only giving in Black colour reverse sensors. It is prices for about 6.5K. Having 4 black sensors on white car is something I'm not too keen on. He however mentioned that if I wanted, they could colour the sensors white to match the body colour. However, this would void the warranty as per Honda terms. He mentioned that painting them would not affect the sensitivity of sensors and they should just work fine. Not sure if I should trust his words. I've been really happy with the sensitivity of Honda official reverse sensors on my brother's earlier generation Honda City but not getting them in body coloured is a bummer I have 2 options: - Paint them white and have it installed and hope they continue to work as expected - Buy after market good sensors. I'm somehow not sure about the quality of after market sensors or which brand to go for here. Also, I believe, holes need to be drilled on bumper to install them and this is something I'm not too sure how the quality of the finish would be after market. I'm planning to hold off on boot spoiler ( 9.5K ) for now. Can have it installed later as well. Illuminated scuff plates are tempting. They are exorbitantly priced as noted earlier ( 5.5K ) |

Do not go for black only sensors as i have seen them on a white previous generation City and they spoil the back look of the car. Spoiler can be arranged easily from outside for 4k max. And there is no risk of any warranty void with them as well so i will say get it from outside which is exactly i am going to do with my SV city. Its also White in color. As for LED scuff plates here dealer is giving them for 5k. However, they can be easily sourced from sites like snapdeal, ebay etc for around 1500. Ftiting can be done DIY or from any accessory shop. | |

Illuminated scuff plates look good. I got them fitted from Honda, when I rolled out my new City around 1.5 years ago. 5.5K including showroom labor, is a expensive I agree, but I think Honda technicians do a good job fitting them, as that's what they do everyday on cars that they are familiar with. If you fit it from outside, make sure the technician is really good & knows what he is doing on a 10L+ car. | |

Under body rust protection is definable good and something I'm also planning to get it done from 3M. Quote:
Also, do you have picture of 3M mats? Is it the one posted here: http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/modifi...ct-review.html They do not look that appealing Quote:
I'll hold off on the spoiler. For scuff plates, I'm not sure if third party manufacturers have started making for the new City. Quote:
I think I'll probably go for the scuff plates from the dealer itself. I wish they had illuminated ones for rear panels as well. | ||||

For LED scuff plates I really want to know if the previous generation City and this one has same dimensions in that area. If it is then the same can be fitted easily. Plus point in getting them from outside is that all 4 doors will get illuminated ones where Honda is giving LED for only front doors. Fitting is easy through the dome light and any good accessory guy can do it. Spoiler I will wait and try to find a local accessory shop, otherwise I will procure it from the importer and get them fitted here. Mine is also SV model so do keep me posted whatever modifications you do which will be quite helpful to me and others. Delivery of my car is in April so near that I will do a complete survey of all accessory shops in Karolbagh and will post my findings here. | |
