Didn't want another City; ended up bringing the 5th gen Honda City home

My dad was convinced he didn't want another City for sure, especially after everything we went through because of the belly scraping.

BHPian atharvanaikk recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Meet Viper, the newest member of our family:

I've read almost all the posts in this thread and thought maybe I should share my experience of buying the city as well.

I call her Viper. I'm the proud owner of another City ZX, although that's a 2007 City Dolphin. That's where all the "City" love began.

My dad was convinced he didn't want another City for sure, especially after everything we went through because of the belly scraping. After 5 years of using a Mahindra TUV300 for the same reason, one test drive with the 5th gen city changed his entire mindset.

And that's how Viper came home on the 28th of Jan 2022 and already has around 8.5k kms on the odo.

As for the changes I've done to the car so far, they are:

  • Satin black wrap on the front chrome bar and Honda logo.
  • 9H ceramic Coating on the entire body (Planning to go for PPF next year).
  • Indoor floor lamination.
  • Satin black wrap on the side mirrors.
  • Garware Sun control film on all windows and both front and back windshields (70%).

Future upgrades: Thinking of upsizing the tyres and finding a solution for the road noise, might end up getting door damping installed.
