Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Honda City
- Spacious cabin. Rear seat kneeroom rivals cars from a segment above.
- Best in segment interior quality
- Comfortable ride quality
- Updated exterior makes it more tempting
- ADAS standard in multiple variants
Honda Civic
- Safety. Four disc brakes, six airbags, and tech like vehicle stability management.
- Stunning design. Makes an impression equivalent to more expensive luxury cars.
- Ride and handling package. Tuned beautifully for India, the Civic laughs at potholes and broken roads while making you grin on the twisties.
- Build quality. A likeable blend of ‘built-to-last’ and luxury makes the Civic feel premium.

Honda City
- Lacks some ‘wow’ features like ventilated seats, powered driver seat, branded stereo
- Diesel motor is now discontinued
- Tight rear seat headroom
Honda Civic
- Petrol engine doesn’t get a manual, whereas the commuter diesel doesn’t get an automatic. Limits appeal for enthusiasts and urban commuters.
- Low seating position. Makes getting in and out tiresome for elderly or those with joint aches.
- Missing equipment. Front parking sensors, rear charging socket, electric adjust for co-driver’s seat are some of the bits that should’ve been bundled in.
