Overall good car but poor mileage

It is a nicely built car with new bold looks, although little quirky compared to other Honda cars. I feel it is slightly underpowered for 1.2 ivtec, especially when you hit a speed breaker and needs to speed up, the engine does not see to co-operate with you, especially if you are in 4th, and downshift to 3rd or 2nd. Little disappointed over here, otherwise happy. For all its premium looks in the interior, it should have a better designed gearstick and the area around, at least in top end models. And yes, the city mileage barely touched 12, which is disappointing for 19.8 ARAI readings.
