2003 Honda City review from Indonesia
"A very reliable and comfortable compact car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car is very reliable and comfortable to drive. I am very lucky to have an opportunity to have this car.
General comments?
I bought this car when Honda first introduced the totally new Honda City. They put a revolutionary i-DSI engine which has 2 spark plugs instead of one on each cylinder.
The result is very impressive as its fuel consumption is the lowest in the market. With 1 L gasoline, it can run for 18kms (inter-city) and 14 kms (inner-city).
The cabin is very roomy with a very large front and rear glasses. Air conditioner and standard audio equipment are fantastic.
The exterior is very revolutionary with a very large rear baggage. Honda puts the fuel tank at the bottom of the car instead of at the bottom of the baggage foom.
The i-DSI engine sufficiently produces enough power (there are two engine variants, an efficient i-DSI and a powerful VTEC).
The resale value is the best amongst its competitors.
