Have been owning Honda city 2017 model ZX Cvt version from 8th of September 2017 . The ownership experience was simply awesome . Have clocked around 67k kms on its odo and is on its 3rd set of tiers . Not that tier wear was too much but I change tiers at 30k km so that suspension and breaking will be precise and average fuel economy will be at par with day one of ownership . Had been riding on 17 inch 8j alloys with first set of Hankook ventus from day one as I changed existing 16inch 185/55/16 tiers . Second set of tiers was chnaged at 37k kms with Bridgestone potenza tiers . Now at 67k kms I chnged to 16inch 7j BBS alloys with Hankook ventus 205/50/16 . Changed my first break pad set at 60k kms . Had been doing all services at Peninsular honda Trivandrum . Had booked honda city eHev and the car was allotted to me but I couldn’t fetch a good price for my existing car . At that point of time when I calculated the expenses occurred on my city for regular services . The overall service cost dint exceed 30k ₹ for all my services which were all scheduled routine service which include battery . 3 sets of tyers and alloys not included and even Accesories like Laser sun shades and OE K&N filter . The average fuel cost for 67 k kms 423991₹ . Getting an average of 14kmpl . I felt getting an eHev honda won’t make sense as I have to shed more than half of the money from my pocket even after selling my existing ride . So owning a honda city is just worth it. A new buyer who clicks more than 3k kms a month can go for a eHev else 5th Gen city is good . These are my thoughts .
