This is one of the best comparos for top Sedans. I have a 4th Gen City CVT and can confirm the excessive noise issue. The suspension in 4th Gen City is much harder than 5th Gen. Not good for highways. Additionally, the CVT is worst for mountains and overtaking. If at all i go for another Sedan, it will be a Verna perhaps.

One thing most utuber miss is after market Brand audio system you can go with City even ifcko tokio gives insurance for after market Audio system , biggest issue in City is tyre pressure monitor warning , Noise is becuase of Vtec and City has worst damping . If someone buying city they need atleast 50k invest to make it perfect .
Sir I would not say it is Vichitra segment. Its one of the best segment exist. In market like fake SUV it the only TRUE segment with best drive quality and performance.
I don't know how i stumble on to your videos but jo kutch bola Sab sach bola i comment on your other video also for highway ride the verna relaxing because of the good cabin insulation. But i have problem with the steering nut and it was making somuch of rattling noise and the car was only driven for 5k km but its all good now and have driven about 36k km now but still feel sorry about not getting the turbo 😢
Suggest a car for family use which has an overall monthly running of 1k-1.5k kms (rural area). Which has good safety, good looks and above average mileage. Please suggest about should I buy a diesel or petol car ? (Planning on manual transmission) Confusion between Nexon, Sonet, venue and 3xo
@@atharvdivate21 nexon and 3xo tend to have niggles, if you can live with that then they make sense but if you want a hassle free experience for the hyundai or kia. Diesel in bs6 makes no sense in 1k kms a month with so many restrictions and stuff petrol would be fine but if you can live with cng that’s also a great option
@@vikrant_jadoun My dad wants mileage of minimum 13 Kmpl and I don't think Sonet, 3xo, Nexon, venue would consistently give mileage upward of 13 Kmpl in rural area. That's why thinking of switching to CNG or Diesel
@@atharvdivate21 see nothing will give you anything upward of 13 in petrol and suv combo consistently. The reason why i don’t recommend diesel is nitin sir is hell bend to completely ban it so it’s a bad bet, another thing is the regen issue with new bs6, it needs some highway running/high rpm driving to stay clear of regen issues. Why don’t you try a sedan maybe ? Take a test drive in your area and see if it scraps the belly, virtus salavia verna would be my picks just because the gc is higher and they have all the mileage and features you’d need. Same price range as the other cars
I purchased Verna SX 1.5NA IVT after watching your Verna IVT review. Test drove Verna and got a good discount on it as well. It felt really plush, supremely comfortable(in the back seats) and luxurious, almost like a D segment sedan! I like sedated driving and this car perfectly fits my style! While the mileage in horrid Bangalore traffic varies all the way from 5 to 12, on highways it has given me 18-21 consistently. So, I’ve reserved it only for highways, and use my Altroz diesel for city drive and occasional enthusiast drives. The only issue I found with Verna is that the lumbar support in front seats is pathetic. Observed it after 5-6k kms. Nothing that a ₹1k lumbar support pillow can’t solve but Hyundai could have done it better. City, while reliable, felt a bit noisy and not so premium for premium Honda was charging. Just like Sony tax, Honda is charging brand tax and profiting off their reputation. Thanks a bunch for such quality content! Keep up the good work! I just want to ask you to include after sales/service experience as well in your assessment going forward, as they play a crucial role in longevity of the car and helps the uninformed first time purchasers take the right decisions. As much as I love my Altroz, Tata service centre guys make sure to dampen my trust in Tata. So much so that now I genuinely ask people not to buy Tata cars though they have such good cars.
What would have been honda city mileage in Bangalore it will like verna or more ? How much discount you got for verna pls share ,now for honda city it's 70000 plus offer , am checking between city and verna NA which Will be good please suggest
I saw your video about Verna NA and bought one earlier this year. Thanks for your good work! Can you please make a video for getting better fuel efficiency from NA. I feel my verna 2024 is giving very low mileage lately. Initially after I bought it used to give 3-4 km more per ltr. On highway dashboard showing 21-22 constantly but after 450-500 km trip, petrol tank becoming almost finished. So an honest video from you would be appreciated on how to improve mileage from cvt or ivt with AC mostly on.
@@NavarathnaSB the honda feels a little eager in stop go traffic but it’s great on highways, the hyundai’s cvt is smoother at low speeds and the sound insulation is better. Anyway the decider for me was the cooled seats and the cabin experience, which hyundai almost makes you feel like you are sitting in something that’s a segment above. So i would say take a test drive of both vehicles, i did as well and that should give you an idea of the cabin engine and insulation and the cooled seats! That’s where you’ll have more clarity. I personally went for verna na in sxo variant with manual transmission and to me that made the most sense out of all these 4 cars (not ciaz)
while goin for NA.. y see anything other than Honda... as its baap of making NA engines throughout da world.. in their segment and if u goin for manual then.. Honda also makes segment best gear shifters.. don't mind but Korean Hyundai is toyish infront of legendary japnese Honda .. I'm owner of 2 Hyundais, Toyota and a Honda... seats r also best in segment.. u feel sitting in a sports car
@@DriverX-JDM driving a car is an experience and while the engine could be "baap" as you like to call it, the cabin is not insulated enough, the tyres are skinny, the display is ancient, music system is okayish at best, there is no ventilation.and it was the only car that midly sceapped unladen from a bump near my place where all others laden did not. I'm not married to hyundai and Honda we habe both and I've test drived all 4 cars. honda city doesn't make sense if you look at it as complete package, it's a good car for a lot of people but it's lacking in creature comfort features. And even though Honda's service network is fine the service it self is lower than hyundai which is lower than maruti and Toyota. As of suspension it's felt too soft during the test ride so much so I'd probably not drive it as fast as any other three, verna is second softest in the segment so it's not too far behind from the city. Yes you'll find it nice to drive but you'll reach every where with a sweaty back. You shouldn't be married to a car brand to turn a blind eye on things you'd use on daily basis and only focus on 1 2 aspects of a vehicle.

I can confirm this is exactly true in all sense. Mai abhi is segment ki gadiya dekh rha tha to sari hi test drive li. Aapne jo bate batayi hai exactly right hai. City me engine noise itna hai jitna mere grand i10 me bhi nhi aata. 2000 rpm pe hi andar noise aane lagta hai. I almost confirmed city but ambient noise ki wajah se cancel hui. Virtus uski cheap plastic and rattling noise ki wajah se and low AC cooling too. Same with Slavia. In dono ka city me mileage bhi bohot hi jyada kam hai. Overall is segment ki best gadi mere liye Hyundai Verna thi. Mai pehle bhi Hyundai chala rha hu to fit n finish as well plastic quality is top notch in Hyundai.
jab yehi awaaz Royal Enfield mein aati hai aur Ferrari mein ati hai toh bde uth uth kar dekhte log... agar Honda mein Vtec sporty note provide kar raha hai budget mein toh noise ban jata hai 😂😂 sae hai
I have three questions 1. VW 1.5 TSI vs Hyundai/Kia 1.5 TGDI, which one is more reliable on standalone engine basis 2. VW 1.5 DSG vs Hyundai 1.5 DCT, which overall engine transmission combination is more reliable for long term usage, say 10-13 years 3. You've had a 1.4 TGDI seltos, did you face any major/minor mechanical faults in that car? Thanks 🙏
1.5 TSI from VW grp is used not only in India but in global markets too. Even a 1.0 Tsi was used in base models of Audi's. If maintained well with regular service through authorized dealer then there won't be issues. Regarding the gearbox, again the whole problem of DSG in VW came when they paired it with diesel, with the petrol unlikely such problems will occur. I've heard Hyundai has used reverse engineering to build the DCT. So I guess the reliability part itself is self explanatory based on the fact I stated.
Sir, really appreciate your knowledge on cars and the information on your channel. Require your advise as I am planning to buy a car for my father, 67 years old, Doctor by profession in Hyderabad. Previously owned Cars: Skoda Fabia Diesel, Honda City Petrol, Skoda Laura Diesel Manual, Skoda Superb 1st Gen. Present Car since past 7 years: Skoda Superb Diesel AT 2.0 L&K Too many issues with Car AC, suspension, Parts replacement and service experience is horrible even though I have been associated with Skoda cars for past 15 years. Extremely disappointed and want to change the car immediately. Daily Running: Home to Hospital A and Hospital B and back in City conditions. Approx 30 km everyday. Occasional Highway trips (once in 3 months) Requirement: Require Top-end variant of car with Punchy performance and comfortable seats and classy interiors, easy maneuverability, and reliable car for a period of 6-7 years. Preferrence: Petrol Automatic only Budget: upto 35 Lakhs, 7 seater also okay if needed,
@ thanks for the valuable suggestion sir. If it should be a car which is NOT a 7 seater then what is my best option ? seltos X line, Creta N line, Virtus Top end 1.5, Tuscon ?
@@edemouploads2364 thanks for the update even in some review they said automatic have mileage issues and manual have turbo lag in cities and clutch issues later part. Yes it's mentioned as 1.5 is better
@@DriveShrive as I told bro I'm getting a fine deal not this much depreciation I'm asking that is it worth the upgrade as I test ridden both cars even one after other I didn't noticed as big performance gap what's your take on this bro
So basically verna is the iphone of sedans, does everything moderately good without being terrible at anything, looks are again, nice to some(I'm fan honestly) and some like the old designs
@@DriveShrive don't worry brother i drive one, and I've never been more satisfied with a vehicle as an experience before. Yes it's not the best in almost anything but as a complete package, dwag you basically have a merc at that price, I don't even have the dct turbo, the NA mannual for me feels just so right everything else feels cheap(thanks the same noise isolation)
@@DriveShrive the model which i bought sxo had the led lights. Lower variants get projector setup. The led throw and spread is fine, i’d say intensity is low. It’s low but not in adequate, you get used to it and it’s for the better, your high beams and dippers are not as blinding and it forces you to learn how to drive at night better with road reflectors and strips. What i feel about the car as a whole is the verna has sufficient feature set and safety for novice drivers but same feature set turns into excellent grade for expert drivers because they can get the most out of same set of features/engines. On that note most NA engines also teach you how to properly build power and torque which most turbos don’t so a good NA engine might feel boring or lacking punch to someone who only drove turbos, same engine could feel sufficiently powered for someone who knows how to build power/plan overtakes. Same for head lights, i rarely ever switch to high beams. Btw i took the verna to 152 and god it felt so stable, yeah you will get some movement but cmon the car feels like it’s not even trying, completely calm
Also, coming from the Linea, I always feel all cars in this segment have so so suspension (now). Do you think swapping the springs from the hybrid city on my NA city will make it better?
Suggest a car for family use which has an overall monthly running of 1k-1.5k kms (rural area). Which has good safety, good looks and above average mileage. Please suggest about should I buy a diesel or petol car ? (Planning on manual transmission) Confusion between Nexon, Sonet, venue and 3xo.
Virtus is best in overall if you are looking for automatic torque converter… I did test drive of all 4 sedans and purchased Virtus last week… enjoying each and every minute driving Virtus ❤
When you can't shop steering from one company, engine from another company, tyres from one more company ....... Why this video except for academic interest. Why not suggest a car that out weighs the other ones in most of the important issues that a car should possess
You can't have the best car or anything on this planet so the point is, see your priorities, some have steering some prefer suspension comfort inside city and so on. Choose the one which fits your needs the best

Not good for highways. Additionally, the CVT is worst for mountains and overtaking. If at all i go for another Sedan, it will be a Verna perhaps.
Use the paddle shifters bro. I use AMT in mountains without issues. Cvt should be even better.

@@kirankumarmrjain City!
@@DriveShrive Thanks is Virtus not matches city reliability and ride?
One thing most utuber miss is after market Brand audio system you can go with City even ifcko tokio gives insurance for after market Audio system , biggest issue in City is tyre pressure monitor warning , Noise is becuase of Vtec and City has worst damping . If someone buying city they need atleast 50k invest to make it perfect .
Install treel and get rid of city’s, virtus/Slavia lowline tpms
ppl actually don't how to turn tyre pressure warning system off.. once u fix the pressure... u hv to turn it off manually from instrument cluster
Hello, do you reckon putting Rogerab suspension cushers on the Verna will help fix it's handling and rough road manners ?
Not handling, it will only fix the suspension bottoming out! But it will move around more at City speeds
@@DriveShrive thank you
Hello brother which is better Creta NA petrol manual or Honda CIty NA ivtec Petrol manual? I am bit confused.
Honda NA king
Are the honda city points valid for 4th gen facelift model as well? Any major difference to consider if planning for a used honda city 4th gen?
@@dineshghadge842 suspension is the main difference which has improved a lot in 5th gen, rest is almost similar
It moved from 4 to 5 stars in 5th gen
Super review loved it, my verna❤
Sir I would not say it is Vichitra segment. Its one of the best segment exist. In market like fake SUV it the only TRUE segment with best drive quality and performance.
Vichitra means alag. Because of market movement, ye sideline hogya hai and yes, it is a true segment unlike crossovers
I don't know how i stumble on to your videos but jo kutch bola Sab sach bola i comment on your other video also for highway ride the verna relaxing because of the good cabin insulation. But i have problem with the steering nut and it was making somuch of rattling noise and the car was only driven for 5k km but its all good now and have driven about 36k km now but still feel sorry about not getting the turbo 😢

Confusion between Nexon, Sonet, venue and 3xo
Go for Nexon iCNG
@@atharvdivate21 nexon and 3xo tend to have niggles, if you can live with that then they make sense but if you want a hassle free experience for the hyundai or kia. Diesel in bs6 makes no sense in 1k kms a month with so many restrictions and stuff petrol would be fine but if you can live with cng that’s also a great option
@@vikrant_jadoun I'm confused between
1.2L petrol Sonet HTK (O) :- 11L
Or Punch CNG accomplished+ :- 10.5L
Or Somet Diesel HTK (O) :- 12.5L
@@vikrant_jadoun My dad wants mileage of minimum 13 Kmpl and I don't think Sonet, 3xo, Nexon, venue would consistently give mileage upward of 13 Kmpl in rural area.
That's why thinking of switching to CNG or Diesel
@@atharvdivate21 see nothing will give you anything upward of 13 in petrol and suv combo consistently. The reason why i don’t recommend diesel is nitin sir is hell bend to completely ban it so it’s a bad bet, another thing is the regen issue with new bs6, it needs some highway running/high rpm driving to stay clear of regen issues. Why don’t you try a sedan maybe ? Take a test drive in your area and see if it scraps the belly, virtus salavia verna would be my picks just because the gc is higher and they have all the mileage and features you’d need. Same price range as the other cars
One should go for budget car like sonet or go for seltos type suv by increasing their budget by 3 lakhs, please advise
If you don't need the extra kneeroom, save 3lakhs! Car is a depreciating asset
Use that 3 lakhs as petrol , service and toll expenses 😊
Priorities are mileage (daily 80-100km drive), safety, driving experience suggest me a car under 15 lakh and one between 15-17 lakh. Please reply.
New Dzire.
I purchased Verna SX 1.5NA IVT after watching your Verna IVT review.
Test drove Verna and got a good discount on it as well. It felt really plush, supremely comfortable(in the back seats) and luxurious, almost like a D segment sedan! I like sedated driving and this car perfectly fits my style! While the mileage in horrid Bangalore traffic varies all the way from 5 to 12, on highways it has given me 18-21 consistently. So, I’ve reserved it only for highways, and use my Altroz diesel for city drive and occasional enthusiast drives. The only issue I found with Verna is that the lumbar support in front seats is pathetic. Observed it after 5-6k kms. Nothing that a ₹1k lumbar support pillow can’t solve but Hyundai could have done it better.
City, while reliable, felt a bit noisy and not so premium for premium Honda was charging. Just like Sony tax, Honda is charging brand tax and profiting off their reputation.
Thanks a bunch for such quality content! Keep up the good work! I just want to ask you to include after sales/service experience as well in your assessment going forward, as they play a crucial role in longevity of the car and helps the uninformed first time purchasers take the right decisions.
As much as I love my Altroz, Tata service centre guys make sure to dampen my trust in Tata. So much so that now I genuinely ask people not to buy Tata cars though they have such good cars.
What would have been honda city mileage in Bangalore it will like verna or more ? How much discount you got for verna pls share ,now for honda city it's 70000 plus offer , am checking between city and verna NA which Will be good please suggest
@@kirankumarmrjain it would be around the same, maybe +1kmpl in City.
I got 90k off on my Verna.
@@kirankumarmrjain Honda is baap of NA engines.. no brand can beat their performance & mileage combo
& vtec is not noisy.. that sound is honey to ears for car enthusiasts... proper sports car feel it provides
@@DriverX-JDM not at all denying the quality of the ivtec. Insulation was not to my liking.
I saw your video about Verna NA and bought one earlier this year. Thanks for your good work! Can you please make a video for getting better fuel efficiency from NA. I feel my verna 2024 is giving very low mileage lately. Initially after I bought it used to give 3-4 km more per ltr. On highway dashboard showing 21-22 constantly but after 450-500 km trip, petrol tank becoming almost finished. So an honest video from you would be appreciated on how to improve mileage from cvt or ivt with AC mostly on.
2 things lead to less efficiency sometimes are air filter and spark plugs. Check them if both accumulated dust or something.
Hi please suggest between Honda city and Verna NA 70% in city drive 30% in highway
@@NavarathnaSB the honda feels a little eager in stop go traffic but it’s great on highways, the hyundai’s cvt is smoother at low speeds and the sound insulation is better. Anyway the decider for me was the cooled seats and the cabin experience, which hyundai almost makes you feel like you are sitting in something that’s a segment above. So i would say take a test drive of both vehicles, i did as well and that should give you an idea of the cabin engine and insulation and the cooled seats! That’s where you’ll have more clarity. I personally went for verna na in sxo variant with manual transmission and to me that made the most sense out of all these 4 cars (not ciaz)
while goin for NA.. y see anything other than Honda... as its baap of making NA engines throughout da world.. in their segment and if u goin for manual then.. Honda also makes segment best gear shifters.. don't mind but Korean Hyundai is toyish infront of legendary japnese Honda .. I'm owner of 2 Hyundais, Toyota and a Honda... seats r also best in segment.. u feel sitting in a sports car
@@DriverX-JDM driving a car is an experience and while the engine could be "baap" as you like to call it, the cabin is not insulated enough, the tyres are skinny, the display is ancient, music system is okayish at best, there is no ventilation.and it was the only car that midly sceapped unladen from a bump near my place where all others laden did not. I'm not married to hyundai and Honda we habe both and I've test drived all 4 cars. honda city doesn't make sense if you look at it as complete package, it's a good car for a lot of people but it's lacking in creature comfort features. And even though Honda's service network is fine the service it self is lower than hyundai which is lower than maruti and Toyota. As of suspension it's felt too soft during the test ride so much so I'd probably not drive it as fast as any other three, verna is second softest in the segment so it's not too far behind from the city. Yes you'll find it nice to drive but you'll reach every where with a sweaty back. You shouldn't be married to a car brand to turn a blind eye on things you'd use on daily basis and only focus on 1 2 aspects of a vehicle.
@@vikrant_jadoun I also hv 2 Hyundais and a Toyota at my house... I'm also telling from my experience...

I can confirm this is exactly true in all sense. Mai abhi is segment ki gadiya dekh rha tha to sari hi test drive li. Aapne jo bate batayi hai exactly right hai. City me engine noise itna hai jitna mere grand i10 me bhi nhi aata. 2000 rpm pe hi andar noise aane lagta hai. I almost confirmed city but ambient noise ki wajah se cancel hui. Virtus uski cheap plastic and rattling noise ki wajah se and low AC cooling too. Same with Slavia. In dono ka city me mileage bhi bohot hi jyada kam hai. Overall is segment ki best gadi mere liye Hyundai Verna thi.
Mai pehle bhi Hyundai chala rha hu to fit n finish as well plastic quality is top notch in Hyundai.
jab yehi awaaz Royal Enfield mein aati hai aur Ferrari mein ati hai toh bde uth uth kar dekhte log... agar Honda mein Vtec sporty note provide kar raha hai budget mein toh noise ban jata hai 😂😂 sae hai
Don't mind but Hyundai is a Joke infront of Honda

Bro which car are you using?
your research and information are class apart, appreciate your effort,👏
kindly suggest front armrest for new swift zxi plus ags 2024 model.
I have three questions
1. VW 1.5 TSI vs Hyundai/Kia 1.5 TGDI, which one is more reliable on standalone engine basis
2. VW 1.5 DSG vs Hyundai 1.5 DCT, which overall engine transmission combination is more reliable for long term usage, say 10-13 years
3. You've had a 1.4 TGDI seltos, did you face any major/minor mechanical faults in that car?
Thanks 🙏
@@jstatm4 1. Same
2. Same
3. No
1.5 TSI from VW grp is used not only in India but in global markets too. Even a 1.0 Tsi was used in base models of Audi's. If maintained well with regular service through authorized dealer then there won't be issues. Regarding the gearbox, again the whole problem of DSG in VW came when they paired it with diesel, with the petrol unlikely such problems will occur. I've heard Hyundai has used reverse engineering to build the DCT. So I guess the reliability part itself is self explanatory based on the fact I stated.

Sir, really appreciate your knowledge on cars and the information on your channel.
Require your advise as I am planning to buy a car for my father, 67 years old, Doctor by profession in Hyderabad.
Previously owned Cars: Skoda Fabia Diesel, Honda City Petrol, Skoda Laura Diesel Manual, Skoda Superb 1st Gen.
Present Car since past 7 years: Skoda Superb Diesel AT 2.0 L&K
Too many issues with Car AC, suspension, Parts replacement and service experience is horrible even though I have been associated with Skoda cars for past 15 years. Extremely disappointed and want to change the car immediately.
Daily Running: Home to Hospital A and Hospital B and back in City conditions. Approx 30 km everyday. Occasional Highway trips (once in 3 months)
Requirement: Require Top-end variant of car with Punchy performance and comfortable seats and classy interiors, easy maneuverability, and reliable car for a period of 6-7 years.
Preferrence: Petrol Automatic only
Budget: upto 35 Lakhs, 7 seater also okay if needed,
@@Apuroop4life apart from classy interiors, most of your requirements will be solved by Innova Hycross especially the reliability part.

Bro i purchased 1.0 slavia at rejected 1.5 just for dsg issue it's been 1 year with 1.0 slavia now is it worth it to upgrade on 1.5 slavia now
Is it manual or automatic ,did you faced turbo lag issues in city drive

@@edemouploads2364 thanks for the update even in some review they said automatic have mileage issues and manual have turbo lag in cities and clutch issues later part. Yes it's mentioned as 1.5 is better
You want more mileage or performance? As changing the car will cost you around 5-6 lakhs in depreciation+upgrade
@@DriveShrive as I told bro I'm getting a fine deal not this much depreciation I'm asking that is it worth the upgrade as I test ridden both cars even one after other I didn't noticed as big performance gap what's your take on this bro
You missed honda city EV noise and cabin insulation?
Engine noise is less but rest of the insulation is same
My slavia manual , clutch plate also burnt out
Wish you've seen this video earlier
Sedan is good for place like Delhi NCR where roads are good.Other cities are full of bumpy,pot hole filled roads ,hence people prefer SUV
Honda AMAZE ?

Honda city is better than 1.0 turbo and Verna. 1.5 gti is best but expensive
What about Tata tigor sedan?
It is a tiago which i already reviewed recently
City is best, and rough and tough car.

You missed the point about features and cabin environment
@@niteshshakya7278 that depends on the variant people choose thats why
So basically verna is the iphone of sedans, does everything moderately good without being terrible at anything, looks are again, nice to some(I'm fan honestly) and some like the old designs
@@vikrant_jadoun very good in insulating the cabin! The sales of Verna are down because most people can't digest the looks
@@DriveShrive don't worry brother i drive one, and I've never been more satisfied with a vehicle as an experience before. Yes it's not the best in almost anything but as a complete package, dwag you basically have a merc at that price, I don't even have the dct turbo, the NA mannual for me feels just so right everything else feels cheap(thanks the same noise isolation)
Great ✌️ hows the headlight performance?
@@DriveShrive the model which i bought sxo had the led lights. Lower variants get projector setup. The led throw and spread is fine, i’d say intensity is low. It’s low but not in adequate, you get used to it and it’s for the better, your high beams and dippers are not as blinding and it forces you to learn how to drive at night better with road reflectors and strips. What i feel about the car as a whole is the verna has sufficient feature set and safety for novice drivers but same feature set turns into excellent grade for expert drivers because they can get the most out of same set of features/engines. On that note most NA engines also teach you how to properly build power and torque which most turbos don’t so a good NA engine might feel boring or lacking punch to someone who only drove turbos, same engine could feel sufficiently powered for someone who knows how to build power/plan overtakes. Same for head lights, i rarely ever switch to high beams. Btw i took the verna to 152 and god it felt so stable, yeah you will get some movement but cmon the car feels like it’s not even trying, completely calm
@@vikrant_jadoun I asked about the headlights as it's the only thing which I didn't like in it. 🙃
City me errors low battery pe aate hai just like fiats pe check airbags aate the 😅
Also, coming from the Linea, I always feel all cars in this segment have so so suspension (now). Do you think swapping the springs from the hybrid city on my NA city will make it better?
