Bought Slavia 6 months back when it was launched. What a car!! Looks, handling, ride quality, features, space and comfort all in one. That being said Virtus is pretty much the same however I loved Slavia's looks more compared to Virtus. Personal choice. Honda City is a forever gem. I would have bought it had Slavia been launched few months later. It is the most comfortable of the 3. However Slavia and Virtus are better all rounders. Basically all 3 are top sedans
@@diysai The space is pretty much the same when it comes to rear seat. Hardly any difference so that shouldn't be a deal breaker when choosing any one of the 3. All 3 are almost equally wide and will provide equal space in terms of leg room and shoulder room. However the plus city has is that the seats I felt in city are more comfortable and cushiony compared to Slavia and Virtus. On the flipside the plus Slavia and Virtus has was that the center arm rest was much stable and better compared to city and the rear seat headrest is adjustable. Also Slavia and Virtus have foldable rear seats which city doesn't. It is an added advantage if you are carrying some luggage from one place to another. Now coming to the question that whether 3 people can fit comfortably. The answer to that I would say is it depends on how the 3 people are built. If its 3 well built fully grown men then they can still sit but the shoulder room might be a bit of a problem. However if it is 3 normal built people or 2 well built and 1 smaller sized person then it is relatively comfortable. Mind you I am talking only shoulder room here. Leg room is ample. That isn't a problem. Eg my family has my father mother wife and a son. So usually it is my wife, mother and son sitting in rear seat or my father, mother and son. They are all around in the range of 5'4 to 5'8 height and I can definitely say that they sit with full comfort.
@@ishraqsyed8999 lol.. virtus and slavia are 4+1 and city is 5 seater car… know the difference… I had driven them all and also checked the rear seat comfort and space. City surpasses them all.
@@diysai Also please refrain from listening to guys like this Lallu who has commented just above this particular comment. They have 0 knowledge and experience but 100 percent confidence.
Slavia and virtue r great cars but one thing they still will have to prove in years to come is how reliable they prove themselves because City is an international reliable product and if i want to invest my hard earned 15 lakh in a car, I would pick City, but yes for enthusiastic people virtue and slavia r better
Are you fine or any problem? German cars are most safe and reliable and best built quality no one can match. I'm owning a Vento for last 10 yrs have run 1.8 Lakh km. Safest car. Met couple of incidents but least damage tocar and passanger. Stop that negative marketing of best cars happening for years now. City is garbage car in terms of built quality handling and safety. Get over
Fantastic review. I liked the balanced and no-nonsense approach in the review with no unnecessary screaming or loud background music while speaking and using unnecessary adjectives in between. You just focused on the stuff that matters - 👍. Of course, it is presented very nicely as well. Keep it up! 👍
Brought civic in 2008 polo in 2012 n 5th gen city in 2020( never thought of getting skoda ) let me tell u five years from now city resale value would be combined of resale skoda n VW vehicles together 😅
It's a fact that inspite of the clear advantages that Virtus and Slavia have over City, you get to see more Honda City's on the road than the Virtus and Slavia put together. Has to do with the trust that consumers have on Honda over Volkswagen and Skoda!!
@@NareshKumar-mz5nr The point I made was for the same segment of cars and not generic. Slavia, Virtus, Verna, Ciaz and City fall under the same category and the optics on road are for everyone to see.
City any day … in Bharat 🇮🇳 you want reliability , economy n engine that proves its strength… I have driven Vw now for 11 years but peace of mind was not there in terms of cost of ownership but Honda has given that peace of mind … city has enough space n comfort than these both … n actually the interiors are much premium in terms of fit n finish … already there are rattling issues in both of these new cars … n I have been using city for over a year run 23000kms n it’s not just fun n peppy but fast n economical too … Honda is Honda any day
If you are ready to spend extra money for performance go for Virtus/ Slavia 1.5 litre with DSG. Otherwise go for City manual. No point in going for 1 litre turbo. It will give you thrills sporadically but will feel underpowered below 2000 rpm because at that rpm it’s a 1 litre car that is quite heavy!
nice info, I am planning to buy slavia 1L and mostly for town purpose where i drive car below 2000rpm. so should i consider my option again? because if not slavia then I will look for compact suvs like creta because of ground clearance.
I have the Taigun GT and I completely agree with the driver side window malfunction from time to time. When you expect it go up automatically it sometimes doesn’t and rolls back down which can annoying at times. VW can do better.
We know a fair amount of VW/Skoda owners facing this and it's not something buyers should be facing at any price point, let alone in a fairly premium segment. We suggest pushing your service centre to find a fix.
For a car enthusiast it’s a no brainer Slavia or virtus definitely But for majority of the population who are putting in 15 lakhs and need reliability in terms of maintainence and resale then certainly the Honda city
Very nice and informative video... great comparision with clear explanations... I was almost fix for Virtus VW.. now confused between Virtus and Slavia..🤷♂
Love Virtus but I am hesitant to buy any VW car , as last time with Vento I had a horrible experience with their service. Just because of service issues, I would pick city.

I agree with everything except cheap to maintain. Honda City's service cost is very high in Bangalore especially, we get charged around minimum 6k per service which is every 6 months and sometimes they charge us 15k per service. EVERY 6 MONTHS 6K. Other than that it's a great car

I got my self an Octavia 4 years back and have been incredibly happy . But safe to bet if had the option of a 4 cylinder slavia back then which I could get for 6 7 lakhs cheaper I would probably have opted for that.
26:09 I have the exact same issue in my Skoda Slavia (Style) 1.0 MT. When you try to bring up the window, it goes down first then when you press up again, it finally goes up.
I faced same issue with window on my VW vento. Surprisingly the service centre never admitted this as a manufacturing issue. Good I came to know this issue is a common one in VW.
In my phase of making my decision, inclined to the VW as of now and your insights on the comparison have indeed helped. Good job and keep up the good talk Karan. Cheers AutoX!
Bought a VW Virtus 1.0 TSI a month ago after trying the Slavia & City & I'm happy to say, it's one of the best engines out there. Fun, fast and smooth all over. Yes it does have issues like the Mileage & Seating capacity at the back, but for a small family, it's a great car. Cabin is quiet for those who ask. Auto engine off when in 🚦, I'd say they still need to work on front seat comfort, seat belts are an issue, you got to really struggle to fix it in coz of the Arm rest. Yes the one touch Window does have an issue, took it to the service centre and they didn't have a clue either. Lol.
There are some niggles in virtus & salvia when they are launched, at present they are sorted out or not? Second this part’s availability & service issue & cop operation with customers is not so good by VW & Škoda will u clarify it
Good review without any unnecessary words. Good point shooted on the Slavia ac operating touch button is a true point. Whereas Honda City design of rotating switches is simply awesome. Good points you brought in. Thanks for the video brother. God bless you.
@@aamadmi2890 Expecting the same..!

I have a question 1.5 dsg comes with dq200 gearbox which is basically the dry one. And if we see the history of this gear box the vehicle had heating issues . So would like to know if this issue still persist?
Only time will tell. Cheaper DSG systems (like DQ 200) are never reliable in Indian road conditions. This is why Skoda replaced DQ 200 in Octavia with DQ 381.

Going for VW Virtus Highline 1.0 TSI.. seems most of the required features are covered in Highline model and it's quite some value for money. Thanks for the review. Was bit caught up whether to go for City or Virtus or Slavia. But being a VW fan, choosing Virtus over Slavia
@@deepakkapoor1544 Good choice! I myself am mulling over Virtus Topline 1.0. It is such a classy looking car. The Virtus is also pricier than the Slavia by quite a lot now, and for me at least, the interiors are better than Slavia when you see both in person. A lot of people complaining about the effectiveness of the A/C in the Virtus. Have you faced any such issues?
We agree the features have been rejigged in view of the ongoing chip shortage. However, the Slavia's premium quotient is not limited just to its infotainment screen size. From the feel of the plastics used inside to the switchgear, the Slavia's cabin feels a lot more premium.
Honda mechanicals with the manual gearbox like the 1.0 TSI with manual gearbox is well sorted out. If you have lots of good luck, spare change and time, go with the CVT and DSG.
I own the virtus 1.5 gt and I can vouch that the window roll up problem is very common and very very annoying. Spending 20 lakhs on a car with such a simple yet stupid problem makes you wonder about the quality in the long term. Also loved the fact that you pointed out the problem with the AC controls. It is very distracting and being honest a bit dangerous and risky for long distances and highway drives. And my personal opinion is that virtus is a 4 seater and not a 5 seater unless there is a child in the middle. The foam on the ends of both rear seats hold you well but with 3 rear passengers there isn’t enough shoulder room and I’m a fairly wide guy and it’s very uncomfortable even for short distances. 26:31 great video tho ❤
@@sibi1011 depends on how you drive, drove it to Ludhiana and got 17.5 kmpl but in city is usually around 8-10 kmpl. It guzzles petrol, especially when you accelerate it hard then it comes down to 5-7 kmpl

Virtus is so cool and sporty.. and Slavia is elegant.. I find Virtus better than Slavia while driving.. but with interior wise.. it is Slavia.. But I’ll go for Virtus 1.5 Manual.. coz I’m an Car enthusiast..
Nice video… city is too old school for youngsters… vw & skoda both are beast products .. took test drive of all three.. driving pleasure is just insane in the german duo .. going for slavia!!

10:40 nope, there are so many other reasons, but roads aren't one of them. . . Many years back we hardly had any roads and still people brought sedans, now that roads have been so much better/and continue to improve, especially the highways, people want SUVs 🤷🏻♂️, . .
I was all gaga over the previous generation Honda city. It looked awesome from outside. But i was really disappointed with the build quality, the plastics weren't great for me. Hyundai Verna was a much better car especially Diesel version before slavia and Virtus came into the market. Verna diesel has been always a good bet
@GT Suryateja go cry vw bhakts Honda city is not built on a cheap platform like virtus and slavia Honda doesn't needs to learn from vag to make cars they are better on their own They have vtec and vtec tubro and ivtec which are ground breaking technology not like audi in disguise vw's
@@aswinanil3462 agreed. wider tyres, better bigger infotainment, better speakers, better engine, better build???, better GC, bigger sun roof, boot space and split seats. I would give city points for comfort, best AC console IMO, all four windows are one-touch auto, Better efficient, low GC mean lower body roll and cornering stabilty, (done in zigwheels comparison), better plastics
Bought Slavia 6 months back when it was launched. What a car!! Looks, handling, ride quality, features, space and comfort all in one.

How about the rear passenger space? Does it fit 3 comfortably? Is the Honda city wider?
@@diysai The space is pretty much the same when it comes to rear seat. Hardly any difference so that shouldn't be a deal breaker when choosing any one of the 3.
All 3 are almost equally wide and will provide equal space in terms of leg room and shoulder room. However the plus city has is that the seats I felt in city are more comfortable and cushiony compared to Slavia and Virtus. On the flipside the plus Slavia and Virtus has was that the center arm rest was much stable and better compared to city and the rear seat headrest is adjustable. Also Slavia and Virtus have foldable rear seats which city doesn't. It is an added advantage if you are carrying some luggage from one place to another.
Now coming to the question that whether 3 people can fit comfortably. The answer to that I would say is it depends on how the 3 people are built. If its 3 well built fully grown men then they can still sit but the shoulder room might be a bit of a problem. However if it is 3 normal built people or 2 well built and 1 smaller sized person then it is relatively comfortable. Mind you I am talking only shoulder room here. Leg room is ample. That isn't a problem.
Eg my family has my father mother wife and a son. So usually it is my wife, mother and son sitting in rear seat or my father, mother and son. They are all around in the range of 5'4 to 5'8 height and I can definitely say that they sit with full comfort.

I got my self an Octavia 4 years back and have been incredibly happy . But safe to bet if had the option of a 4 cylinder slavia back then which I could get for 6 7 lakhs cheaper I would probably have opted for that.
You can still get one 😉
2:23 Honda City has fan speed regulator for rear AC vents as well. Extra point for CITY
City offers cruise control which is not explained here in video, Using cruise is just a another fun drive in which other cars doesn't have this
All three cars offers cruise control.!
I face the same problem of Driver side window roll up/down in my Taigun GT+. Infact all the windows are too much noisy when rolling them up/down
Virtus is the best looking car among them.
We think so too!
26:09 I have the exact same issue in my Skoda Slavia (Style) 1.0 MT. When you try to bring up the window, it goes down first then when you press up again, it finally goes up.

Best choice bro
I faced same issue with window on my VW vento. Surprisingly the service centre never admitted this as a manufacturing issue. Good I came to know this issue is a common one in VW.
I've faced same issue. And as you said, VW workshops never admit it. They just say they'll replace the device it is an electronic issue
yea it's good wen its common.. this is de motto of German cars 🤣
Tip: You might want to avoid standing in middle it frame and hide one of the 3 cars completely.
Thanks!
In my phase of making my decision, inclined to the VW as of now and your insights on the comparison have indeed helped. Good job and keep up the good talk Karan. Cheers AutoX!
Thanks for watching!

HOW is dsg in bumper to bumper traffic
Why is the VERNA left out?
What a great comparison, so detailed. Loved it Karan sir💪🏼
We're glad you liked it Nitish!
where are the days of diesel automatics only the verna offers that would be great to see the germans offering the same
I wish there was a car with everything and we didn't have to choose, life would be so much simpler!
🤣
life is never simple... man
but Honda definitely best
Bought a VW Virtus 1.0 TSI a month ago after trying the Slavia & City & I'm happy to say, it's one of the best engines out there. Fun, fast and smooth all over. Yes it does have issues like the Mileage & Seating capacity at the back, but for a small family, it's a great car.
Cabin is quiet for those who ask.
Auto engine off when in 🚦, I'd say they still need to work on front seat comfort, seat belts are an issue, you got to really struggle to fix it in coz of the Arm rest.
Yes the one touch Window does have an issue, took it to the service centre and they didn't have a clue either. Lol.
Bro... Plz tell abt the downpayment n emi plz 🫵 n the final price
Bro r the problems fixed🤷🏻♂️
There are some niggles in virtus & salvia when they are launched, at present they are sorted out or not? Second this part’s availability & service issue & cop operation with customers is not so good by VW & Škoda will u clarify it
#Slavia specialy from back 🔥🔥🔥
Looks like a mini Octavia no? 😍
Help me pick. Slavia 1.0 or Virtus 1.0? And tell me why?
The Verna did put a smile on my face, but thevground clearance was an issue, you should do 1 with the verna
Driver side window issue faced by me in 2022 Škoda Kodiaq Sportline as well.
We suggest bringing this up with your service centre and pushing for it to get fixed.
Amazing review man , preferred your video to anything else out there doing comparisons but why’d you have to lie about your height ?
i hate you bro
Good review without any unnecessary words. Good point shooted on the Slavia ac operating touch button is a true point. Whereas Honda City design of rotating switches is simply awesome. Good points you brought in. Thanks for the video brother. God bless you.
Bhai virtus me pdlshftrs hai..
Will pick Slavia but Can't wait for updated Hyundai Verna 2023 😍🔥
🔥
Me too 🤞 hope they bring the more powerful turbo engine 1.4 litre of creta in verna’s lineup.
@@aamadmi2890 Expecting the same..! Since competitors(Slavia &Virtus) offers 1.5 L turbocharged DCT, Hyundai might consider bringing 1.4 turbo DCT with segment 1st features like ADAS, 360 ° Parking camera. Unfortunate that there won't be a MT for turbos but can't forget Hyundai's 1.5 CRDi is a lit in every way 🔥
I am not sure why you are comparing 1.0 liters engine with 1.5.
I have a question 1.5 dsg comes with dq200 gearbox which is basically the dry one. And if we see the history of this gear box the vehicle had heating issues . So would like to know if this issue still persist?
Only time will tell. Cheaper DSG systems (like DQ 200) are never reliable in Indian road conditions. This is why Skoda replaced DQ 200 in Octavia with DQ 381.
@@NilashishChakraborty so buying skoda or vw with DQ200 gear box will be good opinion? And if we see in india are buying these cars
@@chandershekharlohumi I am not an expert, but I would never buy Skoda or VM with DSG in this segment. There a far too many reports on DSG failure after 4 years, and in such cases, the only solution is replacement of the gearbox, which is very expensive.
However, the 1.5 Manuals of these cars are very nice. But my requirement was a reliable automatic, so I chose the City ZX CVT.
@@NilashishChakraborty ah okay. Then you would have compromised with the ground cleaning. It would be great if you can suggest an automatic car under 19lakhs . Which has good build quality good power , mileage and good features
Hi, I have an issue with my skoda rapid ambition plus 1.6 TDI CR
at 5311 km on 07-01-2015 i faced a issue with injector and suffered a lot And next at 6,675km on 22-01-2015 again i faced a problem with injector it’s a bad experience and next at 32268km again one injector issue and on 16-12-2017,20-12-2017 again and again glow plug indication and Again the glow plug indication came on 17-01-2018 On 5th Feb 2018 they have replaced the complete fuel system for Warning lamp issues at odometer reading of 35280. I followed the workshop instructions to fill fuel in good fuel station and i am filling in Bharath company owned fuel station Anna Nagar Chennai and workshop suggested Bharath fuel station in tirunelveli and maintained above quater tank . After replacing the fuel system my vehicle crosses 43,000kms and 4 years & 6 months. My vehicle has no issues in between time. Again on 19th Oct 2022 again the injector issue with the odometer reading of 78880 kms .
Yesterday after watching your review i have booked slavia 1.5 mt
Bhai mujhe to slavia 1.5 manual hi psnd h🔥💖
🔥🤘
Mujhe bhi ❤️
Going for VW Virtus Highline 1.0 TSI.. seems most of the required features are covered in Highline model and it's quite some value for money.
Thanks for the review. Was bit caught up whether to go for City or Virtus or Slavia. But being a VW fan, choosing Virtus over Slavia
Good choice, happy motoring!
City offers cruise control which is not explained here in video
@@vinayavpcg3155 there is cruise control feature in VW Virtus Highline variant as well.. i just bought it
@@deepakkapoor1544 Good choice! I myself am mulling over Virtus Topline 1.0. It is such a classy looking car.
The Virtus is also pricier than the Slavia by quite a lot now, and for me at least, the interiors are better than Slavia when you see both in person.
A lot of people complaining about the effectiveness of the A/C in the Virtus. Have you faced any such issues?
@@saurabhtare6176 AC issue is there but it's ignorable. If you disable Auto off, then it's working well for me
Does your opinion of Slavia feeling premium among the three still hold, after the reduction of the infotainment screen size?
We agree the features have been rejigged in view of the ongoing chip shortage. However, the Slavia's premium quotient is not limited just to its infotainment screen size. From the feel of the plastics used inside to the switchgear, the Slavia's cabin feels a lot more premium.
Does suitcase size is 200kg ,it made me think a little bit.
Hey I am confused between city 5th generation vmt and grand vitara sigma. Can you help?
Go for honda city 5th gen base model
Bro i guess skoda is Czech not a Germany, if im wrong please correct me
Similar driver side window issue with Kushaq
Wht u thinking about German cars as in reliability
Honda mechanicals with the manual gearbox like the 1.0 TSI with manual gearbox is well sorted out. If you have lots of good luck, spare change and time, go with the CVT and DSG.
I own the virtus 1.5 gt and I can vouch that the window roll up problem is very common and very very annoying. Spending 20 lakhs on a car with such a simple yet stupid problem makes you wonder about the quality in the long term. Also loved the fact that you pointed out the problem with the AC controls. It is very distracting and being honest a bit dangerous and risky for long distances and highway drives. And my personal opinion is that virtus is a 4 seater and not a 5 seater unless there is a child in the middle. The foam on the ends of both rear seats hold you well but with 3 rear passengers there isn’t enough shoulder room and I’m a fairly wide guy and it’s very uncomfortable even for short distances. 26:31 great video tho ❤
In practical what's the mileage that you get
@@sibi1011 depends on how you drive, drove it to Ludhiana and got 17.5 kmpl but in city is usually around 8-10 kmpl. It guzzles petrol, especially when you accelerate it hard then it comes down to 5-7 kmpl
@@MysterionM thanks bro, planning to buy virtus. Now I have to think about it
@@sibi1011 don’t get me wrong, it’s a lovely car especially in the sedan class but if you are worried about petrol consumption then sure there is no harm at looking for other options
@@MysterionM sure, for me it's a concern since I have to drive everyday to office in bangalore traffic it will be a concern. I have verna diesel which gives 20kms in city traffic. I am on a plan to upgrade
Hi How tall are u?
i own a kushaq 1ltr tsi mt... the window problem is just really frustrating!
my 5th gen. honda city given the 24kmpl milage in highway
Slavia removed the feature of wireless connectivity of android auto / apple car play before june itself
Yes but u don't buy car for it only right 🤷 it's for driving safety comfort is more important
Should I go for VW Virtus or Skoda Slavia ? (1.5 TSI)
Virtus is so cool and sporty.. and Slavia is elegant.. I find Virtus better than Slavia while driving.. but with interior wise.. it is Slavia.. But I’ll go for Virtus 1.5 Manual.. coz I’m an Car enthusiast..
Nice video… city is too old school for youngsters… vw & skoda both are beast products .. took test drive of all three.. driving pleasure is just insane in the german duo .. going for slavia!!
but Honda is wat always has been and is de talk of da town in western world.. let it b fast and furious movies or car journalists.. they comparing latest Civic type R with AUDIS, BMWs and wat not and choosing Honda out of em.. it's just your thought process which is old school actually.. just to make u feel better about your choice
What's the location, Chandigarh or noida?
200 kg, 300 kg and 500 kg suitcases. This guy smuggles lead?
occasionally
Why Ciaz was missed ?
Slavia screams class!! Virtus is a great pick for a sporty vibe, going for Slavia, loved the video!
Truly said.
Good review bro I’ll tell you why because you mentioned that the city nvh levels are high as this car has some great engine but now i am sure i am not the only one who felt the same, I have driven both slavia and city and skoda is far better then city trust me
U saying Honda engine makes more noise and vibration than VW and Slavia 3 cylinder engine? And city also has more insulation that boot and engine whereas Sala IA and Virtus don't.
@@rajsharma-wh2xx Yes even i was shocked this might be because of better cabin isolation in skoda
@@RahulJoshi-uv2xk nice! personally, I like virtus in terms of look but coz of maintenance and unreliability and cabin noise I m not sure. i m considering Honda City also but I don't like the city look and the interior looks very old . I saw many reviews on TH-cam where people say 3 cylinders make noise compared to 4 cylinders engine. and in cold start it makes noise. don't know the truth.
@@rajsharma-wh2xx Bro as a genuine advise never trust on anyone drive both cars and feel the difference might be your perspective could different from others
@@rajsharma-wh2xxtest drive both cars back to back if possible and then decide as that will give you a first hand feel of the driving dynamics. That should help you in taking a wise decision.
What’s mileage of all 3 cars ?
I would pick a Virtus gt anyday below 25lakh among all the cars available in India.
What about it's DSG RELIABILITY?
@@kpbabu4684 My running isn’t more than 5-6k a year . I would take the extended warranty and also it’s been said that VW has worked on the reliability factor of this transmission. I would still take my chances since I don’t like any car except this south of 40lakh in petrol cars. Also I am a sedan guy . So… 🤗
@@vipinsuriya007 🙏👍
@@vipinsuriya007 a great car for leisure riding for sure.
The Virtus/Slavia are the best driving sedans this side of Rs 25 lakh 🔥
10:40 nope, there are so many other reasons, but roads aren't one of them. . . Many years back we hardly had any roads and still people brought sedans, now that roads have been so much better/and continue to improve, especially the highways, people want SUVs 🤷🏻♂️, . .
City is incomparable
Yes because slavia and virtus are ahead of it !!
Virtus GT....I too have dis driver side issue...but it's like very rarely
Bro,Along with this sedan, can review Hyundai varna if possible, thanks
Power slavia ,comfort City
I bought honda city...grt experience
Honda City 👍
Better Best & Reliable Review ! Definite watch out for any Buyer who have these cars shortlisted ❤🎉
I was all gaga over the previous generation Honda city. It looked awesome from outside. But i was really disappointed with the build quality, the plastics weren't great for me. Hyundai Verna was a much better car especially Diesel version before slavia and Virtus came into the market. Verna diesel has been always a good bet
i don't understand why ppl say slavia and virtus aren't reliable i need elaboration
No one will take risk of buying Škoda or vW and spend again half of the car price on maintenance … city is the choice and reliable any day
Ok honda salesaman..don't cry
@@vsk906 man it's the truth ....
It's manufacturing in India so maintenance and service cost will be low not like before
@@ajayclement4861 The quality of cars are low because of that
@GT Suryateja go cry vw bhakts
Honda city is not built on a cheap platform like virtus and slavia
Honda doesn't needs to learn from vag to make cars they are better on their own
They have vtec and vtec tubro and ivtec which are ground breaking technology not like audi in disguise vw's
City is proven & durable mechanical works done with accuracy, no fancy shit only the practical features & it's definitely given in Honda City.....
They are biased towards virtus and slavia. I guess city backseat are the best
yup driven both. City's back seat is terrific
Because it's simply a better vehicle.
@@aswinanil3462 agreed. wider tyres, better bigger infotainment, better speakers, better engine, better build???, better GC, bigger sun roof, boot space and split seats.
I would give city points for comfort, best AC console IMO, all four windows are one-touch auto, Better efficient, low GC mean lower body roll and cornering stabilty, (done in zigwheels comparison), better plastics
Intro speech was dope 👏🏼👏🏼
Bhai ye kon si road hai jispe koi nhi aata
0:12 I think that's a reference from Enzo Ferrari.
Ok then, leave Automobile reviewing.. We have found our next Powerlifting Olympian for India.. 😜
