I guess in CIVIC's case the issue was more time tied, as that D&A(Day & Age) was not ready to embrace a Hybrid vehicle. More so Honda did not make even the slightest of attempts to promote those limited number of cars which they were trying to sell at a premium. Civic was, is & always be one of the variants which is loved by many & drooling over its futuristic & cool looks was an immediate side effect. Nuff Said! M&M is an organization to reckon with & I strongly believe they know it damm well how to strategize, so Verito as a product can have some hidden potential. More so India as a country is full of surprises what doesn’t work for me can work for someone else, therefore its darn hard to estimate.

Honda Diesels & Hyundai new launches hurting Volkswagen &Skoda?
esteem replied to reddy's topic in Indian Cars
I am sure VW & Skoda are not loosing there sleep just yet. As far as I estimate VW can come out all guns blazing whenever they want & can flood our market with newer models. I am sure they have something up there sleeves & wait for the right time. Besides the problem is more generic & I guess has nothing to do with newer models, its seems more ground up because they lack: 1. Service network & quality. 2. More expensive because no heavy localisation of parts which is currently 65% & shall be beefed up to at least 85%. 3. Trust, because there are way too many horror stories which daunt there reputation. -
@ reddy, oh mate that is such a sweet ride.

Yoko's will serve you just right, they have a great grip & have a great foot print. You will be served equally well by Michelin's too, however road noise is something you need to check. -
Honda city 2014 or Facelift Verna 2015
esteem replied to sarath19in's topic in AAA - Ask Autocar Anything
Hi sarath19in. I am no expert on diesel variants, thus will just limit my opinion to my own experience. Its been over an year now that I have been driving my Honda City & according to me please do not look beyond Honda. Why? well I have couple of reasons: 1. Mine is a petrol, therefore I can safely pro-claim that its a pleasure to drive & helps you enjoy a steady & true on road experience. 2. Verna, though is a great car & has many pro's, however according to my personal opinion its gets to wary & makes you feel extremely uneasy about your drive. 3. Honda is spacious & has an airy feel to it but just to an extent. However, Verna on the other sides can get claustrophobic for a few. I will second @bhavneet's opinion & will suggest Honda City. -
Hi Harikrish, I will second what Leo says. Innova is the best bet & indeed the front runner of the lot. I drive a Honda city & love the brand, however I strongly suggest not to buy a mobilio. Why? well the vehicle is such a mediocre effort & it completely destroys Honda's brand perception in India. Its rugged, uncomfortable & just a me too effort. Ertiga on the other hand has lost its sheen completely & comes nowhere close to an Innova.

I recently got an opportunity to experience Mobilio at one of the malls in Delhi. I drive a Honda (City) myself & have loved Honda all my life. However, Mobilio is such a downer & a disappointment & has so many week points which I believe are not synonym to the Honda Brand. I have always loved & admired Honda's built quality, however the Mobilio is such a wuss, cheap plastic, horrible finish, rough around the edges, it just doesn't feel right. Horrible under thigh support, seats have no cushioning & are extremely uncomfortable. Its just not airy & feels extremely claustrophobic, especially in the middle row. In my personal opinion this me too race has tarnished Honda's repute.

I am sorry but you I am sure have made a bargain. I am not sure the variant you drive however this added feature seems way to cool.
