Honda Sedans

Do you like Honda sedans? Thinking about buying of Honda City as the second car. Judging by the rewiews of the owners, it has improved wheels, large cabin and imressive performance. What about the cons of having this car? My friend said the diesel modification doesn't have an automatic transmission. Is it true?

No. I don't like them. I know they get good gas mileage.

They are good. Largely because of the 4 doors and Honda reliability. Vague questions get vague answers.

I like that they are a cheap alternative to other cars for people who want nothing other than to get to their destination. Cons are that you can't find it in anything other than an empty parking lot, and there's incredible aftermarket support

All depends what year and model your talking about.
The new turbo models are awesome. Decent power, roomy and comfy.

Most new Hondas are pretty ugly. I don't care what's going on underneath, I'm not the type of person to drive an ugly car.

Don't think they have Acura in India. Maybe Indiana. India? Naw.

For reference: https://www.hondacarindia.com/honda-city

Wiki says it is based on Honda' small car architecture, which underpins the Fit/ Jazz. So it should be a good car, unless Honda is using lax government regulation to their advantage to cut stuff from the platform so it is more affordable.

OP an 86/ BRZ enthusiast? It's is an odd question, especially as I'm not seeing the 86 as being an option in India. Subaru isn't in the Region, apparently. Unless I'm wrong. Troll or bot?

I like how modern Hondas look. If I needed a large car, I'd get the Odyssey. If I had a family, I'd get either the Civic 5-Door or splurge for the Accord 2.0T.

The new accord 2.0t with a 6 speed manual is awesome.

You guys are crazy.

I used to have a 2017 Honda Fit.

Great little car, amazing gas mileage. Touch screen infotainment was somewhat annoying, CVT wasn't too bad (still not a fan of CVT's though). Decent power, interior was roomy, magic seats were super awesome, it didn't really give off a super cheap vibe to me (was well built and hard plastics abound but didn't really feel that cheap). Center armrest was designed stupidly too low (its lower than the door armrest) making it kinda pointless. Seats were OK for the most part, but not the most comfortable.

My '06 Honda Civic has done what I expected quite well, which is be a comfortable driving, safe, decent looking commuter car, and do it as inexpensively as possible.
