  Easy to drive and very comfortable sedan. A safe car, ideal for new car owners. The automatic petrol variant is excellent. I tested it over a few potholes, and it handled smoothly and remained stable throughout.

  Even though it’s a 2006 model, the Honda City continues to impress. The power and AC performance are truly wonderful. I absolutely love this car — it drives effortlessly and still feels great on the road. A solid, reliable vehicle that proves good cars never go out of style.

  It seems helpful for selling my car, and I might also buy a good car from them or from Cars24. The inspection is quick, but I’m not sure which option is best for me.
