Pros-

2. AC - Despite the fact that this vehicle misses out on automatic climate control, the overall performance from the AC is great and the owner has not faced any issues related to the AC performance so far.
3. Comfortable Ride and Seats - The suspension is tuned to deliver maximum comfort and the Honda City feels extremely comfortable on the bad roads. The seats too are soft and supportive.
4. Easy To Drive - The visibility from the driver's seat is great and driving this car in traffic or in the narrow roads is not a major challenge. Light-weight steering and an easy to operate clutch makes this vehicle a great choice for those who have high everyday running.
5. Interiors - There is more than enoughs pace inside the cabin and the passengers do not complain about lack of space at the rear. The legroom and the headroom at the front and at the rear is sufficient making a great car for long journies.

Cons-
1. Missing Features - Despite having an expensive price tag, the Honda City misses out on many essential features like automatic climate control, electrically controlled ORVM, etc.

With this being said, the owner recommends this car to those who are wanting a spacious and comfortable car for everyday usage.
