Overall, very happy with the car. About the engine, just one line- This is the best naturally aspirated engine in India- no matter the size.
BHPian saket77 recently shared this with other enthusiasts:
Update: The second service was due in last week of September and the same was completed. No complains/ no updates- just plain washing, checking underbody etc was done and took half the day. Just another boring day at service center is what you expect when you get a Honda.
The car currently stands at approx the 3000 kms mark and we took it for a long drive to Murshidabad. Close to 900 kms of return journey and the average FE came to about a staggering 20KMPL despite getting stuck in a one way village road of West Bengal for quite some time with lots of obstructions. In short, no progress beyond third gear for a good 85 kms. Still the car returned a very good fuel economy. Fuel is Rs. 106 in WB (Murshidabad) while it is Rs. 98 in JH. Due to good fuel efficiency of the car, we were able to skip the refueling in WB and refilled only in JH, saving good 8 Rs. per liter.
Another big plus is that again encountered some monstrous speed breakers but the car simply refuses to scrape the underbody- such a relief. Brakes are really good and progressive. Handling of the 16″ wheel profile is good and feels well in control while taking curves at high speeds. The 195s provide adequate grip- no complains here as well. The 15″ will definitely ride better in terms of comfort but the 16″ wheels are very good in the handling department.

Leaving you with a couple of shots of the car taken on the return route. Will try to do a short photologue of the place and post the rest of the pictures for the travel freaks.
Thanks.
