dear sir,
My monthly running is around 800 kms (70% city, 30% highway) and hence I am looking for a petrol car around 11-12 lakhs OTR in Pune. Considering safe cars only, have shortlisted Brezza and Honda City 4th Generation.
I have taken test drives of both Brezza 2022 and Honda City with my mom in the back seat. Surprisingly we found Brezza more comfortable. The seating is more upright in Brezza while you have to recline in the City which I guess isn't good for back as well. Ingress/egress is better in Brezza as well. Also my mom confirmed that bad patches of road/potholes also are more felt in the Honda city in the back seat.
Am I missing/gone wrong somewhere? Honda city has ruled the sedan segment for decades and we found it uncomfortable. Also have seen a lot of your videos and you have praised Honda city in several. I do agree the City's petrol motor is punchier and refined than that of Brezza but Brezza's is not bad either. Need some help in making the right purchase decision.
Some background – Driving WagonR since last 12 yrs and now want to upgrade. Top priorities in order are Safety, Fuel Efficiency/Mileage + Maintenance cost, reliability (intend to keep the car for 10 yrs). Heard that Nexon’s petrol mileage is very bad in city and guess it will not be as reliable hence did not consider but if you think otherwise or want to suggest a 3rd option then I am open.
Best Regards,
Pranjal Ardey
