some pros and cons of the city(iDSL manual):
pros:
fc
: very good fc - average 14.8 km per l at 60 percent highway
space
: very good space - fold flat seats means a 1.7 m guy can lie
fully straightened(even 2 persons side by side)
dual glove box
gear level
: manual gearbox short throw and very smooth
cornering
: cornering is good with little bodyroll
steering
: accurate, fast and weighted at high speeds, good
lock-to-lock
boot
: 500 litre boot
engine
: very quiet when idle, almost vibrationless at standstill (best
in
class), very willing to rev, overall a refined engine (for
iDSL)
pick up
: good pick up as long as you are willing to rev at least 3000
rpm
cons:
looks
: futuristic tadpole morphing into frog look. can be remedied
using
bigger wheels, rear spoiler and side rain visor. (IMHO, body
kit
makes city look fatter especially side skirt)
vanity mirror
: on front driver side
ride
: on the hard side
no clock
: only when cd player is playing you can select display to show
the
clock
power
: initial power upslope a little lacking especially in second
gear
