Thanks and wish you many happy miles with the new Pegasus.

Thank you, mate. Just went through your dilemma thread in "Sedans". If you don't feel any real need for the City AT, I would like to recommend the Corporate wholeheartedly. All the important safety features are provided, it has superb quality black interiors, plus you can customise it as you wish.
Like my friend BV pointed out, the driver seat-height adjustment is absent.
Refer to the pic I posted in the first page :-
But if you are a tall guy like me, you won't feel the need for it.
I am 6'0" and there's a gap of 3 fingers between the top of my head and the roof of Pegasus (in normal seating position). I can see ahead perfectly, and have an exact idea of where my front wheels/bumper are. No problem when cutting through traffic or turning around from parked places.
All the best with your decision. Awaiting your ownership thread, buddy.

Do post updates on your first servicing. |
Thanks a lot, _raVan_ my friend. I will definitely keep updating my thread with all the happenings in Pegasus's life. Glad you liked!

Do send me the pics of the Pioneer Fascia, Arup. It will be very helpful for me. I will get my accessory guy to see it and source it from somewhere, or find it myself.
I went through your ICE thread before zeroing in on the Pioneer (it was a toss-up between Pioneer and JVC). You have the P4390, which I tried to source but Pioneer revamped it's lineup then. The 3350 BT was easily available, but the 4390 was nowhere to be found. The replacement to the 4390 is the 4490 now; I think most functions are the same between both players so don't worry. You have one of the best touchscreen HUs available right now.
Your City must be one of the most envious-looking cars in Mumbai right now! I can imagine that fantastic disco-lighted boot and all the rocking "dhoom-dhoom" music flowing from your City when you drive it around town.

It deserves a long photoshoot actually! What a tremendous job by Ramie! (you got it done by him, right?)
------------------
Well folks, judging by the number of PMs I am getting, looks like a lot of you are interested in the City Corporate.
Let me reiterate that the City Corporate is the perfect choice for you, if you are looking for a petrol sedan with a budget of 8L. Hassle-free ownership, superb Honda A.S.S., excellent looker, the "Kohinoor" equivalent i-VTEC engine, quality all-black fabrics and interiors, humongous interior space and boot, and fantastic FE. All this complimented by FULL safety features. Add to it, you can customise it as you wish. What more can one want?
As per demands from members, here are a few more shots as clarifications to clear all your doubts:-
12V power outlet provided under the dashboard area, just below the AC buttons and in front of the front storage space.
Space in the glove box. Look how much spare space is left on top!
Interior door handles are shiny black and don't look as cheap as the outer door handles, which I got painted.
Warning to not attach child seat given on the front passenger sun visor.
The rear seat. Height is about perfect, and not too low as like in the fluidic Verna. Integrated headrests ensure no intrusion into driver's rearward visibility
Rear seat when you open the door. Note the passenger armrest neatly folded and merged in the center. Doesn't protrude at all.
Rear passenger armrest open. Plain. No cup-holders provided.
Rear floor hump. Minimal, and not a bother for the 3rd passenger.
Outside view from driver's seat through the rear windshield. Large glass area + integrated headrests is helpful for reversing view but taller passengers would demand either a reverse camera and/or sensors.
Duly stamped and certified by "pujari ji".
I don't think anyone will spot me in this semi-rural wilderness of a city so I am doing the spotting myself!
Indeed, I Live to Drive!
Mud flaps added by me after paint job. No mud flaps provided in the Corporate.
Front passenger side door handle also gets a central locking keyhole.
