The only issue with the 2015 IDTEC is the annoying engine noise heard inside the cabin.

Consistently beating ARAI rated fuel efficiency when we drive with lighter foot and within 80 to 100 KMPH speed range. Mileage figures for my recent Bangalore to Coimbatore trip below.

Though my City is 2015 diesel manual model, City petrol CVTs probably won't disappoint in mileage department. Maintenance costs are comparatively lower for City as well.

Hi @Sam77, how did you get the car "damped"?

I've had similar experience at KIA and Hyundai. Even though I love the Seltos and am keen on the Creta too, their Sales ethics have sort of put me off both the Cars. The mere mention of you wanting a lower variant and non requirement of accessories and warranties, you start feeling unwelcomed by the Sales team. Honda on the other hand has been superb. Even though the sales team knew that i was merely window shopping, I did not feel unwelcomed Or ignored. They are also offering around 60k discount on the VX variant.

1. The interior of the Seltos felt cramped in comparison. The City has a very spacious front and back seat.

2. The sales people in the KIA showroom were least interested in showing me & my family the car. When one associate finally attended to us, he seemed uninterested. Made me wonder that if this was the service I was going to get before purchasing the product, what would it be like afterwards.

This was a stark contrast to the efforts the Honda people made.

3. The GNCAP crash test on the Seltos. To be fair, the City hasn't been tested yet, but I can't imagine it'll be any worse than how the Seltos performed even if it isn't any better.

4. Real/perceived reliability of Honda and my family's positive experience with their products and their after sales service.

I'm sure you already know this, but not a wise idea to display your Car registrations on a public platform.
Reason for butting in - those are my fathers pet digits too (on all the vehicles he's ever owned) , hence the intrusion.

Now since you have asked between the seltos and the city i will keep it very straightforward and answer the question in the context it was asked without confusing you further and pointing you in 10 other directions with other options.

I have both the city as well as the seltos however the seltos is the Htk plus manual petrol which was roughly about 13.5 otr. Whereas the city is the zx cvt as you know which is 16.5ish otr.

Out of the 2 cars if i was asked which one i would want to drive everyday in a city like delhi i would drive the city each time, although one might say that its an incorrect comparison as the seltos is a manual i would pick the city for convinience so i will leave out the gearbox out of the equation and in my opinion and experience point out why i voted for the city.

1. I love the interiors of the city over the seltos it feels far better to me

2. Space in both is almost same , however i feel legroom is a tad better in the city compared to the seltos

3. I love the LEd headlights on the zx , i mean they light up the road like a chistmas tree period!

4. The thing that takes the cake is i feel the city handles far better then the seltos the steering feedback i get from it is far superior then the seltos, The feel of the steering is precise at almost every speed inspires tonnes of confidence.

5. The free revving nature of the N/A engine on the city is fantastic it revvs like there is no tommorow i have a daily commute of 100km i so look forward to my eary morning drive to work its awesome on the open road.

6. Fuel efficency of the seltos is about 14 approx the city is consistently giving me 15.5-16 till now no ac usage in either.

7. The GC of the seltos is higher however unless you plan to use it on roads which are in a bad shape or pothole riden i guess the city can handle most roads with ease
