The new Honda City 2022 is a major upgrade from the previous generation. However, there are always something to nitpick, so here is the nitpicking guide for the 2022 Honda City.

If you have seen our article on the overview of all features of the new Honda City, then you must say why it is nuts to think of something to nitpick from the Honda City. Pegging expectations from price points, the Honda City is actually a car that is value-for-money, maybe even more. But there are still some items that could be improved, some stuff that users have seen that sort of irritate them, one way or another. Here are what we have nitpicked.

All Plastic Dash

The Honda City’s dashboard, like some cars on its lineup, have had a different feel already. A mix of luxury and aesthetic; a tactile experience using your palms. The Honda City, however, have decided to use, still, hard plastic. It’s not entirely gruesome and not too bad, but it could have been better. Perhaps a differently designed plastic that deviates from the economy-class vehicle the City still is. Still, the interior of the City is to die for, comparing it with the plain and boring competitors. (But have you seen the Geely Emgrand?)

Made Outside the Philippines

Honda pulled out of the Philippines in 2020 but the plans to do it was all pre-pandemic. The City is now made in Thailand. In the spirit of nitpicking and the actual science of ergonomics, it is noticeable that some buttons of the infotainment system and AC system are now more ergonomic to right hand side drivers, a particular way of driving in Thailand, where the cars are now imported from. It’s basically amounting to nothing, but it’s still nitpicking.

Little Headroom

Just like the new Civic, the City has a sloping roofline from panel B to C, thus making a little less headroom for heady passengers. It’s something not too worse unless you are a family of basketball players or your passengers are taller than average Filipinos.

Huge Boot, Little Spare

The City boasts a huge boot space and it’s more spacious than its competitors. This is thanks to a small doughnut spare tire and not a full tire. This is okay because you only need to get to the nearest vulcanizing shop or something, and not run the spare for the whole trip. To others, although, this might be something they are looking at when buying cars. (C’mon, buying a car for its spare tire?)

And there you have it, all the bells and whistles of the City still makes it a car of choice for those who need an upgrade or those planning to buy their first car. The City might have some nitpicked items but these are overshadowed, like skyscrapers blocking sunlight on the streets, by all the great features and looks of the City.

To end, all cars, like the 2022 Honda City, are best cars for someone, especially their current or potential owners. There are, however, something that nitpickers always see. This gives us a new perspective on the car we used to dream for before actually buying it.
