The strut suspension system though diverting from the Double-wishbone Honda norm, surprisingly gives a better ride than that of the Toyota Corolla or even the Mazda 323!

Rather expensive for a so-called people's car, but Asian-only Honda City is a better buy in both performance and features than bottom spec Toyota Corolla, Nissan Sentra or Mitsubishi Lancer.
