professional car detailer - honda city detail by KC

The Honda City is a subcompact car manufactured by the Japanese manufacturer Honda since 1981

One of the characteristics shared by the Fit/Jazz, City/Fit Aria, and Airwave, is the location of the fuel tank. Rather than placing it under the rear seats, it is located under the front seats, thereby freeing up valuable room in the back. this is a face-lifted version of the City (The most significant changes are a new exterior (new front grille, new headlamps, new fog lights, new taillights and bumpers) the suspension has been upgraded as well. CVT gearbox for both i-DSI and VTEC variants. that simulates a 7-Speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic style override using paddle shift buttons
