2003-2005 City Vario... Absolute crap...Its scary over 100kmph and over all, quality of material used feels sub standard.it lacks power as well as comfort and has serious blind spots. its an ok car for the mrs. She likes it because it has a good turning radius.
I own a 7th gen and i find it much comfortable than this particular model of city. Compared to my previous car (2002 city) 7th gen is a bit bumpy and can sometimes feel harsh on certain roads. I do like the seats if they have not been wrapped with cheap leather. It has a quite cabin and dashboard quality is pretty good. It doesnt drive like second gen city (which by the really really hugs the road) when i first shifted from 2nd gen city to civic, i felt the civic understeers on certain corners where my old city wont while the city was on 13inch stock wheels.
As somebody mentioned, 7th gen has a terrible PS (reliability wise) and if something is wrong with hydraulics, if it will drive like crap.
