In-game description[]
This description is taken from the description page in GT5. It is transcluded from here.
Launched in November 1981, the City was Honda's compact car with it's own unique personality. In a revolutionary style called the "tall boy concept", its appeal was its large interior space, nonexistent in other cars of the time. It was the embodiment of the MM (Maximum Man, Minimum Mechanics) philosophy of Honda, and the model enjoyed huge success.
The newly designed body featured a length of 133.0 inches, a width of 61.8 inches and a height of 57.8 inches (E, R, etc). In the high roofed model called the Manhattan Roof, added another 100mm in height. The length of approximately 11.1 ft was similar to the lightweight K-car class, but the City had very good interior quality packaging and it was possible to comfortably seat 5 adults. The efficient interior space owed much to the compact design of the engine and the front and rear strut suspensions. With its charming front mask with round headlights, the City's appearance had a unique presence.
The 1.2L straight-4 SOHC engine was also a new design. It was rare for Honda at that time, but this car focused on low-speed torque with its long stroke. Engine power was nothing special at 66 BHP, but considering its city fuel economy of 5.4 l/100km, this was more than decent.
Supported by its popularity, numerous variations of the City were created. The City Turbo producing 99 BHP was announced in September 1982, and in November 1983, the City Turbo II had its performance increased to 108 BHP thanks to an intercooler. In 1984 a cabriolet version was also released. As a compact car with overwhelming performance, the City Turbo II received enthusiastic support from younger drivers.
