no doubt mira is faaar better than mehran but there are certain points which you have to keep in mind
1. Initial cost: Mehran VXR brand new costs around 6.5 lakhs whereas a 2007 Mira will cost around 8 for a clean vehicle
2. Age factor: Mehran will be brand new and doubt-free, however, Mira will be at least 4-5 years used and we all know that dealers are selling accidented and flood-affected cars as TOTAL JENIYAN.
3. Maintenance: Maintenance of Mehran is far more easy when compared to Mira and highly cheaper too. Spare parts availability of Mira is very poor and if there is any the prices are sky high.
4. CNG factor: if you wish to run your car on CNG then exclude Mira from your choices because it is non-CNG compliant, the car will get ruined if CNGed.
5. Resale: No debate is needed on this topic, Mehran is the hottest selling small car of Pakistan, Mira has very poor (close to zero) resale.
6. Fuel consumption: There is both Mira and Mehran EFi in my social circle, so the mileage I am going to quote is highly accurate. Mehran EFi gives 20 km/l local and Mira gives only 12 km/l local.
I guess my point is clear as to which one is best suited for our environment. Besides, only the elite are buying these 660cc cars just because of the reason that they are "too cool" to buy a Mehran.
