im not a mehran lover but u know its cheap...
i have kept 3 mehrans so far 89 suzuki alto(mehran shape) (japan assembled), dec 2006, march 2007. i still own last 2.
well frankly speaking japan's alto was strong and built well but old car is old. over heating probs, fuse probs etc. later found out that overheating prob was due to that AC radiator. there was so much dust in it that it did not allow air from fan to reach engine radiator.
well for the new mehrans so far no prob mashAllah. just oil change,plugs and tuning etc. no khadakna though one is on pathetic general and other on chinese nankang(very soft ride).
now to ur questions
1. i would never buy a suzuki if there r not any financial constraints.
2.performance 7/10
3.reliabilty 7/10
4.comfort 4/10
5.dealer service 5/10 (just the free checkups)
6.average running costs 8/10
note the comparisons on performance, reliability, comfort and costs are in comparison to the corolla xeg 98 that i have. though it is very much older than the mehrans but i would rate it 10/10. mashAllah damn ride
