Past vehicles were more tougher, I compare the technologies, if the present technology is advanced then the past one then I will go for the present. if not(same) then I will save money and get the older one. I will like to own Civic 97-2000 oriel still today, because thier shape can't be outdated still in 2020, moreover they are EFI too. But if one can get present Honda, then he should get it. Same for corolla. But our people dont take Engine technology into account. In terms of Suzuki, U cant say anything as above, Sometime I have experienced their carburators better than their Efi. I will still Prefer older Mehran, Khyber, they are efficient and cheap on maintainance then thier MYSTERIOUS EFI's. And older Mehran 94-some year after according to my experience are much better bodywise and spacious. Always get that Model Mehrans and spend some buck tomake it more better then today ones.
