Stupid claim!
My City 2001 also got away from a similar area (Korangi) with ease. Pani kafi tha ... and NO pipe on exhaust ... last time itna pani tha key self kharab hogaya tha due to water.
Oh and we passed a Land Cruiser that was stuck due to water. You dont see me claiming my wheels are better than a LC.
Hell ... after coming home I saw on the Universty Road a RICKSHAW speeding by while cars lay trapped in the water.
Its all on luck and driving technique ...
