Let's put it this way:
Comfort: Liana
Value for money: Liana (Less money will get him a 1.6 Liana with alloys, touch screen media system, ABS+EBD, Imported tires etc)
Interior: Liana
Resale: City
BTW, the swiss friend thinks Liana is also a good car because he does not live in Pakistan. Liana is not a bad car internationally. Had he been living in Pakistan, he would have blindly gone for a Corolla. Let him decide as well...
