Altis vs Camry Under 2 Million PKR

Hello All, I am looking for a family car in Karachi. I have been looking for Corolla Altis 10th generation primarily because I like the shape and looks of it, but I see that there are Camry available in my budget. I want to know how would you guys compare the two considering the maintenance cost, fuel and other known issues? I don't live in Pakistan and visit every alternate month, so I get less time to maintain the car so need something which reliable and comfortable for a family ride. Parking is not an issue.

Thanks in advance and looking forward to some amazing insights in making my mind.

Why not go for a very less used Honda city? The car would be new and very less used.

@mudassar.latif.94 everybody says that the suspensions are stiff, Corolla being the favourite for me being a reliable car. And I don't know about Camry.

Don't know about the camry but I sold a Mark X 2 years back for 18.50 and it was LEGENDARY! You may also consider a mark X? These local cars are shit as compared to these jdms. If I were you, I'd go for a premio 2006 or a mark X

@mudassar.latif.94 which model of MarX and Premio can I get in this this budget? and what about maintenance cost and fuel economy? availability of parts?

Availability of parts and maintenance is almost similar other 1800cc cars. Premio 2006 would give you a 12km/l with A/C and Mark X 2004-6 would give around 9

Altis 1.6 also gives 11-12 km/l with A/C
