I have sold my city 2016 prosmatic 1.3 due to horrible average. See my detailed posts in relevant forum.

A/T is must for me. Please advise me the best value for money including mileage for Aspire 1.5 A/T and Corrolla 1.6 Altis A/T.

I need to book within a week.

Go for Altis 1.6 this time

Yep that will be correct decision

zuhaibafzal 2017-03-17 22:17:07 +0500 #4

What mileage did you get from 1.3 City?

hasanmehmood59 (hasanmehmood59) 2017-03-17 22:33:16 +0500 #5

You wont believe it. It was 7~7.5 consistently with AC and 10~10.5 without AC recently. I have complete records. Always tankful to tank ful. Never went on Highway. Canal Johar Town Faisal Town etc

I do need important features set and respective fuel mileage (within city and not motorway). Please factor in price difference of exactly 2.0 lacs

zuhaibafzal 2017-03-17 22:30:48 +0500 #7

BTW it depends on how you drive. If fuel is your major concern, you can consider Aqua

Driving matters to an extent. If there is significant variation in mileage. You sound like Honda Service Engr who advised me to drive at stable speed and brake gradually. Never mind if I am unable to overtake (constant speed) or end up hitting the car in front (slow braking)

And by the way no one has ever pointed out in any forum that in Pakistan, the car manufacturers never post average mileage (city / highway) in their brochures. Standard practice in Europe / USA due to federal regulations.

i myself on forums hv posted couple of hundred times
discouraging people from buying 1.3 auto city mainly due to sluggish pick and 6 cylinder engine car fuel consumption it gives
anyways , Altis is a better car if you can spare the extra 2 lacs and live with the fact its a bit risky(theft wise) . otherwise you shld be happy with a 1.5 auto aspire

Since you've already used City, this time get the Altis 1.6. It has alloys, Win CE screen, and it will give you around 10-11 in city driving. Also it is more comfortable than City, though it is subjective.
City 1.3 A/T is the worst, no offence pls.
Btw I have Altis 1.8 CVT and it is giving me around 11.5-12.5 in city.

I wish I had read the forums before buying City 1.3 prosmatic. Don't want to repeat the mistake and hence the post. Still no one has provided difference in features. For example I assume GPS navigation is standard in Aspire 1.5. Also the fuel economy of both options. Hopefully average of Aspire 1.5 A/T is better than City 1.3 A/T?

hasanmehmood59 (hasanmehmood59) 2017-03-17 23:48:32 +0500 #13

You mean with 100% AC in mixed city traffic? Seems good if true compared to city 1.3 A/T

nifiii (Aneef Izhar Ul Haq) 2017-03-17 23:50:51 +0500 #14

I personally dont own 1.6 but many brothers have shared their fuel economies in the 11th gen Corolla's thread and they have mentioned 10-11 on average. Wait let me search and post a screenshot too

nifiii (Aneef Izhar Ul Haq) 2017-03-17 23:56:39 +0500 #15

@autophile sir has posted his avgs of 1.6 Altis
And I think it is with mixed driving (With and without A/C)

@OP
u sold your 1.3 city and you're spending more money to buy a 1.5 or 1.6 car so you can save money on fuel? why would you waste time and money in order to save money? am i missing something here?

autophile (autophile) 2017-03-18 00:56:31 +0500 #17

It is all city driving, 90 percent ac

hasanmehmood59 (hasanmehmood59) 2017-03-18 11:27:49 +0500 #18

It does seem paradoxical.

Fortunately due to current market conditions I was able to sell 7 months old car at above normal zero meter price (including registration and WHT).

I was frustrated by low average and small fuel tank. Imagine refilling after every 250 km or so in summers.

So I want a bigger car for better handling and bigger tank and hopefully better mileage.

suhaibayaz (Suhaib) 2017-03-18 11:34:29 +0500 #19

Just out of curiosity I wanted to ask why did you add WHT in price of car? Tax was levied on your income and can be adjusted in your annual tax return even before that as well.

Don't get me wrong I just want to understand dynamics of Pakistani car market.

Is there an android map for above mileage log? Pretty impressive
