Car suggestion under 9 lac

[faheemakbar18]

Aslam o alikum

I am looking to buy a car to be used as my daily drive
I have to travel around 60km daily. I am looking for economy and comfort. I can slightly compromise on economy for comfort

My budget is 8-9 lac and need car in Islamabad

I have listed down
1. Cultus 08-09 (Economy, Less comfort, low-med maintenance cost)
2. Baleno 02-05 (Slightly less economy, more comfort, medium maintenance cost)
3. Corolla Indus 2.0D (economy, comfort, highest maintenance cost)

Liana might also fall in this range. Mehran is not the option. what would you suggest from list or if you have better suggestion, please share

Thanks in advance

Salam.
Brother your daily commute is 60 kms so you need a reliable car. And since budget is limited hence you'll be buying an old car that will require maintenance.
So Mehran suits you best. But if that's not an option then go for Cultus. The maintenance is cheaper than the other two.
You can also buy a Cuore or a Santro.
I have kept both Cuore and Santro and both are way better than a Mehran. A manual Cuore and Santro have similar fuel average compared to a Mehran and maintenance is slightly expensive but not by too much.

Thank you for the suggestion brother.

I have recently sold the mehran to upgrade
I have heavy body and I don't find myself comfortable in Mehran, Alto (old shape), coure or its likes. Even khyber disturbs me a little. So a little spacious car is needed

Cultus does fall in the requirements list, but its air conditioning is average due to poor insulation, also the steering is bit hard. that concerns me..

Baleno has common issue of ignition coil failing. we have kept baleno earlier and is coils used to give up. Also suspension work comes sooner than other cars. other than that, we never faced any issue, but its average is low which is also a concern
