Its ur choice..if u need more comfort with similar mileage and have additional funds get AGS..ITS SIMPLY BETTER. Vxl is great if u want manual.

If you want more comfort go for AGS.its your choice. And the price difference between them is only 83000.

Get an AGS if your city has a lot of traffic

If you have budget then definitely ags
I have vxl but feel ags is necessary to tackle city traffic

AGS has certain issues that you should keep in mind e.g. Not able to cope with hilly / inclined roads and also on touch and go traffic, the gear automation doesn't work as well. Lots of videos on Youtube about that. Swift auto might be a better option if you can live with the higher Fuel costs.

Swift auto..is. Only for fuel pump owners bhai.. civic x and Corolla 1.8 gives better mileage. I have an AGS in family and it was used to go murree and ayubia.. without any issue. Manual mode is also available for added control..AGS is very friendly on fuel and is very comfortable compared fo swift. Actually i bought swift in 2014 and it was the biggest buying mistake .na comfort na average...chuss car..just pick..which is just not what u need in a family car. I switched to city and mileage was way way better.

Thanks bro for your first hand experience. So you think the automatic gear shifts work fine on incline? or should one use Manual mode there?

fastian04 (Salman) 2019-04-07 18:51:07 +0500 #9

Ideal is manual mode. Major problem will be that there is only D mode and no L D2 D3 etc. This means when u increase speed, car will shift gears to 2nd of 3rd when u need 1st.manual mode will keep u under control. Manual mode is so easy and actually easier than normal manual. Just make sure to use handbrake if u brake on slope to avoid excessive load on clutch plates

Mileage of car is so impressive it gave us 19.8 kmpl tank to tank on motorway faisalabad fo Lahore and in one week i got 15.5 kmpl in lahore traffic with Ac always on.. as its pretty hot nowadays. Ac was very good.AMT is not like conventional auto but with manual mode at ur finger tips.. it's a suitable car.
One thing to remember I did find it laggy when u wanna get immediate pick specially in 1st gear. With normal foot it has reasonable pick and is perfect for daily use

Thanks bro, but I heard that the AGS will automatically switch to a higher gear even on Manual mode if you press the accelerator hard enough. Isn't that true?

fastian04 (Salman) 2019-04-07 19:06:47 +0500 #12

It will if u cross redline to save engine...u will eventually do the same in manual as well:) u Don't wanna damage engine

Thanks alot guys for the feedback.
My concern is that AGS while driving gives a jerk and i felt moving forward while gears shifting...
Has anyone else noticed the same?

UK imported celario vxri automatic is also available in big cities...I have seen manual one...you can also check it...it has D...L

Bro, I would suggest AGS Variant.
It already includes option to drive in manual mode.
Its a 02 in 01 package IMHO.

You can also watch this video:

May be, it proves helpful in understanding the mechanism.

fastian04 (Salman) 2019-04-07 19:58:50 +0500 #17

Yes it gives jerk only when u give immediate acceleration..on normal foot its ok
