Deciding between Honda city vs Corolla Grande

[abdullahzafar2321]

Exactly why its so hard to decide

[shaiki]

Bro, keep it simple.
Buy the Grande if you want a comfy and a relatively luxurious ride.
It will be very practical if:
* You travel frequently on motorways (5 hours+)
* Maintenance, fuel and tax is no issue/this is your only car.
* You travel with family frequently (more than 3-4 passengers with you)

Otherwise if you are very concerned about fuel/taxes and you mainly drive in city on smooth roads then City might be a better option.

But Altis Grande is a far better car than City if you're willing to overlook some running costs.

[abdullahzafar2321]

That totally makes sense, But any estimate of operational cost difference in these 2 cars? I'm no car expert
Token taxes or fuel avg difference? I don't live in a big City, I'm from Gujrat and i would say some roads are good and some are super bad, and sometimes i have to travel to village. Motorway travel is very less

Grande and City have no comparison as these 2 belong to totally different Categories. Grande can be compared with civic. Between these 2 Grande is superior in all terms. City is basically a car for city drive and to save money on fuel. Token Tax is not an issue bz that is once a year. If u want supeior car compared to Grande then go for Civic. U can get a good upmodel civic in this price range. All toyota 2nd hand cars r over priced for some insane reason. Civic is civic

Go for Grande 1.8 or Corolla Altis 1.6 . You won't regret

[abdullahzafar2321]

yes i understand but Civic has expensive parts + bad fuel avg in Rebirth which is in range
Grande i considered cuz its a practical car price wise and parts availability, and so does city
But city has bad suspension and dashboard looks kinda ugly

[kjohn_18]

Do u like grande dashboard and interior which looks like 70s model car? Honda interior is always better than toyota

[abdullahzafar2321]

ah yeah corolla dash also not that good, Maybe it was the Automatic gear knob which made me feel like that lol

Not yet decided?, after reading @shaiki 's review and your requirements one can easily conclude that you should buy Grande as you need to go village and drive on bad roads...

[abdullahzafar2321]

Yeah i’m starting to look for grande
You have any idea about registration and car ownership transfer cost of 1800cc car? Thanks

[helper_learner]

Transfer cost is same i believe, registration cost will be different... Your city so can guide further

[abdullahzafar2321]

Gujrat its in Pubjab
So most likely Car will be registered in Islamabad or Lahore excise

[helper_learner]

Vehicle registration for punjab

[kjohn_18]

Car registration??????? I believe u r buying 2nd hand car in 2.5 to 2.8M isnt it? 2nd hand car already registered u just need owner transfer.

[abdullahzafar2321]

Yes how much does that cost? To transfer an 1800cc car ownership?
Thanks

[abdullahzafar2321]

Update: I went with a Corolla Altis 1.6 Late Dec with Immobiliser. Thank you all for the help
