I has experience of almost all rolla generation 
and just saying generally, if someone wants an old car jo koi kam nikaley tou saalo bad nikale i guess that car will be 1980 or 82 model corolla. just love that car.
@linearmodelqau Bro we wish you to get any decent car and you wont go for the restoration project if you are thinking of corolla. tbh I like your thread to get a different opinion from pakwheelers about these 2 cars. And this is very wise decision to choose between these two cars.
First of all it depends where are you living, secondly, indus corolla maintenance is not high, parts etc ka comparatively same or with little difference of other hatch back cars, 86 or 90 model corolla, it has somehow expensive parts with indus corolla. @399.ak bhai has dont some changes with his 90 model corolla he could say better about the expenses etc.
while ago spend around 10 to 11K for suspension work of mehran, and in those days done suspension work of indus corolla and cost me around 13k approx. i dont remember the exact figure. if spending extra 1 or 2 thousand more in sedan car i guess it has a worth if you compare mehran with indus corolla. there is a hell of a difference between these two cars.
BTw do you mind share what your budget to get a new car for ourself and whats your current ride or had ? lets do a comparsion for a better outcome. so you actually get an upgrade with your new ride. what do you say about it ? Thankyou
