fmkiani;4633855:

So I finally made my Father agree and bought this beauty.
Now you guys are gonna get the first owner's review I guess
I've driven it for almost 500kms now.
First talking about the drive,its beautiful and wonderful.
The acceleration is just freakin awesome.
I asked a friend who has 2013 gli to have a little race with me just to check the acceleration and I was amazed when the gli couldnt even catch up close :')
The ABS brake is quite responsive.
Although there's a little play in the paddle(if play means you have to press the paddle more).Bit the ABS WAS QUITE RESPONSIVE
The suspension was also wonderful.
I just felt of it like my dad's corolla.So comfortable that I'm totally satisfied.
In the interior there's ample seat for a person like me (6''1' tall) on the front seats and the people on the back can also easily be entertained.
I didnt have a usb so I borrowed it from a friend for a bit
Usb played well and the two speakers did the job for me although I like high bass but they're perfect for doing the job .
The steering is very easy to handle.
The only issue I had was that it took me almost a day to get used to the opposite positions of headlights and viper knob.
The plastic of interior as some people said isn't really cheap but the color sometimes make it look so in high sunlight.
The grip of the car is amazing,just like a JDM as I'be previosuly owned a JDM.
Why did I buy it?
I had to buy a car now and my considerations were cultus,wagon r,used vitz and passo.
It was quite difficult to make a choice.
Pros:
The car is brand new unlike JDMs,it wont make me go to the workshop again and again,even if there's anything wrong,its the company's headache to solve the problem upto 50,000 kms.
It has dual airbags as compared to cultus and wagon r.
Power windows,power steering,ABS which are not there in cultus.
The drive is very smooth.
It is way more powerful as it is 1300cc and I could not get any other 1300 cc new car in this range.
Cultus and wagon r didnt werwe totally waved out of my mind after V2.

Cons:
Uptill now no resale,but I am hapy that they have set up their plant in Karachi and they say they will be starting its local production in 2015 which means they are here to stay and make a name in the market.
Spare parts although available all over Pakistan in 3S dealerships but not in open market uptill now.

I was able to convince myself that these cons are nothing infront of the pros so I finally decided to take it.I'm loving the ride untill now as its beautifull,sexy and a good performer.I'm sharing the pictures .I'll sooon be getting its body kit made aswell.
Anything else you guys wanna ask me,you can.

Edited: 6th November 2015
Ive used my V2 for almost a year now and I'm really satisfied with it.My brother has also bought a v2 after my experience in white color.
He is also enjoying the ride.
I would recommend anyone who has a budget of 1 million to go for this car.
My brother got this Financed from JS bank.
We're loving it

17.1 Millage is with AC

@fmkiani ... Brother, would you recommend this car today. I am going to buy my first car and have the choices of Mitsubishi Mirage - Toyota Vitz - Faw V2 - Passo.

Go for vitz or brand new wagonR

Being an owner of a v2, I would also suggest going in for a vitz. Do not buy a v2.

abstrusemind (abstrusemind) 2016-10-14 02:25:59 +0500 #3018

If u can afford then vitz is the answer... no comparison with pkdms.. but if u prefer brand new then v2 is a good option, have driven mine 18k till now, no such issue so far for which i have to go to workshop.

Some one has recommended wagon r above as well, nice car but make sure u sit on its back seat for some time and realize the level of discomfort...

@arsalannn Thank you for the suggestion bro. I don't like Wagon R, Vitz is the option then.
imran.y1980 Nice. Vitz is getting stronger. But I wonder, why you aren't suggesting V2.
abstrusemindThere is vote again for Vitz. what about Mitusbishi Mirage? I have heard quite good things about it. I agree with Wagon R being not nice. Pak Suzuki is just a con.

abid110 2016-10-14 08:20:26 +0500 #3020

What makes a car successful are its after sales service, easy spare part availability, mechanic's level of comfort, good resale (as anyone can feel the need anytime to sell off anything for an upgrade or encashment)...for all the above, vitz/cultus/wagonR.
V2 is yet to prove anything positive in paki market. Its a matter of 11 lacs. Act wise.
