Honda City vs GLI Spare Parts Costs

[talha191996]

Assalam o Alaikum
I am planning to buy a new car from Bank, Honda Aspire 1.5 or GLI AT 2019.
Just wanted to know that is there really a big difference between the costs of spare parts of these Cars. And do New Honda City is Coming with Airbags? Any other Advice would be appreciated.

Gli at is a very sluggish car.
1.5 aspire is a powerful beast

No airbags in city

Since you are buying a zero meter, it won't be asking for parts in near future, I own a gli auto. And maintenance bills don't usually give me depression

[talha191996]

Thanks for the feed back
So No airbags in any model if City??
How about the inner and trunk space of city as compared to Gli or atlis?

[engr.rashid]

Corolla is very spacious from inside compared to city.
Can't say anything about trunk space.

[faizan7891]

Both inner and trunk space of corolla is bigger than city relatively but again city is also a decent sized sedan acc to pak market.

[fastian04]

City has bigger trunk than corolla or even civic. Much less spacious than Corolla from inside. Comfort is not even close to a Corolla. Power is ok even in GLi... Drive it..to experience.. since gear ratio is reasonably handled) . City has much better mileage( only in manual) due to better body to weight ratio but interestingly, Corolla 1.3 in Auto gear drives better than city 1.5 prosmatec..city has horrible low end torque and constantly search for gears. Gli is overall a way better car, newer shape, airbags..comfort etc... and that's why it's expensive as well. City has too much body roll on speed over 130kmph..and car floats in air..

Currently spending 2.3 million on full option old shape car makes city not so attractive.

Sir I have 2013 Honda City Aspire 1.5L

Believe me its pick is pathetic , even 1.3 Gli A/T pick is better than A/T city

Because Honda Pakistan Mismatched the A/T gear with 1.5L engine

However City 1.5L Manuel has good pick but its gear are very small you frequently need to change the gear.

So buy A Corolla Gli 1.3 AT. You will not regret it

What is mileage of 1.5 AT city?

[roboxx]

1.5 Prosmatic Honda City is better than GLI AT.
GLI is a sluggish, costly & oversized car. City is a compact sedan & has bigger boot. Rest your choice.

[saadtiger412]

Bu gli manual or 1.6 altis. Gli has big body and small engine. Power is quite OK in case of MT. Aspire is better than gli in tech etc like navigation and rims etc. On the other hand corolla has air bags better safety etc. Again rest is yours choice bro

[fastian04]

Navigation and alloys are not tech bhai. These are just addons. Not sure if people commenting here actually ever owned a Gli or switched from Gli because Gli is only underpowered than its its 1.6 onward variants and certainly not against city. There is a basic thing called comfort and drive quality and city lacks them...btw I have kept city for ,3 years...and i can tell u that its not superpowered all all.

Mine was aspire ..so tech side was covered as well

[fastian04]

Gli is not all sluggish against city. Its sluggish against its own upper end variants. Drive both cars side by side..u will understand what is called a better gear ratio. City PT has worst gear ratios and 1.5 Power seems nowhere. Manual has muc better drive and mileage.

Lastly COMFORT is a word when i cars other than city. Ciaz ia twice as comfy..leave corolla aside.

[roboxx]

Why GLI 1.3 won't be underpowered against 1.5 City?

[fastian04]

Because the gear ratios are mucb better in Gli. City 1.5 has very good engine but horrible auto transmission. Manual city 1.5 feels very aggressive..auto is a different story. If its so underpowered..then rent business would bhabe never used it.. apart from comfort, Gli is a very dheet car...and gear ratio is good in a way that u don't feel the amount of lag one feels in city at

[roboxx]

I have Honda City and have also driven GLI manual. What I've experienced is that GLI's suspension isn't so good (Altis & Grande suspension is better than City and GLI). The dashboard of GLI is like as u're sitting in a truck..all plasticy squared dashboard just in front of you. My experience.

[fastian04]

Gli has excellent suspension..only difference is due to general tyre in Gli. Looks are subjective..so no comments on looks bhai

[talha191996]

My main question was to know about the difference of price of spare parts of both cars. If anyone has any idea? Is honda really much expensive in terms of spare parts?

[fastian04]

Oem parts are same... no difference at all. Maintenance cost of honda is only high after 5 years as suspension expenses will incur...else it's totally same

[naveedm32]

My 2 cents? Don’t go for a bank leased car.interest rates will be shooting in near future considering the current economy situation.banks charge on a running interest rate.job and business securities are on lower end and all must avoid asking for trouble.

[fastian04]

Rates once decided will remain constant for a year. If u wait to save money..car price will be increased more than payable interest... MashaAllah the way things are going
