Is old model aqua worth it?

1Assalamalaikum friends!
I am a true fan of Toyota Aqua but my budget is under 18 lacs, so my question is; is it worth buying old model (2011/2012) or should I go for Axio?
A friend of mine told me to not buy aqua below 2014
Any help would be appreciated ️

Aqua, Not at all
Stay away

Don't go for a hybrid vehicle especially an old model you will regret getting it. I would suggest going for a locally assembled vehicle and then upgrading to a more latest model of Aqua if you really want to.

when buying used car try to buy car with less gadgets or buy simple cars as car gets complex problem gets bigger and unsolvable and frequent.

so need to avoid buying cars
1. Hybrid
2. With turbo engines (ie german cars)
3. with lots of Safety features

18 lac is good budget buy a new Suzuki Cultas or a good condition vitz/Passo or City

Buying Cultus or a Brand new Wagon R is much better than buying a hybrid vehicle
Yess I agree with @Junaid_riaz
Base models are better then these fully loaded & quirky JDM which will cause you a lot of issue

Go for a city, any hybrid with 2014 or below wud hav never ending battery problems

Thanks for the feedbacks, I am interested in sedan shape vehicles.
What’s your experience about axio?

Better try to find a 1.8 Axio(Luxel) with a lot of power and great fuel average within 1.8M budget you can easily find a 2007~2009 and for sure it is better than any PKDM which falls in this price bracket

terencewillow (Salahuddin Ibrahimi) 2020-06-25 20:02:53 +0500 #9

What would be the fuel average for 1.8 axio? (Local and highway) with AC
Also average of 1.5 please (2007 model)

IIIM5 (IIIM5) 2020-06-25 20:14:23 +0500 #10

I have kept both 1.5 and 1.8 for a couple of years you may not agree with me but 1.8 had a good averge it was around 16kms/ltr on highways and around 10~11 kms/ltr local and more a less 1.5 may a little less

terencewillow (Salahuddin Ibrahimi) 2020-06-25 20:55:52 +0500 #11

Uhh really? I heard that 1.5 axio gives 15-16 in city due to CVT

With due respect thats not realistic

go for city...passo has terrble pick...city is a much more fun car to drive...

alibintahir (Ali bin Tahir) 2020-06-25 22:23:41 +0500 #14

I beg to differ. I owned both City and Passo in the past, though both cars are of different league and can't be compared, but comfort and drive wise, Passo is better in hatchbacks, however, if fuel efficiency is what you're looking for, then you can go for City in sedans.

alibintahir (Ali bin Tahir) 2020-06-25 22:25:12 +0500 #15

Axio is a very reasonable choice in this budget and I'm sure that you will not regret your decision. However, finding a low mileage and good condition Axio now might be a challenge for you.
Good Luck.

I own a city manual and drove a passo today...passo seemed quite slow in pick...yes the driving comfort seemed a bit better...passo reaches 60 km/h in a time in which the city would literally cross a 100km/h...city manual is really nippy...but it is a manual...can't say much about automatic...but yes city manual seemed a little more fun to drive...

pwuser154691780142 (Pakwheels User) 2020-06-25 22:34:59 +0500 #17

Don't know about axio...but if you can go for manual and don't want hybrid...city is a good option...it is both fast , fuel efficient and easy to maintain....and keeps running and running and running...and yes you can good one in your price range...go ahead and take a test drive of it...the car is literally a powerhouse of perfection...

The city I would be able to purchase within my budget will be an old model pkdm which wouldn’t really satisfy my need. I will continue looking for an Axio X/G/Luxel. By the way what would be the price for aqua 2014-2015 model? I hope I wouldn’t be famous in the workshop with aqua

alibintahir (Ali bin Tahir) 2020-06-26 12:08:36 +0500 #19

Well. that's justifiable based on the fact that City is 1.3 and Passo is 1.0

alibintahir (Ali bin Tahir) 2020-06-26 12:14:21 +0500 #20

Aqua 2014/15 is around 2.2-2.5 million based on the condition and grade, however, Hybrid cars will save you a lot of money on fuel but will eventually start costing you a lot on battery maintenance and other stuff too.
So, I would definitely recommend you to go for Axio 2007/08 or Premio 2004-06 and I'm sure that you will not regret this decision, but again I'll say that finding a good condition and low mileage Axio or Premio will be challenge for you.
