Can someone convince me to go for Suzuki Ciaz after ditching Honda City in 2019? After the price points of both the cars as of now are same infact the on road price of Ciaz is somewhat less than City plus i am more than satisfied with the quality and features of Ciaz.
Kindly Pakwheelers give your two cents considering the current market situation of Suzuki Ciaz that whether i should go for it or not?

Honda has much better technology than Suzuki

I have had Honda in my family since i was a kid and i myself loved honda for IVTEC until last year after the price hike and the same model for about 10 years now. As of now i own a city and i have owned two (2010 & 2018) but there is no improvement in the car at all rather the deteriorating build quality over the years. Right now i feel as a car and an overall package i am more tempted towards Ciaz.

drive the Ciaz then decide yourself
I personally feel ciaz is more beautiful as compared to city

I have, it's a better car than City in every aspect i guess. The only concern i have is with the after sales and parts etc because i have no experience with Suzuki in the past.

I can comment on the reliability and durability of Ciaz
.
Our office had the manual ciaz in 2017 when it was launched....it was used as a rental car mostly on the route Khi to Sadiqabad...and half times in northern regions too..
.
Sold in 2019 with 350k kms on clock with just regular maintenance.
.
Strong body and suspension with good fuel avg.

Yes i have heard the same reviews as well that the car itself is great in terms of reliability but i am more skeptical about Pak Suzuki's ignorant attitude towards their customers which i have heard quite a few times.

That, sometimes, depends upon the dealership itself, not all the Suzuki 3S that bad. Try to find a good one in your city and you'll be good.

Thanks for the reply. Can you guide me which is the best 3S dealership in Lahore?

Suzuki township motors

Well, I usually go to Sethi Motors for some work and they are OK. Not so good neither bad. At least, they listen.
Secondly, Suzuki Mini Motors is also good. Heard good reviews about them.
The reviews on the Google Map are also sorta depicting the states/repo of the dealerships, you can check that too.

Ciaz has much better suspension but future is not clear at all

hamza8120 (Hamza Shakeel) 2019-09-30 18:43:47 +0500 #14

Yes but considering it with the competitors it still is a better product afterall.

fastian04 (Salman) 2019-09-30 18:45:22 +0500 #15

Yes suspension is very good. recently experienced its drive. Car response on pot holes was very good..while city is nowhere close in suspension

I also prefer Ciaz over city. City is not comfortable.

Ciaz all the way.

sleeper (Farasat) 2019-10-03 23:55:24 +0500 #19

Yes.... Rental used between khi and sadiqabad ...about 2 runs back and forth almost each week.

I kept two different model Altis, Juke, Swift in recent times and now I bought Ciaz automatic.
Built quality is better than City and GLI. Fuel economy is better than both. at 120KM/hr it gives 17+. In local it easy stays between 14-15 with light foot if it is not a congested route. Colour quality and interior are very good. Pleasure to drive. Trunk is better than both. Comfortable driving stans with good cockpit feel.

Rim size should have been 16" instead of 15". Vehicle is light weighted and doesnt give a gripped and stable feel in solo drive. It needs more than a person with some luggage to offer grippy drive.

Bought from company in 25 and after registration with accessories, it reached 26.

Hope, that helps. M available on call as well. 03028504770
