Also you cannot drive a M/T in Karachi.
Auto has more life and less maintenance (Not on CNG) if purchased new since you cannot abuse the clutches.
We kept a Prosmatec from 2001 May to 2012 December and driven 280,000 KM with no problem.
The clutches were changed at 180,000 KM & transmission filter cleaned at 100,000 KM & 200,000 KM respectively.
