Need help in buying decision for hatchback

[faheemkhalid1]

Hello Pak wheelers

I need help to make a decision for buying Used Hatchback car (660-1000cc)

My Budget is PKR 1.7 to 1.8 Million

Due to Current Export Restrictions, I am afraid that Japanese Car Parts will be unavailable or More Expensive

So I am thinking about Cultus, I am new to Cars, My usage will be Mix, Family + Rent

Kindly Guide me the best car for Pakistani Roads from All Expects. I need Expert Opinion

I am trying to get the used car under 40 to 50 Thousands KM's.

Thanks

you can find a decent Cultus VXR or Wagon R VXL in this budget ..
a very clean Honda City 2008 or a decent Honda city 2009-12 in this budget.

Main issue these days is Fuel Consumption. So Honda City will EAT Fuel, I don't like Wagon R Shape, So I think Cultus is best, Can i Get a cultus in the same budget?

Can i Get a cultus in the same budget?

only cultus vxr, in 75-100k odo range, or maybe even higher

[faheemkhalid1]

OOOH. 75-100k odo rang is Too Much I think for Cultus Engine, So What will be the Fuel Average after 75-100k in cultus?

[saqibhassan95]

. 75-100k odo rang is Too Much I think for Cultus Engine,

if 75-100k is too much for you, go for alto vxr with low mileage

[brownrose78]

Better go for Alto

Alto is a very small car, and not spacious enough

Alto is a very small car, and not spacious enough

if you talk about leg room, the new Alto has surprisingly more leg room than cultus wagon r , even honda city : )
but yes overall, luggage space and width is a bit compromised..

however, if the engine is kept with care and is in good health, 1 lac kilometer does not matter for fuel avg. these engines can last very long if taken care of...
you have to get the car inspected properly mechanically and engine health wise. if it is okay, 75 to 1 lac km mileage does not matter much.
but there's another thing.. mostly used wagonr and cultus are already used as uber careem .. so they have mostly been juiced out already or meter reversed .. got to be careful with that ..

in best case scenario, if the car is driven between 60 to 80 km/h max speed and with very light foot...
a Honda city in city drive can give you 13.5 to 14.5 km/l mileage,
a cultus in city drive can give you 17 to 18 km/l mileage,

and on motorway, at 100 speed, a city can give you up to 20 km/l avg. and cultus maybe 22 km/l

Don't worry about odo as far as the car is in good condition and has been maintained properly. A finely maintained car can last more than 500k.

[horticulturalist]

AFA the choice is concerned, if you opt for pkdm, all are the same, no matter cultus, alto, wagonR.

Thanks for the help, I have purchased Mira 2016 now, Average is 21 as I am a new Driver, The old owner was having 23KM/L in the city as he was driving auto cars since many years. I am happy with My Purchase decision, Thanks for the help.
