the only attractive thing to me in grande 14-15 is 1,8 engine, otherwise new 1.6 is much more appealing .
yeah some people find sunroof and paddle shifters attractive but to me their presence or absence doesn't matter
and looks of FL 1.6 are much much better than pre FL, plus it comes with immoblizer which isn't there in 2015 grande

Thanx... And what about fuel economy... Heard that grande is CVT... And its fuel average is far better than 1.6 Altis.. Is it true..?

2014-15 model doesn’t have immobilizer. Buy 1.6 Altis. Or atleast get a 2016-17 Grande with immobilizer. I hope you can find one in 24-25.

Fuel economy is better, but not far better. Just a difference of 1.0-1.5 km/l.

Brand new car has no match . Fl has its own presence and market value plus its good looking. U ll have to compromise on cruise Sunroof but new car will give u peace of mind .

If the grande is in perfect condition .go for that one .

New car is the best option. Weather in Pakistan hardly allows use of sunroof and very few places where you can engage cruise control. I would suggest a new 1.6.

Thanx brothers.. I think I shall go for New Altis 1.6..
But I need clarity about two things..
1).. How much our car may b safe from theft by immobilizer.. Heard that nowdays theives have JUGARS to start cars without even using any key.. If so, where immobilizer feature stands?
2).. 2nd thing is about color.. Heard.. Incase of dent.. Matelic colors dont match properly if repainted..thats why its better to opt white.. In white.. You wont feel any such issue.. Is it true?
I like bronze mica and grey gaphite colors... So.. Will I get its proper match, if required in future?
Your valuable suggestions will help me take better decision..

U can get a 2016 model grande in 2.5 mill having immobilizer...... Go for 1.6 is a better in all terms except for 1.8cvt which has no match to 1.6ect.....grey grephite is very good color bronze mica is crap also it discontinued i guess....super white too common

I would suggest you to go for a brand new car facelift 1.6 Altis. Don’t go for old one if you have budget for new. Cvti cruisetronic is the least selling variant in facelift, and I won’t suggest it in facelift coz it’s lagging main features of safety like vsc and traction which are available in facelift grande.

is this the current 1.6 altis trim with chrome door handles and leather seats?

1.6 Altis is your best bet, you won’t regret it. Although, Grande is said to have better fuel economy than 1.6 Altis, that might be true, I own a 1.6 2016 Altis, and it’s fuel average in the city ranges between 10-13km/L, on a stop and go traffic, though I haven't driven it on the motorway so far, though it's known for giving 16-17km/L on long, which isn't that bad if you ask me. ‘14-15 Grande is a little older in design and the new FL has much better design, leading to a better resale value.
Brother, I'll advise you to no go for metallic color, go for a Super White, it shines much brighter in the sun. About scratches on a metallic color; yes they are more visible to the human eye, and MOSTLY the repainted panels’ paint fades away, indicating that the panel was repainted. This can be avoided if it's repainted from Dealership (MAYBE)

Hope you find car of your interest, best of luck!
