New Suzuki Cultus VXL 2018 Owners Review

[pwuser151957030726]

For hash so plz dont calculate the avg on half tank basis. Always calculate on full tank to full tank basia

[hash737]

Please refer to earlier posted pictures and manually calculated pictures of the tank.

[hash737]

Its just an ok place. Have tea nd sheesha. Food is horrible. better to visit in daylight .
If you enjoy driving in mountains try going thru masiuru link road to murree. Its the best road pakistan has to offer

[mhasnat0]

i've been there on Mehran twice and I don't use handbrake even once.

[suhaibayaz]

I am Lahore based Islamabad visits are mostly due to work and that’s why Day time is occupied at office. Will be coming by the end of this month and try to take a few days off to check that route you mentioned.

[hash737]

yes you should not use handbrake at all, the whole idea when climbing a mountain is to maintain your momentum. as this thread is regarding cultus 2018 review i will mention here is that cultus climbed the link road in second gear thru out graciously.

[mhasnat0]

First you'll be at Monal then at Highland. It's a thrilling way.

[umairalizafar]

I have been to Pir Sohawa, as well as the similar, but longer stretches of Kiwai-Shogran and Khaigala-Toli Pir roads many times. These are calculated to be around 11-15% gradient, as opposed to 38% gradient of the NZ road I shared earlier. Quite a lot of difference.

[hash737]

Kiwai shogran and similar roads are levelled roads buddy what are you on about. Ive driven at midnights many times on that road. Please try going down to highland country club. Im sure your googled claim of NZ road would be null and void

[umairalizafar]

Kiwai Shogran road is levelled road? I guess you have been to some other place instead of that. May be you are confusing it with the Naran KKH. Kiwai Shogran is one of the roughest and steepest roads in Pakistan's northern areas. And one can't get to that road without being on first or second gear. And as I have mentioned earlier, I have been to Pir Sohawa several times. It is not more than 15% gradient, that too, at some of the steep turns, or probably you are calculating it the wrong way.

[umairalizafar]

Okay, so here are the calculations,

Kiwai is 1463m Above sea level.
Shogran is 2463m above sea level.
Total road distance among the two is 7km (distance of road).
Elevation angle: Rise/Run = 0.899/7 x 100 = 12.85% on average.

Highland Resort is 1433m above sea level
Islamabad Zoo is 540m above sea level.
Total distance between the two (road distance): 15 km
Elevation angle: Rise/Run = 0.893/15 = 5.95% on average. Even if we consider the total climb to be 10 kms, even then the elevation angle comes out to be 8.93%.

So the overall gradient of Kiwai Shogran "levelled" road is higher than that of Pir Sohawa road/Highland Resort. Now, there might be stretches where the elevation angle of Pir Sohawa road is higher, like upto even 15% seems plausible, but stating that the elevation is more than 38% is simply wrong.

Before reacting to a post, just for a moment, think that may be you can also be wrong, just may be.

[hash737]

Bhai khuda ka wasta just dont throw anything to prove someome wrong. I guess i went down to totally wrong school. Who the hell in the earth is comparing pir sohawa climb with anything in this world. I climb pir sohawa in my bicycle twice every week. Before you start googling more things let me know ill share pics and also share pics of my legs which make me bicycle 30km stretch in isb everyday.

Its not the total elevation but the amount of elevation you gain in span of little stretches werna accroding to your googled logice babusar pass i have crossed more thb 10 times is 13000ft thru which i should get gold on extreme sports.

Highland resort is 7km.further ahead and once you reach its turn you switch the mountain and it takes only 2 turns to resch highland country but the elevation gain on those two turns is propably around a 15-18 storey high building.

Ab khuda ka waasta maaf ker dien google ko Ur mujhay. Come to islamabad ill take you to these places on car and the on bicycle.

P.s the kiwai shogran track you are mentioning can be climbed by any average driver who is born in islamabad.

Please please drive on musiari link road google is not always your best friend dont teach yourself thru google.

Also if you have been to northern pakistan you must have.surely been to nanga parbat base camp. The road from raikot to fairy meadows-nanga parbat base camp is something from hell. Kiwai-shogran is nothing believe me mate.

My only mistake was posting some percentage gradients and comparing some roads against which you are just trying so hard to prove me wrong with your thaka hoa kiwai-shogran road ghalti maaf plz

[umairalizafar]

Thek he yar. The whole world is wrong. The math is wrong. Guinness is wrong. You are right. And well you can never be wrong. Who was I kidding, trying to tell you something. You will alter everything to make yourself right. The height ur car went was for once 90 degrees of ascent. You have a really champ of a car that produces 1000hp and doesn't consume any fuel at all.

Oh and yes, whatever someone else is saying is all Google stuff and nobody can know anything without consulting Google.

[hash737]

Im sorry if something i wrote offended you. Only was really sharing my first hand knowledge and experience. The only point sharing over here about elevation of road was car climbing yet maintaining superb fuel efficiency. This a shitbox when it comes to comparing its power to a laymam car i.e civic or corollla but does the job and does it quite well

[hash737]

Car update.

There was a specific buzzing sound coming from the audio unit of the car whenever there is a shredded road or any road vibration coming thru.

I called the dealership yesterday and told them the scenario they said to come.tomorrow and get it replaced under warranty. Today i went to IG motors Suzuki islamabad and they replaces it with new unit under warranty.

V.good experience with suzuki and this dealership so fsr as they are honouring warranty without arguing. The guy in shalwar qameez was clarion representative and was very professional in replacing the unit.

The new unit face plate is faded black just the rest.of.interior when it was new. Needs some loving from maguirs ultimate interior and will show its real beauty.

Kisi cultus owner nay audio unit ki jaga pe touch screen install karae hy ??

[saad.ikram.5688]

Before selling my 2006 JDM Alto i used to take my car to Suzuki Central and it was just an okayish dealer ship, i always had to wait a long time to get my car serviced.
I was hesitant to take my car to Suzuki IG cause it was a small dealership and new one but by far the best Suzuki Dealership i have seen. They are co-operative, quick and have a very friendly staff. They dont sell parts at high cost like others and always make sure that you are happy before leaving the dealership

[ziiiab3]

Daihatsu Boon VS Cultus automatic which one is better ?

[zuhaibafzal]

go for Vitz in this price bracket

[512a]

Well first of all congrats for the car, I know it's a bit late but still congrats once again. Actually we are going to buy a new car , currently we have a cultus 2003 and gonna replace it. Following are the short listed cars in which I'm interested :-
Vitz
City( would opt for it if didn't like any other)
Swift
Price bracket is around 1.2-1.3 millions, was not interested in cultus but after reading your posts, I wanna give it a chance, I have few questions to ask you and other members if you guys don't mind.
1- how is the ride comfort? I mean Is it comparable to 2nd gen vitz?
2- how is the cabin noise? Is it comparable to vitz 2nd gen?
3- How is the build quality? I know that it won't compete with jdms but is it close or near to swift or city?
4- how is the grip at or above the speeds of 120km/H?
5- does the car feel like it is underpowered?
Note : asked for comparison with regards to vitz 2nd gen as I liked the build and ride quality of vitz 2nd gen which is under the use of my uncle.
Looking forward for replies. Thanks
