i was previously driving a alto 07 on cng , the poor mileage and performance led me to buy a vitz 07 , after driving vitz for more than a year i have deduced following facts-
-
Troublesome in maintaining its condition and MARKET VALUE i paid a bit high for the car by virtue of its condition ( because it is scratch less and no paint jobs till date) this is a good thing but it makes you over cautious while driving or some friend asks for ur car or even parking it in a crowded place, it is worth mentioning that u buy a car to have no troubles but maintaining the market price cannot be overlooked and it becomes annoying after some time.

NOT A CONVINCING FUEL AVERAGE IN GENERAL After driving the car for more than a year and experiences from friends/ relatives who own vitz I am convinced that that this car cannot do more than 10 kmpl in general regardless of its condition, with normal car maintenance, all guys claiming more than this average are either hypermilling or spend alot on maintainence.
3the condition deteriorates a bit fast , resulting downgrading market value if u have purchased a car for 10 lak and after u drive it for a year u should expect 9 lac if u have maintained it well , all i want to summarize is that this car cannot give u profit easily,
4 costly parts for a joy ride like vitz u have to pay the price in spare parts as well , this fact should also be considered
now coming over to coure with its benifits that i am looking
1. low price maintenance
2. rugged car , means u can drive it with no worries of road conditions or if some relative or friend asks for it
3. good market value
3. good average
4. better than any small car available in market, i.e alto , Mehran, Cultus, Japanese alto, even i prefer it over Mira
based on my deductions please give ur valuable input in making decision, because taking opinion is Sunnah and beneficial, please take some time and suggest with details it would be highly appreciated
