New vs used is always a point of consideration for any buyer.
But buying a new vehicle with a smaller engine and less durability and with many well known issues isn't a wise decision, particularly when you have an option of a good vehicle in the same price range.
Faw V2 is way better than cultus and is also a hatchback and is even cheaper too.
Current shape of city is in market from last 10 years and has no known issues at all. And it hits a good mileage too.
Yes buying a used vehicle can be a pain at the same time as well, but with services like Pakwheels inspection service, it has become very easy to make a good decision. Better buy a good used car rather than a smaller new car.
