My advise to everyone would be just don't ignore small thing keep those things in mind that will give you an idea of how well maintained the car is !!!

[chinyoti]

Daihatsu Mira
Honda City

id suggest to stay away from such old Corollas, Most are rent driven and repaint covered up.

Altis 06/08 are very hard to find in decent condition,
If available then asking price will be around 2.5 million rupees

Is picanto AT also an good option ??

[chinyoti]

Yes. But for Picanto keep atleast 2.4 million for a good car upper model car.

Stay away from Vitz. In this budget you'll on get a messed up car. For vitz keep a budget of alteast 2.5 million.

[zee5han]

Its an excellent car BUT you can get 10-11km/L average MAX

Max budget is 2.4 to 2.5million actually i was thinking to buy a car underbudget but can't find a decent car in 2.0million !!

Saw a few alto ags to but Local alto is too FRAGILE & i live in Karachi if a minor hit by a bike or rickshaw could break the boot floors seal !!

Picanto overall build quality is wayyy ahead to Suzuki , id say its even better than swift , bought a 2023 model for 3.2 million for my better half, just 8k driven kia maintained, even had yokohama tires leather seats etc but it does just 300-320km in one full tank. Overall way better than any used and abused 2014-2015 vitz, passo or any upmodel 660cc if fuel economy is not the main concern.

[dayrider]

Picanto has no resale, bad rear leg space and the fuel consumption of a truck 🤪 kia has bad aftersale behaviour. So it's definitely not the best choice, not to mention trying to pull off fog lights as drl and having them fuse out every few months

[ali.7861]

So yesterday I met a potential buyer for my Mira,
They didn't come with mechanic but they inspected it took a test drive checked the Ac & all,
Before all that they asked me if they can get get the car inspected via PakWheels so I said sure,
I told them to bring their mechanic & Danter tomorrow get it inspected & be assured,
Today when I asked they if they're interested
Said SAMJH MAI NAHI AYI
Don't leave people in lingo like this, they say it that you are not interested.

[chinyoti]

For the price of an Alto, Picanto isn't a bad deal actually

[dms664]

bad

Only if your petrol is free

[dayrider]

Priority dependent. Tall people can't compromise on leg space, many people can't compromise on economy.
Let alone the maintenance difference

[sohikun]

bad rear leg space

It's a nightmare, but picanto is definitely better in terms of build quality.

the fuel consumption of a truck

I have received mixed reviews at my shop, but majority claimed 10-13 km/l within city & 13-15 km/l highway. Some claimed 8km/l within city, meh!

Tall people can't compromise on leg space,

Lol !!! Tall ppl ?!? Even my friend, who is around 5 feet 4 couldn't fit inside picanto ( back ). It's beyond terrible ~ ( leg spacing )

Let alone the maintenance difference

Yea, that would a huge diff for some ppl ~ others don't care about it.

[chinyoti]

Itna farq nae hai bhai, Unless you drive 100 kms a day.

[chinyoti]

Thats why i said, Better at the price of an ALTO. Picanto isnt a ideal / first choice for the price of Swift or Cultus.

And its not like Picanto returns fuel average of 5 or 6 kmpl. For home driven cars a 1.3 Corolla and City dont return more then 9 kmpl too.

Now the argument comes thoose are bigger cars, Ager kissi ke pass pesei hee kam hon dont have too many options staying with the latest models.

Suzuki Swift is still selling on Premium priceing dispite being pricier then City and Yaris

[dms664]

Suzuki Swift

New Swift returns a very good fuel average.

[ali.7861]

Suzuki Swift

New Swift returns a very good fuel average.

3.8million rupees for used Swift CL CVT
Around 5 million rupees for CL CVT Brand new with registration insurance etc
