At first glance Mehran VXR 2012 or 2013 is the best options because it's an economical car. Below there are several pros and cons of this car that I will mention:

Pros:
1. It's fuel economy is good (16 - 18 Km/liter)
2. It's spare parts and accessories are really inexpensive.
3. It's Maintenance charges are really low.
4. It has a 800 cc engine and you don't need to pay annual tax (token renewal) just pay a small amount for the life time token.

Cons:
1. No ABS (Anti-Locking Breaking System).
2. No power steering, power windows, power side mirrors etc.
3. No HID headlights by default.
5. Back wheels have leaf suspensions (Kamania) instead of spring suspensions.
6. Need more maintenance than big cars.
7. Not much comfortable.
8. Air conditioning is not reliable.

@fezanqadirbhatti i understand your point but i am more interested in buying a big space car

[fezanqadirbhatti]

Then old Model Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic are best option. I'm pretty sure you would get a 2001 - 2004 Model Toyota Corolla or Honda in 5.5 Lac to 7 Lac but it depends on car condition and your skills for buying a car.

Location? Out of the three mentioned, cultus is the best option

[mujtabasajawal]

Baleno is a better option.

Islamabad

[iamumair2003]

@dayrider but isnt it that cultus and baleno give almost same mileage plus there is no difference in the price of spares and other

In this Budget you can only get clean Mehran

[dayrider]

Balenos are usually abused, getting a clean one is next to impossible. If you want a baleno, my advice would be to get the 1.6, the 1.3 is notorious for stopping on road sides for unorthodox issues. Cultus are fairly easy to find and alot easier to maintain, do remember one thing, never get its carburetor opened, look for a vehicle with a genuine carb and engine, and that should do wonders for you. I had one for 12 years, never had any issues, drove it 175k kms, and still went strong on the original engine

honda city 1st gen 97-99 is a very economical and reliable car,baleno is not a reliable car plus its known for its,suspension and coil issues because of cng

[SALMANWASEEM]

I think you can also find a good condition cultus in your budget

[iamumair2003]
