Hi, am Ali. I just planned to drive as Careem captain. Am willing to drive 12-14 Hrs per day. Can you all guide me which car would be better ?

I heard that, on careem most of people choose "Go" or "Go+" And somebody suggested me to buy a Hybrid car i.e.Toyota Aqua.

Someone also suggested me 660cc cars. But issue lie in these are as under:

AC is not made for hottest place like Pakistan summer season
Parts availability is still a big issue if available it will be more expensive
Mileage (I cant confirm)
Resale (Dont know)

Now i have 3 choices
1. Toyota Aqua (Bcz of fuel efficiency)
2. Faw v2 (Bcz it will be a new car)
3. Honda city IDSI model because it is i think a fuel efficient than Ivtec. For this i need you help to choose.

What is your budget?

as a cream/uber user. WagonR is the worst car i have sit in. suspension is so weird that you keep bouncing at back seat. I always prefer 'Go+' because of AC and Comfort. So as a user I would suggest you to buy XLI/GLI/City.

As a Careem captain, you will be doing excessive driving. I would suggest you to get an Automatic transmission car. For GO+ suggestions are Toyota Corolla GLI Automatic 1300 CC (for good petrol milage) , Honda City 1300 cc Automatic. If you are looking for GO then Japanese 660 cc cars like Mira, Move, Alto etc are recommended.

For go I would also recommend 660cc JDM like Mira, WagonR, EK wagon, etc , because of comfort and awesome fuel economy.
But be careful and don't buy and accidental repair as mostly its AC and Fuel economy both are crap . I use a lot of careem, I always use Go and AC is a "must" requirement in summers these days.

Buy 660cc auto car, don't even think about sedan or go+, I m running w.r stingery in careem. No 1 suggestion is Mira or move.

are you driving it yourself or you got a driver? How much average do you get with WR Stingray? Plus
how much do you manage to make each month after deducting all expenses?

harib4u (harib4u) 2017-06-03 04:19:05 +0500 #8

Run with driver, av 14_18 kmpl all time ac on, If you drive your self 11_12 hours you can make 70k + with driver 40k+.

10-11 lacs

As you know, 88% of Careem app users prefer "Go" Ride due to economical prices. Therefore i kept in mind that i must need a car which should be

Fuel efficient
Chilling AC performance
Cheaper parts and common availability in Lahore

pwuser149560659747 (Ali ) 2017-06-19 17:34:42 +0500 #12

It is good car. But it has some issues

AC is not made for hottest place like Pakistan summer season
Parts availability is still a big issue if available it will be more expensive
Mileage (I dont know clearly)
Resale (Dont know)

aliadnan1984 (Ali Adnan) 2017-06-20 11:34:13 +0500 #13

no air bags , mileage only 1000 ! ... definitely for sure accidental and repaired refurbished here. its a lemon . don't buy. If you want to the get worth of you money from JDM only buy fresh import with "verify-able" auction sheet. agar auction sheet online verify nhi hoti don't believe "anything" they say. its all bullshit

wagonR good grade gives you around 18 (with AC) to 21+ (without AC) KM/L avg in city , I am an owner of it so i know. AC is good for 1-2 person even in full heat , but ofcourse don't expect it to work fast like 1000+ cc but in about 10-15 minutes driving it cools the cabin even good even with full passengers.
regular maintenance like oil change filter etc is not expensive. yes original parts are as they are imported. but if you drive carefully (which everyone should ) you wont need spareparts for years. Alhamdulillah no accident in last 2-3 years and no kharcha by grace of Allah.

haider685 (M Abubakr) 2017-06-21 03:14:24 +0500 #14

It is R grade and with verify-able auction sheet so don't call it bullshit. Also Japan Yard pictures are available. We don't do business by telling lie or hiding something from customers. We make things transparent to customers and it is up to the customer weather they want to buy or not..

Dont be offended brother. I did not open the link and just read the following which was showing in the forum post :

Wagon R : Demand 11,50000/-
Mileage : Only 1000 KM
Manufacturing Year 2016
ENE-Charge (Hybrid technology).
No airbags....
In my reply I only said bullshit to those whose auction sheets are not verify-able and show false auctionsheet with 3.5 - 4 grade . aisay bohat se hain market main . You are doing honest business aur Allah us main barkat de ga.

Dear Ali Adnan
I know its not relevant here but as you are driving JDM wagon r since 3 years. Ever you changed your gear oil? If yes then of what brand? I am also having wogon r 2011 manufactured.

aliadnan1984 (Ali Adnan) 2017-06-22 14:38:08 +0500 #20

i have wagonR for about 1.5+ years now before that i had coure for 2 years . so I was talking about owning car for 2-3 years . till now my wagonR total mileage is around 40k .. so i have not changed gear oil yet . but when i do it will either be original Toyota CVTF (tin pack) or Caltex CVTF green because the manual says it should be CVT F Green .
