7 years with the jeep and still going strong

Considering the price increase in the automobile industry, this is a perfect value for money jeep. No doubt the running cost (fuel, oil change etc) of this vehicle is a bit high as compared to other vehicles but i would prefer it over any modern sedan or anything the comes under the same price tag. Driven it for 130k+ kilometres but the jeep never broke down or gave any sort of malfunctions. Perfect for off-roading as 3 doors gives a better maneuver . Its equipped with double wishbone and 4 linked suspension which gives the passenger a less bumpy ride when comparing it with other suvs of the same category/year. 3RZ-FE engine gives an average of around 6.5-7 kmpl which isnt bad when considering a 4x4.

Honda city 2004 is in my family since 2007.when we bought the car it was low mileage car and now the actual mileage of the car is 450k. Car have all the necessary features like Ac, power windows, power steering, heater etc. Air conditioner performs very well. Car have a very comfortable seats and also have good leg space. Car fuel average in city is around 11-12 with ac and on motorway it give 15 to 16 with ac. Car spare parts are easily available but some parts are very expensive for example steering rack cost 18000. There are also some known faults in the car, first of all its engine coil heats up and shorts frequently as because they are located near to exhaust manifold, second fault is that it Electronic power steering fails which also a costly repair. Engine performance is very very good as it never feel under powered and can easily go upto 140km/h,on that speeds car never vibrates and is in excellent grip. Car is value to money if you keep it well maintained

I have driven this vehicle for three years now. I have been to Naran, Babusar top, Gilgit as well as Muzafarabad and Upper Neelam valley. Ride is excellent and ground clearance is enough to take you to all these places mentioned above without any problems.
I installed center console, sill plates and DRL lights from Lahore as centre console is specially required in older version of BRV.
Initially there was a problem with traction and had problems climbing steep mountains but then I changed tyres to Continental and since then grip and traction has improved and recently I went to Pir Chinasi and Upper Neelam Valley and Upper Neelam Village in Azad Kashmir without any problems (with five people and luggage). So my advice is change tyres to good quality ones.
Fuel economy is 10-11 in city and 11 on motorway and lower in mountainous areas. The main problem is that fuel capacity is only 40 laters so you have to keep topping up fuel frequently. Overall an excellent all purpose vehicl
