City is more stylish than Corolla has cheap black interior, it now has got beige interior which is even better than Corolla's...City is really fun to drive, pick is great because when you are drving the VTEC kicks in and you enjoy it...Corolla has some major advantages over City that

Its Much more comfortable than City because as we all know that City has unfortunately got a hard suspension so the ride is less comfortable which i simply can't understand the actual reason behind this which only Atlas Honda knows because it is such a nice car, Sleek and Stylish but the reality is that the drive of Corolla isn't comfortable only its seats are comfortable which means the ride is comfotable but CITY IS THE CAR WHICH HAS GOT comfortable drive but uncomfortable ride quality and City is not a good performer on bumpy roads such as in villages and it can also not sustain heavy drives while Corolla has all these benfits!!!

Corolla has a bigger and solid body which is very durable for years while City is a bit sensitive in this case

Now coming to the other side City has good power to weight much better pick and a very smooth drive as the its engine horsepower and torque is more than Corollas!!!

City has got very cool colours such as Alabaster Silver, Taffeta White, Polish Metal, Deep Lapis Blue Metallic, Crystal Black, Habanero Red amd and Bold Beige Metallic!!!

and coming to the end i believe that the brakes of City are better than Corolla as they are ABS AND YOU KNOW Honda ABS is awesome!!!

So the conclusion of my review is that Corolla is a car for old people
while City is the choice for younsters!!!

Toyota Camry is a well renowned brand all over the world due to its reasonable price and reliability stats. Then again in Pakistan; we are a little different then the rest:). Here its among the best cars available from the Company. We get only 2.4 version with almost basic trim while in Australia and other countries it also comes in 3.0. This car has a descent history in Pakistan.

Overall:
This car overall has nice lines, comfortable interior, descent looks and its among the more reliable cars. It wont feel under powered if not powerful and does have good road grip and a feel for the driver. While one negative aspect is that it does not have that low center of visual gravity like other cars.

Performance:
It comes in 2.4L and wont feel under power in any regard. The maintenance is least although a little bit expensive. The car is responsive and feels great as a daily driver. The ride is comfortable and pleasant while at times braking on wet surfaces might get it a little off balance. The car has Electronic Power Steering (EPS), Anti-Lock Braking (ABS), Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD). While this particular trim does not have any Vehicle Assistance or Stability Controls.

Interior:
Interior is in beige and comfortable with 8-way supportive seat, electronic driver and passenger seat. Comes with sunroof, 6 in-dash cd/mp3 player with steering buttons. It has automatic climate control and the A/C is a class of its own and comes with ion filter, which wont stress engine even if driving uphill and does not either effect fuel economy. It has auto-headlamps and rain sensing wipers which are convenient features. The interior is nicely laid out with everything in total reach of the driver. Car comes with pinch-free Auto Glass side mirror and retractable and auto side mirror. The car has a built in security system with immobilizer and security alarm.

Mileage:
Local with A/C 9-9.5 km/L
Local without A/C 10 km/L
Highways with A/C 12-12.5 km/L
Highways without A/C 13km/L
The mileage is descent provided driving the car with slightly heavy foot.

Pros:
Descent engine with good mileage and power band
Comfy and spacious interior
A daily driver
Good sterio system

Cons:
Expensive parts
Wet braking is at times an issue

Price:
The price of Camry in Pakistan started at around 23 Lacs which was just perfect but now it is almost touching 96 Lacs for the new model which has new shape and some new feature but that just does not compensate for 70lacs + of price hike.
I might settle for Mercedes Benz C or E class, may be Toyota Mark X 3.0g and there are a lot of other options.

Suzuki Alto (now discontinued) is a well reputed car in Pakistan even with its outdated engine and looks.

This car comes with the same engine that was used in Potohars back in 1980's with minor tweaks for CNG and fuel consumption. Over the passage of time Suzuki has hardly made any interior/exterior change. Car prices are constantly rising and its price started around 5 Lacs is not at 8,21,000 Rs which is not worth the product and you may opt for Imported Car in this range and even lower.

The handling is a nightmare on its Stock tyres, and the car is also extremely stiff and bumpy. So changing to softer and wider tyres is recommended, which will make a lot of difference in its comfort and grip. The car will handle fine till 80kms; above that and you will feel like losing it. It comes with hydraulic steering system which is acceptable for the reason that EPS at high speeds due to high steering sensitivity will become a risk.

Interior wise this car has sub standard build quality and squeaks from a new car are nothing new. Recently they changed the traditional cassette player to JVC CD/mp3 Player. The seats are a little uncomfortable specially while turning when the body roll takes over and you literally start moving to the sides. The A/C works just fine if not good.

Exterior wise the looks still come from the 90's and nothing has been upgraded; it even does not have rear screen defrost

The positive point is its spare parts. They are as cheap as anything and you can get them from almost everywhere at some serious cheap price. So driving in traffic takes the edge off you.
Economy on CNG is around 4Rs/Litre while on Petrol with A/C; local it would hardly give you 12km, on Long route it increases to 14km/l which is still not acceptable for 1000cc Carby engine.

This cars engine has been discontinued worldwide and recently this model was taken off the chart from Suzuki Pakistan.
