By the grace of Almighty Allah got my new City delivered week ago and to define the experience in two words....LOVIN IT :)

well every one says that about his new ride :D coming to serious part...

STYLE: 5/5 ... well nothing is perfect but keeping in mind all the cars available in pakistan City is a class apart in style and i mean it , no matter from which angle you view it u just love the elegance and the sportish look...and city is the only car in pakistan on which every available color suits in a very unique way...interior is also very stylish and while driving u just keep admiring the strong and classy interior / visuals!

COMFORT: 4/5 .... its quite comfortable no matter u are at the drivers seat , the front passenger seat , or the back seat u will enjoy the ride alot! one doesnt feel fattigue no matter how long the drive!!!! AC is simply superbo0o0! Even at fan speed 2 it will chill ur **** out n i mean it! and the best thing is that rear passengers get instant kooling due to AC vents in the lower part of back seats! Arm rest adds to the comfort and there are so many places to stuff ur items! i read many views regarding hard suspension...frankly speaking it prooved nothing more than a mith :s

Performance : 4/5 .... awesome acceleration , doesnt feel like a family sedan once u try to push it a little too far , u will love the acceleration and the firmness and smootnes in the ride is indeed hard to find in any other paki car ive driven!

Value fo money : :-////////// rather 0/5 .... man 1.4 million is way too much for even a civic according to me and am way against car prices in pakistan ..... but yes frankly speaking hell better alue fo money than XLI (no offense) , but with the advent of 1.6 GLI these two cars are no longer comparable as 1.6 GLI is now a different class......anyways all cars are over priced :/ city n rolla should be 9lacs max

Fuel economy: just done 200 kms but getting 11.1 km/l and its bound to increase upto 14 km/l as ive noticed in many other pplz sheeti :) hence its good

Overall: .... Best buy in paki car market....i respect corolla and love it too (leaving aside XLI :D coz i expect power in anythng above 1 million) .... but i went for a city cox its cheaper and a bit better than GLI 1.3 in my eyes :) ..... hope this review elps...

A beautiful sedan with much improved specs than the previous 2002 corolla.

Stability is an issue as the car is UNDER POWERED. Power to Weight ratio is not satisfactory . BUT still much more stable than previous corolla model

ABS enhance the braking capability, which was not present previously , as the car tends to skid and go out of control at higher speeds.

The company must not compromise on certain specs which were ignored long time to decrease cost. Cost of NEW COROLLA is sufficient to include following necessary features :
1. Air Bags
2. Improved Metallurgy
3. Solid metal BUMPER protection before the PSEUDO plastic bumpers

1.LOOKS=10/10
2.DRIVE=SMOOTH .....9/10
3.LUXURY AND COMFORT=MARVELLOUS...... 9.5/10
4.SUSPENSION=10/10
5.BRAKES=10/10
6-AC=10/10
7.ENGINE=COMPACT.....10/10
8.ROAD CLEARENCE=OUT STANDING....FULL LOADED...10/10
9.CAPACITY(SPACIOUS)=10/10
10.TRUNK=VERY SPACIOUS.
11.EPS(electronic power stearing)=10/10...ITS MALAAI YAR......
12.NEW THING....THAT ITS COMPUTERIZED.....ALL THE CALCULATIONS ABOUT SYSTEM AND EVERYTHING IS INQUIRED BY CAR'S "MASTER CHECK SYSTEM"....
13.VERY GOOD BUILT IN TIRES.....
14.SEATS=10/10
15.ROAD GRIP=10/10
16=MILAGE...........CITY=14/L......HIGHWAY....17/L......9.5/10
17.AUDIO SYSTEM=9/10

I've read lots of reviews regarding this city n gli comparison....but heres my personal exprience,bcuz i've both.

CITY:
1)comfortable,seats much smoother n fine than corolla.
2)brakes much much better than gli,car never looses control even at high speeds of 150-160km/h,stops smooth.
3)fuel efficient,much better average than gli.
4)pick-up is gr8,it wouldn't let gli near it if u press the pedal hard.
5)Durable,dash board,body n car never starts giving sounds even at a milage of lacs.
6)suspension is very sensitive,works best on 4persons sitting n half the trunk empty.car touches the gound even at small jumps.
7)interior is good but as it is black so it catches much of dust n requires regular cleaning n care.
8)spare parts r very expensive as compared to gli.
9)hasn't got much of a re-sale.
10)once u've bought it,u don't need to go to a workshop for years.
Gli:
1)seats not comfortable,makes u tired at long journeys.
2)brakes r not good,car looses control on braking at high speeds n goes on one side if press the brake pedal hard.
3)got an average max. average of 12km/liter.
4)pick-up is good.
5)dash board n other parts starts making sounds even at a very low mileage of below 70,000.
6)Suspension is best for family travelling of 5 persons with trunk full of luggage,body never touches ground even on jumps.best for family of 5.
7)interior is better than city as it is of cream colour,doesn't catch much dust,u don't need to clean it again n again.
8)spare parts r cheap n available every where.
9)it has a great re-sale,da car is a running cheaque.

ALL IN ALL CITY IS FOR SENSITIVE PEOPLE,WHO KNOWS HOW TO MAKE CAR OF CARS N IT IS A WISE LONG TIME INVESTMENT
WHEREAS GLI IS A PASSANGER CARRIER,N RUNS GOOD FOR 3-4 YEARS.STILL ROCKS FOR FAMILY OF 5 EXCEPT DA BRAKES...

i drive Suzuki mehran for 15 years now i want to change this because of its ac and other things. i still want small car like mehran because of huge trafice of Lahore i survey on snatro cultus cpure. but i buy APL 2011alto its features are so good. 1.super cool ac. 2.not power but nice and light starring. 3.Good breaks. 4.nice and solid interior.5.power full engin.6.nice deck and front speakers not need for extra rear speakers. 7.nice and smooth drive. 8.not very heavy on cng like mehran.
its my opinion that its nice and good economical car on cng. i want to buy santro but i think that alto is more better than santo club gv or executive because they have closed. in small car its best. on the other hand price difference is short between . but in quality huge difference.
i am very satisfied with my car small comfortable ac its a very trust able care for me/

I bought City in Jun 2010. I did it after a very long researchthrough personal experince of ppl, internet, pakwheels and practical tests on City and GLi of my friends. I was very much fascinated and liking it. I had to travel to Islamabad, through motorway in Oct. My first long drive on City. After I reached back from Islamabad to Lahore.. the first thing I did was I sold out the City. Reasons were that I was dead tired during the journey and secondly the pick was not that impressive. I bought GLi on the very next day. I had to travel to Peshawar after a month. All the complaints which I had against the City were washed away by the GLi. I like City now. This review based upon my personal experience and is only to help others. Thnx
