I ve had my ride for about 8 months now. i shifted from a Cuore, so i had a genuine learning experince first few months.

All in all, City is an excellent car.

Body&interior:
It is shaped beautifully, and the interior is awesome as well. In fact, the car is very roomy when you sit inside. The Dashboard is highquality and well laid out with dual glove compartments adding to the benifit.
The seats are comfortable (atleast to me) and the car has ample bootspace (even with CNG).

Engine/Mechanics:
The car is very smooth and feels powerful enough in city driving (never drove on a highway yet). The best part about this car is its milage rate and the Air Conditoner. The car is a dream to drive, both on CNG and Petrol, and summers are enjoyable with the level of cooling it provides. The braking and accelration is good as well

All in All, it is a goood car for city driving by a small family.

The cons, that i have felt are below: (in my humble opinion. please dont start a honda vs toyota fight)

1) The engine bay is a bit cramped and low on space. especially if you get CNG installed, you ll have a bit of trouble in changing the light bulbs.

2) being a honda, i dont really like its suspension. It is superb, but only as long as you drive on good paved roads. It deteriotes faster than a corolla if driven on rough roads. Plus, its suspension works are costlier to maintain.

3) The Lights, in my car, its always one bulb or the other that is going out in teh headlights. i have 3 mates with the same car and we all have a residen tproblem with our headlights.

4) again, in all 3 cars of this model that i have driven, i have come to not trust the fuel gauge. even 500 rs worth of petrol sends its needle soaring to the middle. i just think its a bit un reliable.

5) the side frame f windscreen deals a serious blow to visibility, especially whole turning on junctions (but you get used to it)

all in all, it is a good car. but i would rather go for a corolla if given the option now, solely because of the suspension as i drive on rought roads a bot.

Hope this helps.

Most of the people runaway from diesel technology these days, yes this is the same car which was most popular among all variants a decade ago. I bought it because the route I travel doesnt have CNG or Patrol and among diesel Corrola is the best option.

Its very economical, and control is under your right feet, if you manage to maintain on 2000rpm, your trip average will be 19-20KM/Ltr. Apart from economy it has Driver Airbag and ABS which is another+ over the patrol variants in the same price range. Corrola is the only car made for Pakistani bumpy roads, no other car performs like her on such roads. I highly recommend this car to wheelers who have mileage excessive of 4000KM/Month

i own this car since 10 feb 2005 and mine is a 2002 model offcourse it had problems and still every month something breaks down
as my car is old its still better build engine is japnese sulf radiator is japnese and i my self installed many things to make it After market car so its a bit better then new ones
i recently drove a new mehran which costed the owner nearly 600K and its nothing but a tin can with an engine shody build quality and many factory faults even wiene from the gear box
rather then buying this tin can save ur money and buy a old civic or corolla or evan baleno in that money
i hate it Extermly over priced and no comfort what so ever

It is the car which everyone buys because he can not buy any other, or he wants to sell it. It is ready cash car and very good sale resale value, but still i bet its the worst car in the whole world, even if you compare it with 624 cc Nano made by Tata motor company india (which sells in india for 167k fully loaded= 320k PkRs) this this meharn will fail to justify its price of 550 for fully loaded still poor than 624 cc nano.
pak suzuki is the biggest theif and robber motor car company
About the car, it has 1982 G-08 carburetor engine. extremely noisy engine. engine is 3 cylinder so it vibrates a lot in idle condtion whcih feels inside the entire car. it can be fitted with AC but either car or AC will run, both cannot run at same time other wise car will over heat and/ or have no pick to even start from stopped at signal. more ever AC blower is very poor and has only two ducts in dash board.rear passenger are roasted and cannot get any air.
i have only given one star for fuel economy and that is only at CNG, not at Petrol. At petrol a 1.3 efi car will consume less than mehran,
This car has no safety and a real teen Daaba. this car has no comfort inside, seat are very hard, shock and suspension is very hard, rear suspension uses leaf spring which is only used in trucks other than this car now a days. it has no defogger, rpm meter, trip meter, remote fuel lid or back door open button,fog lamps, center console, cup holders.
it creates severe starting problems in winter on gas and even many times on petrol.
it has no road grip. brakes are the way very very pathetic and poor. inner space is very conjusted especially in front of driver, driver seems to be trapped between the seat and steering and windscreen, driving position is very bad, gears are the way too hard. alternator is poor, if you switch on lights, AC blower horn will fade out.
in factory fitted CNG version paksuzuki fit Rickshaw CNG kit which never speed up the car beyond 110 Km/hr. in short i want to kill all paksuzuki owners and share holder for making such a car at so high price.

I bought my chevrolet exclusive in 2005. Its the imported version with 800 cc engine.

To start with it is the best compact car around by a huge margin. Vitz comes in a different category and with a different price so cannot compare Vitz. Vitz is a better car than Chevrolet Joy or exclusive in my opinion.

Coming back to the car.

In last 5 years the only part that was replaced was reverse switch. Reverse light stopped working. Other than that the car is absolutely trouble free Mashallah.

Never been to mechanic, no unusual sounds, no cheap quality material used.

I love its fuel economy. It gives me between 18-21 km / liter on long routes and within city it gives an average of 13-14 km / liter. All this with ac and without extra effort to keep the fuel expense down by using a light foot etc. I don't have cng in it but I have seen trouble free exclusive / joy with cng. But who needs a cng when the avg is so damn good.

Its a safe car as compared to its competitors. It has the usual seat belts, plus it has collapsable steering wheel in case of impact with the steering during accident. The side doors have bars to give added protection in case of an impact.
It lacks ABS and airbags which is a disadvantage.

Front seats are pretty comfortable and a person of my height 6ft can easily and freely move around inside the car. Even the passengers at the back are seated comfortably something which is missing in santro, mehran and even swift.

The car is not built for performance but for its 800cc engine its pretty fast and if driven within limits it has good road grip. The height of the car is not great which in turns hits speed breakers or car breakers in our case, but height is kept low intentionally to keep a good road grip. Overall I can say that it can easily beat any car in its category with performance on stock engine.

Its a shame that the car couldn't make a place in the market and its discontinued now and a newer model is launched which is SPARK. Currently spark is imported and with high duties its not value for money in my humble opinion.
You can find a decent chevrolet joy in around 400k which is good value for money and overall I feel that its a car to keep. I believe my car can run trouble free for another 5 years or so.

Pros:
1- Excellent leg room for rear seat passengers (more
as compared to Corrolla)
2-Superb Fuel Mileage i get 12.5 with A/c within for
Urban Run. while in extra urban it gives 14.5)
3- Sporty Interior and sexy exterior.
4- Fuel lid opens and locks with the doors.(love this feature)
5- Beautiful Seat Fabric
6- Ergonomic sitting position, seats give a bucket feel.
7- Much better finish Quality than local competitors

Cons:
1- Good Clearance but with 5 passengers tends to
lower down (as compared to corrolla)
2- Noisy suspension
3- Softer Suspension( as compared with corrola)
4- A bit expensive- No rear speakers, NO light in the boot and no arm rest (its overseas cousins have a lot more toys for the same price)
5-Limited Color Choice

The Daihatsu cuore is a car from the 90’s so it doesn’t feel like a modern car at all. It was built to be basic and cheap and it sure is basic, but cheap…I don’t think so.

Even the engineers at the Daihatsu dealership admit that this car has some design faults which can’t be fixed especially some clutch related issues. Apart from that it is very reliable and easy to maintain and it’s always welcome in the second hand car market.

Very economical too just about runs on the smell of petrol ; an despite what you might read in other reviews; it is quite a nippy thing; for instance if you compared it with other brands 1.0 litre cars ; this one is ...

...it can hold it's own on open roads and overtakes ok too as long as you plan ahead and give it enough revs; it's quite willing and nips up to 70mph quite smartly. and will hold this speed quite happily on the motorway. The engine is quite up to this sort of behaviour and very willing to rev through the range; and indeed one thing that did surprise me was the flexibility of the engine; which will pull ; as long as you aren't in a hurry ;

I drove 3 Nissan in past. Armada, Titan and Quest. All three were awesome and good solid rides.

Unfortunately in Pakistan auto market is at the mercy of government. They promote whoever they like. I mean Suzuki is still selling cars that are not even 3rd generation while international market is offering 8th gen cars. Pakistani consumer makes way less than civilized world but somehow Pakistani consumer has to pay more for these crappy cars. Same cars are available in other developing nations way less than here in Pakistan.

This situation will never change until people in this country are given free right to make their own decision. Government needs to get the hell out of car business. Its not Government job. Government need to stop taxing personal cars so much. Its a necessity and not a luxury.
