I feel it's an amazing ride inspired by its older sibling- the toyota camry! With its superior style & unmatchable comfort, the corolla again marks its footsteps as a trend-setter! The luxurious interior grasps the onlooker into its beauty. With the comparisons now being held all over the world with the Honda Civic reborn, the corolla has outdone itself by enhancing in stability, power & comfort leaving behind the civic for the first time! Now with its triptronic gear & cruise control, it excels all the other cars in its price range.

The rear of the vehicle, although highly similar to the previous corolla, still continues to be an icon of style. When i first saw the corolla cruisetronic, i was a littil bit disappointed because of its drastic similarity to the previous corolla, but i gained respect for it in time becuase of the high quality drive it has & its edges & cuts giving it a sporty touch.

Toyota has again given its engine a sound that amazes people in acceleration. According to my opinion, if u can afford to buy a cruisetronic, go ahead! Enjoy.

Chevrolet Joy is a good balanced, roomy and a bit luxurious car when compared to Alto and coure. It has MPI engine that is better than both coure and alto engine. It has good suspension. It has power windows and power steering functions. Not found in coure and alto. The drive is pretty smooth.

However , there some negatives as well. Its not as popular as coure or Alto. It resale value is not good either. Maintenance is quite expensive compared to coure and alto. Maintenance points are also limited across the country.

However , buying this car is worth the money spent.

Coure is a nice small car with comfortable interior and shining exterior as compared to Mehran. However some poeple compare it with Suzuki alto . Perhaps its not a bad comparison. Price wise both Alto and Coure are almost the same.
The good points include low maintenance cost , good technical support across the country , nice driving experience compared to Meharan and even Alto. Interior is of good quality. Parts availablity is not an issue. Suspension is good.
Negative points include not roomy interior, not a family car and overly priced.

i bought the civic vti manual one and to my surprise the finish and quality of the interior was way inferior to of them the older ones ,i m talking about 06 or 05's the inner feel of the new civic is shallow as well as most of them have a problem of passenger side window channel i m saying many as i have 2 of them and faced same with both , secondly when you have to close the trunk its specific point where you need to apply force otherwise it wont close. if u take the car to dealership they will tell you abt the window fault to be there in many of them .
now the drive experience the drive is superb smooth and acceleration is very decent and the feel of steering wheel is like it makes you feel in control of the vehicle totally. fuel economy is also good . but tyres TYRESSSSS oh my Allah they have reduced the quality of the tyres and at the top of it after charging 1.6 million you walk away with no alloy wheels in the tyre but lame wheel cups n unreliable tyres . i got tyres of one changed and the othr one is on the origionals and driving the later one is like horrible it gives you a feeling of a URAN TASHTARI.
all from my side
forgot one thing the audio unit is good in quality.
ASH TRAY it took me 2 weeks to figure out ashtray i mean its a seperate cup which can be misplaced eaisly and hence negative marking of the car on that ground.

I bought this late 2008 from Honda sales near Bhatta chowk in Lahore. The dealer kept saying I need to buy asap as the prices will go up (which they did). It was strange as in the US prices of cars were falling and here in Pak it was going up.

The car came with NO balancing of tyres and no alignment. I had to pay Rs1000 from my own pocket on this, in retrospect I should have given the dealership a piece of my mind rather than the cash.

The trunk too did not work well, the sales guy kept claiming it was a "feature" and not a bug. Got it fixed later by the dealership though.
Seems honda has major quality issues in Pakistan, the founding Japaneses honda will surely be turning in his grave (I assume he's dead by now)!

GOOD:
1. Nice looks. Much better than the retard corolla
2. ABS brakes
3. Good economy, get anywhere from 10-13 km / liter (and i drive a little on the fast side)
4. Decent acceleration

BAD:
1. DECK: the multi CD deck does not remember the records of other CD's played. It does not have a remote. Does not allow for skipping to song numbers (mp3). Does not support bluetooth, or iPod etc
2. No cruise control. Needed for motorway driving
3. ABS: I had to use them while the car was <5000 KM and it nearly failed. The engineers on 5K service said it *might* have been related to loose bolts that they tightened. Had to use them again after that and then the response was much better

UGLY:
1. Steering control (lack thereof). Deck control from steering should be standard in any full size car
2. General tires. I've heard good things about them lately, but I'm not going to trust anything less than known brands when I drive at or over 120 on motorway
3. Engine Knocking. Honda says i should put high octane ...havent tried that as yet.
4. Honda's stopped Guard from making the cheaper oil and air filters. Servicing as a result is much more expensive!

I have had a Baleno since 2004. Before this I used to own a Suzuki FX.

Given my experience with the FX, the Baleno came as quite a surprise because before purchasing the Baleno I had come to the conclusion that Suzuki did not know how to manufacture a decent car.

If you sit in an Alto or a Cultus or FX for that matter, they seem to share quite a few common driving characteristics.

The Baleno however, is a different beast altogether. This car drives more like a Toyota (people may disagree).

This is my fifth year with the car and it has not given me any trouble. I have only done the regular maintenance that is required for all cars.

The car also has an excellent Factory fitted CNG kit which gives great mileage both in and out of the city.

Even today when I think about getting another used car I feel that there is no car out there with such a good balance of features and performance at the price it is currently available for.

About the only downside is the brand issue. A Suzuki, no matter how good, can never be a Honda or a Toyota.

On whole Corolla is a very nice car and the new model is having very refreshing look compared to the old one and comfortable too.

Its comfort,looks,power,performance are so impressive that it can flatter anybody to fall in love with it.

The Toyota engine gives you the confidence that it can take you anywhere in the world without giving a second thought and resale is also superb.

Owning this car is like owning a sports car if you get sporty air spoiler fitted and cruise on highway which it can easily ask you to cross a speed of 140kmpl above that.

Mehran is one of the most successful model of Suzuki. Its a car that is mostly seen on Pakistan roads. Almost 70 percent of the car is manufactured in Pakistan. Why this car is very popular and successful? Well, in 800 cc category , for a very long time , Mehran was the only choice and affordable too to middle class.Still not too many options available when it comes to 800 cc category.
There are some negatives in Mehran too. Its interior and exterior is of poor quality and deteriorates quickly. Suspension , gears , brakes , in fact almost all the part wear out quickly. Doors , locks and seats are very pathetic.THe ride is quite bumpy when driving on coarse paths. Yes , it has a low maintenance expenditure. Plus good support country wide.In the price range of Mehran , people are left with nothing but Mehran. Thats the success point of Suzuki Mehran in my view.
