I am driving this corolla Xli 2010 for the last one week and also drove city 2010 manual.

corolla is bigger car , more aggressive looking than city. its distinctive look is because of Camry adaption of design and its excellent value for money.

When you drive you will have smile on your face because it gives you the satisfaction that whatever you spend on this car is not going to be wasted.

The number of corolla sale is highest in Pakistan even surpassing Suzuki mehran, cultus. and latest figure showed Gli having major chunk of 3500 monthly sales for the last 9 months straight. till after a year of introduction the resale value is so good that those who bought it for Rs. 11,99,000 can easily sale this for Rs. 12,50,000.

The maintenance is still cheap as with previous generation corolla as you can buy air oil filters of Pakistan made or Thailand made at very cheap price. It has V Vti engine which gives you power as and when wanted or you can drive normally to have in city 10.50 km per liter mileage. Its accelerator is so responsive that you need to get adjusted in first few days. This was the problem in US Corolla and Camry but here as the floor carpet was different in which it stuck there. The ride is not as hard as of the previous model. its spacious and it has power to get 5 adults or a family with reasonable mileage. Now comparison of Xli with City as both fall in same price and engine capacity. Honda City has very good comfortable ride with low engine noise. It has better fuel efficiency and can give you 11 plus km/ltr easily. Its only draw back is its acceleration which is normal and not as good as corolla. As city wants its car to be more fuel efficient rather than use for car racing. In Thailand you can change the car's rpm and throttle by using the laptop with an experience after market engineer. The city seems to be smaller from back. Its resale is very bad and its Rs. 100,000 down already if you try to resale it even after few months.The price difference is only Rs. 39,000. And even now dealers offering Rs. 35,000 discount on it. its interior is black which majority people dont like it . The indian and thailand version with V class is the beige interior. The toyota corolla is now having much more improved quality and now giving the city a tough time which is known for quality and comfort.

"If you don't have any worries, buy Mehran" is 100% true for this car. This car, no doubt, have been the most successful one in the Pakistani market, and the reason behind this is not the superb quality but the cheaper price which fools nearly everyone. I have had this car for a while now and i am not happy with its performance. having not many points but still i would to elicit some Pros and Cons of this car.
<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>:
1. Cheaper, infect the cheapest 0.8L car in the world.
2. Low maintenance cost.
3. Good fuel economy in city so it is quite affordable.
4. Spare parts are cheap and easily available.
<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>
1. Very low quality body
2. low quality paint
3. very hard suspension, causes back ache,
4. headache and makes your car rattle.
5.very noisy engine
6. lousy brakes but this problem can be overridden by the selection of 165/70/R12 tires.
7. car runs OK till 30K KM, after that it becomes a nightmare to drive.
8. Parts are not reliable and wear out quicker than you think.

I recommend not to buy this car unless you are low on budget.

i have driven alto for three years now and it seems to be as good as new even though it has been driven for 32000km. i personally believe that alto is the best car among the other cars that paksuzuki produces, in terms of reliability, stability, low cost of maintenance, fuel economy and at last but not the least comfort for its price tag.

only one minor concern that i would like to share is the somewhat noisy passenger cabin. i dont know whether it is because the low profile soundproofing arrangement or because of its engine's extra noise.

man its amazing for its fuel economy it gives me regularly 22 - 23 km/kg of cng on highway. sometime it exceeds even this, as when i last went to karachi from multan it gave me an amazing millage of 25 km/kg of cng.

currently i am planning to replace it with honda civic but guys truly when i think about this i become sad with this thought that i am not gonna have an alto anymore.

Alto really rocks...........

The corolla is a very successful car.Other than its resale,Its is very reliable.It has a comfortable ride,and the drive is very smooth.The car has comfortable seats as well unlike other cars such as Suzuki Margala.it is powerful and can surpass a lot of kilometers and also rough highways such as the Karakorum highway.
Even though the car is reliable and powerful, it has negative things about it too.The car's maintenance is expensive and the car is also expensive.It eats fuel and needs a lot of fuel up to 42 liters(for the diesel one).
Overall, this car is really worth buying for its money value and is recommended to buy for everyone.
