Final Words: i thing this is expensive car but best avail in this price range in Pakistan. always buy a new one and you will be free of worries. i personally have a very good experience of this car. just driven 1000 km up till now but i am quite satisfactory. abs works fine as well. best choice if you compare it with city.built quality is good. i personally feel it is better to buy a new gli then to buy imported cars as your inner side will not be satisfy with that.best value for money.

I bought Gli in white color on 1st june. got registered in Islamabad. Run completely on Petrol as no CNG installed.
Interior is more roomy as compared to similar cars like City. Dash board and trim is good but not stylish as in City. Plenty of space in front and back seats. in backside floor is more straight with slight curve so gives more space to rear passengers as compared to previous generation corolla.
Huge trunk space
Music system is average but has 4 speakers and has USB support. Front speakers are mounted on door (6.5 inch) and rear speaker are in the back (6*9 sized). The quality of speakers is main cause of average sound from sound system and can be easily improved by changing speakers and adding an amplifier etc. After market DVD players with navigation system are easily available which blend with dashboard and connect pin to pin with no alterations. but they lack premium sound quality.
CNG can be installed but no recommended by most people and gives very good milage on CNG but i have no personal experience.
On petrol pickup is good but not better than similar 1300cc cars. Average milage in average driver is 12-14(in city) and 14-16 (highways) but light foot can increase it to 2-5km/l.
Pick up and power wise this car is inferior in its league.
On outside has good headlights with separate bulbs for low and high beams (great use at night). it has built in indicators in side mirrors which are body colored. tail lights are also good but not stylish.
As compared to older model of corolla, it has a body which is large in width which creates mainly problems for average and even good drivers as it is subject to greater impacts and dents .

well this is my first review. After driving City and Corolla (both 2009), I have found both a good choice both have some good/bad things.

Corolla: Comfort
Suspension
Stylish
nice and big interior
under powered if u'r a aggressive driver or a teenager
Fuel economy is average

City: fun to drive
pIcK up is greatt ;)
CheAp black interior
Fuel economy is excellent
not at all comfortable

and yes if u wish to use CNG, then go for City 09, runs perfectly fine on CNG

8th generation civic is better than new Corolla and city. there r several reasons for it which are;

1. Corolla and City 2008-20012 is very light car having very less road grip. u won't enjoy it after having civic. plus city and Corolla 2009-2012 has no anti-theft (immobilizer) system in it where as civic has. U will be care free after buying civic. i am suggesting u coz recently i have seen 3 cases of steeling brand new Corollas and city. even Swift or Liana is better then city and corolla in security system.

2. There is not much difference of economy between city and civic. i.e Corolla and city gives 14 to 15 km/liter in city, where as civic manual transmission gives 11-12km/liter in city. so there is not much difference in economy if u compare the class of cars.
