سوزوکی گاڑیوں پر تبصرے

I've been driving/travelling in an APV for almost 4 years now. (in fact i learned driving using this vehicle! )

Firstly lets get to the basics, the Price. Currently its a bit overpriced. Though i would still go for it as a family 7-seater over any jeep/vehicle in this price range.

Comfort: To be honest for an imported vehicle its not the most comfortable car. Though i have seen worse, much better than many Pakistani cars/vans. (and it has LOTS of SPACE! ) that's all that matters, i guess..

Consumption: On CNG its fairly cheap. Specially on long drives. On petrol its a bit expensive cause of the extra power due to the weight. But i'd prefer driving it on petrol all the time as its totally at a different comfort level on petrol! (though i don't pay for either, so i guess my opinion doesn't matter. My dad pays and he says its good on CNG :P )

Now to the other things that matter,

Power: it has lots of power! the 1.5L engine is just about the right size for this vehicle.

Safety: Here is where the APV looses most of its points. It has NO ABS! That really is the worst part. NO AIRBAGS! The tires, play an important role in keeping the car stable. if you change them to bigger ones, you might increase the comfort but decrease the stability! its fairly stable, as a teenager like me hasn't killed himself yet, using the vehicle. So its stable till that extent. Though after a few years it will be very risky to drive it over 120 km/h on the Motorway or anywhere for that matter, as it wobbles, and feels very unsafe.

Practicality: It is the best car in this section. It has LOTS of space for ANY type of luggage.. Though the CNG cylinder does take a bit of space in the back, there is still room to put two big bags behind the rear seats. You can easily fit 10 people in it. Though the people at the back will be a bit squeezed. Add one of those roofs to it and your luggage problem for these ten people is solved. (if each person has a bag )

Overall, it is one of the best Cars/Vans i've seen in Pakistan. And in this price range any other vehicle of it's type can not compete with it.

Though if you can manage the cost of fuel, i'd suggest getting a Prado or Pajero.. As they are more fun to drive and has way more power plus comfort. Only problem would be they'd be old and the APV would be brand new.

Sir, in that case and according PAMA Suzuki Mehran has a sale of 14,134 units and while Dahatsu cuore sold only 1728 units. So according to your equation what mehran would be a better car then cuore wouldn't it be? You don't compare cars from their selling ratio. You compare them from their performance, value for money and services given in them. Now why toyota has more sales. Look first of all I don't think that anybody rational would say that Liana is better than corrolla that's a fact whether anybody admits it or not. And selling of more units is because of having the great reselling price and most of all the durability this car is offering, no other car even honda is giving it to its users. Great shocks with good life of engine even in rural areas. That's why its competing. If you look for value of money, meaning the price you are paying for the services you are getting, Sir you have to admit that Liana will get more rating. 1.2 M and it gives you everything that 1.4 M Xli doesn't give and 1.55 M Gli do gives you with an additinal abs, Thats it.

i bought this car zero meter in December 2007. since then i have not any major problem with this car. XLI and GLI are still crap infront of my liana .. because it's powerful doch engine which is 300cc more powerful then these craps corolla , which are quite expensive.

am using it on cng .. pple are asking of missing and other problems with cng . Trust me am using it with cng for four years. not a singal porblum i face and also there is not atall any lack of pick up .
I sort out that pple are facing problems with cng are only who are using 1.3 . and 1.6 is discontinued ..
I feel lucky and proud for my right decision.

I purchased 0 meter liana in 2008 and have driven almost more then 100000 kms. Its a good car no doubt but it has many flaws. It do has a missing problem. You do have to press race on it before leaving the clutch meaning it needs proper combustion in its engine before you let the clutch go. its a car which gives you great pleasure while accelerating but stops your heart when it comes to brake. Suzuki should think about brakes even their abs system ain't very good, i don't have it but I do have reviews of many who have liana with abs. I was reading a review that missing problem on low gears in cng is pretty much high and he did alot to get out of it but nothing worked. I also experienced it, as I said it does that but there is a point it starts doing it in a very intolerable manner. The problem is with the coils. change them and you will find a huge difference in it. But original coils are very expensive. A set of those is more then Rs 20,000. A korean manufactured coils taken from a reliable source would be a better choice.

Bought new swift 3 months ago, i had driven my 3 hondas from 2000 to 2011, before that i was having a suzuki mehran 1997-2000, now i am back to suzuki, just because i compared its fuel consumption to my civic 92 d15b auto CNG, in city its petrol average is as same as my cng honda, and on long routs its 150%, for example i travelled sialkot to lahore on civic on cng in RS 600/- and on swift it consumes petrol of Rs 900/- i dont think its a big difference, only one thing, trunk matters, but i dont think after installing cng trunk remains "cabin" it seems like a "junkyard" one more thing, if you want your fuel average good, dont go for inspections on 1000km, 5000km and 10000km, just change oil on every 5000km, clean and change air filter regularly, check plugs by yourself, and if needed clean your pgm with carb cleaner yourself, dont go for suzuki 3s, they will spoil your fuel average on your 1st tunning,

I have been using alto now a days and had a mehran before i had very bad views of ALTO VXR i kind of hated this car but now after getting one i think i was wrong well to be honest if suzuki is charging this much for a car then they should have incluced some upgrades but thiis is Pakistan! so we dont have any rights
coming back to the ALTO i was very surprised by the torque of its engine.F10A came in suzuki SJ410 jeep aka potohar but n this car torque seems nicer then other cars u dont need to rev it up much just give it a gear and it will go,suspension are nice considerng the road conditions not too hard not too soft, recently driven santro and found that ride of santro is harder then alto on bumpy roads it better to be in alto then santro. ride height is nice i managed to clear up every thing like bricks or rocks.
A/C is awsome consdiering its a1000cc car newer models have sanden A/C so there is less load on the engine. the auto race system is ideal for cold start up. offcourse it lacks some features as other cars but stil if u consider living in Pakistan then this car will hold its market value and its built for our roads!
JVC KDG 335 with two 250W dash speakers are enough no need for other back speakers.
one thing i hate milage on petrol its just drinks too much petrol on CNG its fine
over all really nice car

Problems and its solution with liana:
actually it is a full loaded car controlled through electronic system., so misshandling by driving and lay man mechanics made it an empty box.
that is the reason it could not make its market in this society otherwise why it is continued its production since 6 years by the company locally and abroad.
although first owner never complained.
so 1st check its electronic system before buying.

i have liana 2008 lxi since 4months faced no problem drining on long and local and found strong in both plain and rough hilly roads with better pick, comfotable,consumption, luxurious options as cng automation.
yes on cng (1)it suffers from missing problem due faulty station cng where oil is injected to its sylinder and kit and needs to be serviced
(2)monthly tuning and good battery

Well i am not liana lover but here i would like to highlight the features of liana
as you all know liana is a fully electronic car in which sensors are controlling everything and suzuki is the only agency which can connect computer and figure out the problem which the car is facing. All mechanics are against this car because they are ignorant and dont know how to figure out the problem and if he does identify the problem does not know how to rectify.
when mechanics are devaluing this car, y to go to him for engine rectification?
just visit suzuki dealer and get ur job done you will have peace of mind.
i am driving this car since 6 months i have not found any major problem in my car
just consider value for money u r geting a drive of big car with trunk in lesser price.
thats true the car is bit less in aerodynamics but u have to trade off also for the lower price which you have paid.
dont listen to mechanic about this car

if you want to buy this car just check 2 things

1. injectors should not be faulty
2. car should not have the history of over heating
trust me except these 2 problems car is superb :)
