1.My Cousin Got A brand New Liana Just 1 week used.the car was scratchless but the owner wants money immediately so he asked my cousin for car & my cousin said for 750k but he refused & after roaming the whole city he came to my cousin again & asked for a resonable demand so my cousin said that if u make registration of the car then i will pay u 815k & then he bought the car.

2. In 815k a brand new car seems good beacause nowadays even cultus is 900k so its far better. The engine is very active & fast. The interior is very nice & its a good car overall.

3. The minus point is the resale & some engine problems & mechanics are also a problem to find.

My dad bought liana in 2006, it has currently done 75000 km and no fault yet. Comfort is great. Breaking is the best between non abs cars of the same category. Road grip to quite good comparing to corolla and city but less than Baleno. It gives us 14 km/L in city and 17-18 km/L in highway. Overall its an awsm car if taken care properly. People who had bad experiences with it tried to maintain it the way people maintain Corolla or Mehran. It has a DOHC MPFI Engine which requires extra care and yes Most of the people who say bad stuff about this car never drove it.

Well, I was abroad for few years before going abroad I had EXi Prosmatic. When I returned I was looking for Auto transmission so I purchased Eminent which was recomended by my cousin and car dealers. There is no doubt this car is superb. I kept through out on Petrol very nice, smooth and comfortable drive. Car is far better than Corolla Xli or GLi however one car compare with Vti or Altis but price tag is alot better than Vti or Altis. Runs very good but little heavy on Petrol (May be it is because I use O/D button too much). It is not as spacious as Civic or Corolla (for 4 person its fine) but when you sit in it you can feel luxury and solidness around with stylish interior. Engine sound is very quiet but when you thrust it's accleration one can feel roaring engine with speed which feels good.
If someone is asking for buying, I would 100% recomend Eminent.

Its been over 3 months now that I have owned this car and so far my experience with it is just remarkable.

I have given 5/5 to almost all of its ratings. This wasn't out of excitement. Actually I can explain that one by one.

Style:
The venom looks of the car and the sporty look make it look MUCH better than at least: Honda Civic, Old Shape city (duh!), Old Shape Corolla, Toyota Vitz and all cars manufactured and sold by Suzuki.

It looks almost equal, if not better than the new corolla.

So clearly there is no reason why we cannot give it a 5/5 for style.

Comfort: This is pretty much the same for all the new cars in this price range. In my personal experience, its more comfortable than its revival corolla (1.3L).

Performance:
It goes from zero to hundred in way under 10 seconds. And comes from 100 to zero ALSO in less than 10 seconds. With the only car that offers ABS in this price range, its much safer and gives the driver a peace of mind (that his car is equipped with ABS). The i-vtec is definitely a powerful engine. It went from 100 - 190 in just about 100 seconds.

Value for Money:
When I was buying this car, its price was around 1.25 Million. However, the only other option that I had was a Toyota Corolla. Corolla's price at that time was 1.29 million. This was the price of a car that DID NOT offer ABS or Power Windows (and was available in two colors only). The model that did offer these features was expensive by about 1.5 lack rupees.

Honda City produces 100 horse power, Corolla 1.3L on the other side (inspite of being expensive) produced 85 horse power (though Corolla eats more fuel, which is discussed below). This really is a good value for money because you get more than what you pay for.

Fuel Economy:
I have not had experience of Honda City or Toyota Corolla in CNG. However, my limited study of Corolla's average on highways in Petrol turned out to be a little over 16 Kilometers per liter. My very own Honda City gave me 22.8 Kilometers per liter on a trip from Islamabad to Peshawar. This fuel average included a distance traveled within the city (about 30 kilometers). The i-vtec is a very fuel efficient engine. It produces more power compared to a vvti and consume's less fuel.

One reason why some people preferred Toyota Corolla was spaciousness. That is also very apparent and not particle. The passenger capacity for both cars is 5. However, Honda City's trunk is the most spacious one among all the cars of Pakistan. Any one who sees both the trunks together can easily see the massive difference of space. Its very tangible. The reason is that Honda's Fuel tank is below the front seats and so the rear trunk becomes deeper than the trunks of other cars.

In every aspect, I find this car very good value for money, very fuel efficient and comfortable.

Definitely something you wouldn't regret.

While buying a small car i had three options i.e Mehran, Alto & Cuore. I was going to buy Mehran but my brother advised me to go for Cuore. I din't know about it except that it had better shape than Mehran and also more compact than Mehran. I learnt driving on Fx & Mehran. Mehran was better in driving than FX. But when i bought Cuore and drove it, Really i enjoyed it's drive. That's the point where Cuore beats Mehran and Alto. Despite being 847 cc, it performs like 1000 cc cars. Many times i've experienced racing with Altos and even Cultuses in the city and on motorways and many times i beat those 1000 cc cars.It's pick is awesome, probably best in 0.8 L category. It's performance is best on CNG as compared to other cars and there is a little difference in speed on both CNG and Petrol.
It's interior is nice as compared to mehran and i really love it's dashboard. It looks small from outside but when someone sits inside, it looks roomier. It's build quality is better than Mehran and Alto.
I would dare to say that it's more fuel efficient than Mehran. I've recorded it's average on motorway at constant speed of 90-100 km/hr both on CNG and Petrol. On CNG it's average is 33 km/kg and on petrol it gave me 22-23 km/litre. It's maintenance is not at all expensive. You wouldn't have the trouble to go to the mechanics very often. It's body is stronger than Mehran. More comfortable than mehran and performs much better than mehran.
Only Negative points are it's a bit overpriced, Parts are expensive and resale not as good as that of Mehran.

i own platz 1.3l automatic since 3 years bought through gift scheme self importation with only 1500km driven record...!

MY DEAR PW MEMBERS ITS MY PERSONNEL EXPIERIANCE OF THE CAR OWN BY ME SINCE LAST 3 YEARS....AND TRUST ME ITS AS IT IS .....
I LOVE PLATZ...!

well i had bought cuore ecomatic
and am quite satisfied with it it
as it gives a good fuel economy
better comfort than mehran and quite suitable with Pakistani environment and tiny little auto 3 speed gear box
yet it is a bit over priced and the shape has been the same for almost ten years but still worth buying for every day use. it have a very soft steering and comfy little interior only thing is that clicks why the hell it is not equipped with a rear screen defogger or power windows , side mirrors and stuff like that

but overall the car is worth driving!!

I am not Biased here this is a true practical experience my friend has got 2008 civic vti orieal and i have 2008 Altis cruisetronis honestly speeking keeping in view that good advise is a way of Sunnah anybody going above 1.7million to buy a car should opt for Altis cruisetronic there is a hell of difference between the civic and altis mind u i am not saying civic against 1.3ROLLA but 1.8 Altis Auto its more stylish with cruise contro,l triptronic gear,very comfortable,soft on shocks ,soft seats ,superior handling,more electronic especially when it tells u abt range against fuel etc etc and above all inexpensive after markets gadgets like dvd.reverse cam,airpress,decals,trunk spoilers& much more and above all more resale value only one draw back in Toyota is less leg space at back seats

I bought a 2001 model second-hand in 2007. It had been driven on petrol till then. Coure is by far the best of small local cars, i-e it is the best of mehran, alto (and quite possibly cultus) in drive experience, steering softness and spaciousness. Its steering is very soft for a non-power steering, and hence one can call coure semi-power-steering.

The 2001 model that i had
1- consumes a lot of petrol, in fact more than honda civic 1998. So I installed CNG, and on CNG itis fine.
2- Its front two tyres get suck with the wheel, so i always had to use hammer or a brick to get them out when punctured.

I don't know if coure fixed these issues in the latest reviews, perhaps someone from the PakWheels community let me know about this.
