Friends i recently decided to buy a new car i have a budget limit of max 11K So there are two cars which comes in my budget Suzuki Wagon R and Suzuki Cultus please suggest me which is better for me i live mostly in hyd and khi

Personaly i used most of time 4x4 in DXB i need comfort more than a shape of car wagon R i think is better but friend told me wagon R have no future buy cultus my mind before get into mixture kindly suggest a better option

I would suggest a used toyota corolla or honda civic. Suzuki is a very weak car, its body will start squeaking and rattling just after you will drive it outside the showroom. If you have no plan to drive it outside main cities then it can be a acceptable choice, but if it will be your full time car and you will take it to road other than motorway then say Inallilah to your suzuki car. The sound of cultus is unbearable and the shape of wagon R is too. I have owned all the cars which i have mentioned here, so i am advising you with experience. Just buy a used toyota corolla (comfortable on any type of road) or honda civic (if you mostly drive on good roads). The suspension of honda is very weak as you might already know but its drive is very sporty and enjoyable but you will often hear rattles from the dash board and doors. Toyota is the way to go with best suspension tuned for comfort and toyota does not squeak at all and has excellent resale value.

I have previously owned (mostly 2 cars at a time):
Toyota corolla 1998
Suzuki Baleno 2003
Toyota corolla altis 2004
suzuki cultus 2005
Honda city 2006
Honda civic 2008
Honda city 2010 (very hard suspension)
Toyota corolla 2010
Wagon R 2014 was purchased and sold after 2 weeks

Now i have:
Toyota prado 2002 turbo diesel
Toyota corolla 2015
Suzuki cultus 2011

After changing so many cars, i am a toyota fan now, permanently. So i will recommend you a used corolla.

Toyota parado 2002 how much does it cost? In mint condition? And maintenance?

I bought it for 2.7 million from islamabad in march this year. So far no maintenance cost other than oil change. Fuel consumption is 9 kmpl in the city and 12 kmpl on highway/motorway. And its very powerful since its turbo. But the ride is not very impressive bcz its an suv. on small pot holes the suspension feels jerky and on small dips on the road it feels like a boat. The best thing about the car is the commanding position and road presence. But i'm not too impressed so it will not remain in my ownership for more than a few months more. Landcruiser ride is more stable and surefooted than prado.

Thanks I was interested in Parado before your review, I have been visiting one of the famous sites but none of the vehicles impressed me, currently I am using Altis 2012, good car and after reading that it would be same experience while driving parado through pot holes and dips, I think I would stick to altis. :). How about mitsubishi?

Toyota Corolla or Nissan Sentra .Honda is weak .i hate Suzuki
I've had Toyotas & still have a Tourer which is bulletproof engine .
But i bought Nissan Sentra & is very impressive .
Now looking to buy a Truck either Toyota or Nissan

Thanks but balouch dear why u sold wagon R

Because my cosine was looking to buy a wagon r and i didn't like its "wagon" like ride, it rides like the early models of hyundai santro with high center of gravity and just felt like a moms car. So i sold it to my cosine and bought a used cultus and saved a few penny's for my prado. Wagon r is not a bad car comfort and space wise if you compare it to cultus but the looks are not so great.

Mitsubishi pajero? My father used to have mitsubishi pajero 1994 in patrol engine, and it was very very good car at that time, and now my uncle has 2002 pajero and its a good car too but it has horrendous resale value, when you buy it then you have to stick to it all your life;), and its maintenance cost is way too high because of bad layout of the mechanical parts in the hood. For repairing one thing the mechanic has to take out half of the things from the hood first, so it takes more time and in result more money. If you have 2 to 3 million then prado is the best choice.

Hmmmmm actually I hail from a mountainous area that's why I am interested in something on the lines of Parado, Pajero, surf or nissan safari etc. I had 2.0D toyota corolla it was fantastic while driving there on steep roads but I had to sell it because of it was a down model car and had registration number FDU. And interestingly I kept a 86 corolla too, spent some money on it to make it look dashy but it got stolen :D. And looks wise I don't know why but nothing appeals me more like an accord:man_in_love:.

You should 've put up few of your fav cars for voting.
used most of time 4x4 in DXB
If you're used to 4X4 then you'll never like a saloon car like Corolla or civic which are way too congested.
If your budget allows then you should opt for a RAV4. I suggest you this because Toyota cars are mostly maintence free for atleast first 5-6yrs- if it's brand new.
VW is another reliable brand which provides good service and is worth the money.
