can somebody tell me why these corolla's are getting worse every time a new model comes. Reduced quality in terms of interior, tyres, poor road grip, high fuel consumption, bad rubber quality, majority parts manufactured in Gujranwala/Karachi.
Plus check out the price. My god you can get a limo in this price. ;(
They should learn from Honda. You can check out the details of any Honda vehicle and see the difference.

its v.good car.. i owned it few days before.. if u look at Honda City new model its not as much good as Toyota`s new model..
As city`s price is also very high. if u want to buy a manual transmission in new model of honda city so u had to pay 14.5 lakh rupee and if u want to buy automatic transmission so it costs 15.5 lakh rupees (oh my God)
While
Toyota Xli costs just 12,89000..
so its best !!!

Just to correct that,

Honda City prices are
Ex-Factory Price (Pak Rs.)

Manual Transmission 1,309,000.00
Automatic Transmission 1,429,000.00


While the
Toyota Corolla Xli price is
1.3L XLI 1,299,000

But then again, city provides you more features like airbags, abs braking etc... which toyota don't provide at XLI level

But dude there is a big difference between rates of spare parts of TOYOTA and HONDA.... Honda gives a spare parts at a high rates as compared to Toyota.... That's why Toyota Cars are lil more expensive than Honda...

what impressive abt this car its is just re modeling of older version and nothing more then that. Corolla is only cash their after sales and ruler area support in Pakistan.

guys...I have read all your comments. Both Honda and Toyota offer little different feartures. I wonder if there were same features in both vehicles then how would differntiattion was done. This is why products are sold on the basis of value propsition they offer. For me there is a more value in buying corolla than city, but at the same time it may not be the case with others!

I find toyata more solid, reliable, and a good buying!

Why is it that toyotas never put in air bag, go to saudi arabia/ middle east, not a single car you will find without them, they are a must. Where the f...in hell is quality/safety department? why do they allow even cars without Air Bag or Disc Brakes with ABS.

Guys....
I thing city is best than XLI.I have XLI and its brakes are totally failed and car slips even when you are going on 60km/h.
and XLI is expensive than city
New Corolla XLI 1289000
New Corolla GLI 1395000
New City 1200000
and city has all those features like ABS,power windows as given in GLI but i thing if you buy XLI i thing city city is better than XLI because of ABS

Guys...
City is better than XLI because of brakes.I am using new XLI but its brakes are very poor and car slips even you are going on 60km/h when you apply brakes.If you want to buy XLI i thing GLI and new City is best.But GLI is too much expensive and city is cheaper than XLI with ABS,power windows and so on.New XLI have very poor brakes if you want to buy new XLI buy New GLI or City

I own an XLi and often drive with my family of 05 adult members. No fear at all, i had applied sudden braking even at 90 kph. No problems. The car stops within 30m (as specified by Toyota). However, you have to be little careful about tyres. Kindly replace them after 3/4 usage. Dont wait later than that. City is also a very nice car. But Toyota rules due its superior suspension quality and high re-sale.

I think cultus vxl is the best car available at reasonable price and features compatible for Pakistani Roads.

my father owns a toyota xli 2010 .its totally failed car .the brakes are horrible and the car slips even if the brakes are applied at a nominal speed.i suggest toyota to take care of its costomers and equip all of its models with air bag safety.and also cut down its sky touching prices

Tabreize Khan said...

Come on Toyota! Is THIS what we Pakistanis deserve for being so faithful to Toyota for decades and decades?? Its a shame the price you ask for a basic vehicle (XLi).. almost 1.3 Million and you dont give even us ABS, Airbag or even Powered Windows?!! Very poor! You see, even if money is everything for you guys, i guarantee you, you guys would be the ultimate losers if u keep this wrong attitude with your consumers! Worst Part: And whenever the govt tries to allow other competitors in the Pakistani market who can give better for less money, you two (toyota, suzuki) begin to cry and start to blackmail Pakistan. Not good; not good at all!!
