1998 Suzuki Mehran from Pakistan - Comments

The suzuki mehran manufactured in pakistan is not worth of buying at all considering the price tag it has.

The out body get rusted so soon and the windows just get loose and draw itself hanging into the door when it rains!

Performance is more like driving a motorcyle as it has not got any add ons like efi, ABS brake, etc.

The engine is too noisy and looses its performance in only days after complete servicing like complete brake system change and all ruber parts change. very soon it comes to its idle unworthy performance.

Better to buy daihatsu cuore considering the advantages and performance it has, like look and all, and suzuki alto's shape is the same they are using for the last 15 or more years!

The paint just started to wear off and loose its shine and one could see the underlying body.

Overall the car is not worth the money one pays for it.

I totally agree with you!!! this little car suzuki mehran is a junk and nothing more! the gear shift stick is so long and hard to change gears. it is a waste of money to buy them. for the price ppl pay for this little crap, they rather buy some japanese car, even a used japanese car is worth more than a brand new suzuki mehran.

Quality control has always been an issue in the Pakistani industry. We cannot compete with the rest of the world because we are corrupt. Its better to buy a donkey rather than buying car assembled in Pakistan. Shame on us all.

Mehran isn't as bad as people are making it look like. It's a pretty good car. I agree it isn't a very solid car, but in the budget that's the only car available. The stays well if you look after it properly. My car has done almost 30000 km and I haven't faced any problems like the ones other people have. The road grip doesn't remain a problem once you've changed the tyres and replaced them with wider tyres. Although nothing can be done for the driving position, but a little comfort can be obtained by installing bucket seats. The brakes don't work well, but that problem can also be solved by installing booster brakes. Buy making a little modifications, this car can be made better. A little appearance modification can get the car to look more appealing like alloys, spoilers, body extensions etc. Overall, the car is economical although I have a non-CNG one, but still its pretty economical. It consumes less parking space as it isn't very big.

I feel that Daihatsu Cuore is really quite better than Mehran... I bought a first hand Mehran couple of days back... but after couple of rides I found that...It is really a piece of junk and not even worth the 400,000 I paid for it. I think it is far better if you can get a Cuore, since it is not much more expensive than Mehran plus it provides, plus it offers much more for the money. It is up to you to decide...Why would you throw away money for something unworthy than you pay a little more and buy a highly efficient thing...
