Suzuki’s APV: What good is this All Purpose Vehicle?
Suzuki has about 3 years ago started importing APV to supplement (or perhaps replace) its ailing BOLAN Van. The APV however is now being used to give direct competition to Mitsubishi’s L300 & Toyota’s Hiace Commuter Vans as well as being advertised for your ‘entire’ (read joint) family needs. Lets see what the APV is [...]
Vitz & Platz: Are they any good on Pakistani roads?
Toyota developed Vitz (aka Yaris) & Platz (aka Echo) initially for sale/use in European & Japanese markets. However, just because they are cheaper (to buy) many of my local brethren have fallen ‘prey’ to dubious dealers selling Vitz & Platz (mostly re-conditioned ones) as Japanese assembled “A-Category” automobiles.
During the course of my research I came across an [...]
Suzuki Liana ke na liana?
Lets face it with price of the lowest tier 1.3L RXI MT starting at Rs.0.952million with the top of the line 1.6L EMINENT AT going for Rs.1.086million Liana is ”poor man’s sedan”. But is this just our ATTITUDE?
Although most of us grew up or around Suzuki manufactured vehicles but ever since other Japanese carmakers (Honda, Toyota & [...]
Head On: Camry vs Accord
Eversince Honda introduced Accord & Toyota launched Camry as their up-market luxury sedan models there has been tough head-on competition between the two.
Although the sales figures suggest that Accord has been outselling Camry looking at their specs the reason isn’t clear. Both have identical 70-litre fuel tanks, near-identical engine displacements (Accord:2354cc & Camry:2362cc) and similar Torque Ratios: [...]
Family cars sorted by power
How each car compares, what are their top speeds, their engine capacity and the all-important acceleration. Accord rules (only slightly) on the top 2.4 litre range, whereas Coure (of all the cars) rules comfortably over the 0.8 litre cars.
Toyota Land Cruiser Prado
Got the pictures and the owner has agreed to give a detailed review of Land Cruiser Prado. As the review is on the way, I would like to share a nice little feature that is found in this 4×4: The camera that gives a detailed view of the surroundings at the back of the Prado.
When you put [...]
Happy planet, happy people
Cars (and vehicles in general) are rightly considered to be one of the biggest constributors to global warming and a general decline in the environment. The fuel that they burn leaves gases that harm the planet (including us!).
The above is a fact that no sane person can deny*. Hence the build up of interest in greener [...]
Toyota Vitz Review
Here in Pakistan, one of the best things about importing cars seems to be not the red ferarri you sometimes see on the streets of Lahore, but the car for the people, Toyota Vitz!
Now, this is a great car. I have talked to at leas three owners of this sharply round car and all three did [...]
CNG
When it comes to cars, CNG 
stands for Compressed Natural Gas.
CNG could also mean saving worth thousands of rupees per month. It can also mean that you have something to show for after watching An Inconvenient Truth :). Although not many (hardly any!) people here in Pakistan are concerned about their carbon foot print, there [...]
