In Pakistan fuel prices matters a lot. I observed a lot of people have converted their new cars Honda city as well as Corolla to CNG. One of my relative is using Corolla for the last 4 years on CNG and is happy with the performance. One of my friend has just older model of City and due to its fuel economy (17 km per L) on motorway, he seems to be more satisfied and never thought to have the conversion. I have brand new Corolla GLI and my observation is that it is giving 12 km / L. If so City is fuel economy car. Every one knew that drive comfort on Petrol is better as compared to CNG. If per km cost is not too far, then every one will prefer to use petrol instead of CNG due to CNG other disadvantages like you need to refill about three time while travelling to Islamabad. Ever stop counts at least 10 minutes. so you are wasting 30 minutes just on this account. Times matters and some people say time is money. Moreover, its weight and reduction of luggage compartment. Concluding my statement; •What is the average of Toyota GLI (km / litter), at one site i studied it is 4.5 litters per 100km, is it true? •What is the average of new City 1.3 (km / litter), is it same as the older one. •Both the cars have 1.3 L engines, so more or less the average should be the same expect the weight and volume factor. •Is it worthwhile to have the CNG conversion, the manufacturers of both the cars do not recommend it? •I would be obliged for expert’s opinion.

One thing is for sure, Honda engines are somehow underpowered. I am talking about horsepower, I am talking about the 'feel' of the engine. I agree with pretty much all points made by <a href="http://www.caradvice.pk/toyota-corolla-2009/comment-page-1/#comment-367" rel="nofollow">Shahid</a>. I am not a big fan of Corolla but for all practical purposes, the Corolla is better than the City. Why? Well, that is material for a soon-to-come post as well, inshAllah.

I own 2004 city and now planning to buy a new car probably GLI though I dont like it much but still not having much of choice as new city has poor acceleration and interior while sitting in new city I felt I am sitting in a Chinese toy store. City is deliberately made ugly at least to to my observation this is done asthe pricing policy of Honda company whereas Toyota takes the credit of offering the same shape in 1300 and 1800. I decided to buy toyota GLI as cant afford to buy Civic which is overpriced which is known as price rationing keeping middle class away from it and maintaining the class of car which to certain extent is justified. Civic beyond any doubt represents a class which only camry can compete. I went through the whole thread and found out nothing that would help in deciding the kinda vehicle one should buy.
