We wanted to buy a 2nd car, comparing Alto, & Coure, we opted for ALTO. Being a Suzuki, to me it meant cheaper maintanance & reliability.

However we got our 1st surprise when we noted that car started to shake (Up & Down) as soon we crossed 60kms. We took it to 3s dealership, the foreman took it for drive and told us its bad tyres, we took it to General Tyres they said its suspension. After some to & fro visits I took the car to nilagumbat and got new Yokohama tyres, problem resolved.

At 7000plus kms I was driving down the main boulevard when I noted lot of smoke from the car, it was so bad that oil started dripping from tail pipe by the time I reached home. Took it to 3s, was told that this is generic problem with ALTO as valve start sticking forcing oil in cylinders. The problem was sorted out but the performance is not the same ever since. The engine has lost its zip, its not smooth anymore.

After a year the car started over heating, and you could hear water boiling and steam coming out of the plastic bottle. Got the radiator cleaned but the problem continued. The pressure would bust heater pipes. A friend suggested to get the fan direct, which has lessened the problem but still water over flows.

This summer the air conditioner stopped cooling, in fact it would start ok, but after few minutes the air would slow down, water would drip on carpet, it seemed something was blocking the condensor. 3s checked and told us its working ok, I was not satisfied and took it to a small shop, after listning to my complaint he opened the lower part of the condensor and found that the sponge sheet attached to the fresh air flap had come off and blocking the condensor.

BAD; The car has just been driven 23000kms in 2 years, you can hear noises, steering rattles, engine is very noisy, heavy on petrol. Body is very weak, bonet is dented while closing it.

GOOD; Resale, Ride is very smooth, seats are supportive.

I own a 2005 Coure & it is my first sub compact car. When I was looking for a car in this range many of my friends advised me to by a Mehran instead of Coure but Thanks to Allah Almighty I didn't!
If compare it to Mehran( well I feel there is no Compare) there are certain points to considerwhich are as under
1- Coure's exterior is round cornered which looks more smart & aerodynamic than the box like exterior of Mehran.
2- Coure's exterior paint job is far more better than Mehran cuz I peronally see paint drip lines on brand new Mehrans but no such issue for Coure.
3- Chasis wise Coure is more strong as it has a rectunglar Chasis while Mehran has straight Chasis u could see many mehran's front wheels somewhat bending out of the Wheel houe as they were under some heavy weight , this is due to weak chasis.
4-Coure's interior is more comfortable & good looking while Mehran has inferior quality interior.
5- Coure's A/c is more powerful than Mehran's.
6- Under the hood coure 50 more CCs than Mehran thats why it has good pick & climbing power as compare to Mehran, moreover its engine is more responsive even on CNG.
If u consider the price than I mus t say that the Coure is getting overly priced & the Toyota Company never give any good reason for that, but I still love to have Coure its really fun to drive specially in crowded cities like ours,its also OK on long drives though not very comfortable as they r not designed for long drives. In short abest car for small family with young kids & city drive.

I purchased this car some 2 months back after comparing specifications of Cuore, Alto and Cultus. I was looking for some small size car ... obviously because of garage parking issue :).

Was a little conscious because Chevorlet didn't allow test drive --- hence no verification on their claims. But was confident because of its foreign assembling and after reading a bit on Internet.

This turned out to be a joy ride over last 2 months. I am totally satisfied with luxurious feel of the car. The details, finishing is good ... no loose ends.

Interior is well designed, best usage of space you will find places to keep you wallet, mobile, coffee cup, water bottle, loose papers, tissue box and all in reach of hand.

Comfort while driving is great for this size car. Spacious in front -- real comfortable.

Back seats are relaxing with ample leg space. Drive from Lahore to Peshawar on motorway was not tiring.

A/C is perfect for 800cc car, even better than 1000cc (comparing to Cultus).

Its MTect-II 800cc engine by no means an 800cc engine, you can easily compare the performance with a 1000cc engine.

Exteror, body shape/strength all are good for this scale car.

Fuel consumption is approx 12km/litre in city and 15km/liter on motorway. The claim was 18km/litre. So it failed here. But still worth it. At 140km/h it is stable drive. The pick and speed is not that much effected by running A/C.

Above all it is with 2 yrs warranty or 50,000km which ever comes first. The knob to adjust fan speed had few problems after 1 month or purchase ... it was a connection solding issue, which i got fixed from a 3S dealer in no time. Staff was trained.

Do not go for Chevorlet Joy --- Spark is much better than that.

I will say best value for money, I am happy to pay Rs. 40,000 extra for this comparing to Cuore. I am a satisfied driver of Spark --- Alhamdu Lillah.
