Charade and mehran comparision

hi,

i would like to know the variation between the 86 charade and a 92-95 model mehran.

lets consider them both to be in good condition with no modification and running on petrol from day one.Now the question is which would give a better milage and what would be the optimum fuel average with and without ac.

2ndly what would be the difference in maintainence and replace ment on parts like:

suspension
denting and painting
interior

please use approximations and averages .

finally which would prove to be a more cost effective and daily run work horse used mainly by the driver to pick the kids from school and run errands for the elders

i will really appreciate anybody taking time out and answering these questions in full details

^^In terms of features and quality Charade is several times better than even a 2010 Suzuki Mehran. I would say even the 1960s beetle has more features than 2010 Mehran.

1. It is almost impossible to find either Charade 86 or Mehran 92 in good condition. Even if they were properly maintained, in such a long time they have worn out and will require repair work every now and then.

2. Maintenance of Mehran is cheaper.

3. Safety wise Mehran is not good. Right now its the worst car in the market in terms of safety. If you plan to buy a Mehran, drive it extra carefully.

4. Mehran is good on CNG, but on Petrol its okay but not good for a 800cc car because it uses 1980s old carburetor engine. (Efi engines are much more efficient on petrol)

**search the forums you will find more details about both cars.
