economical? well u can buy a toyota yaris or corolla. it is so economical but i would not take that decision.u have a family and some people here drive like crazy in their suvs'!even if u r single.. it is still not secure. i had to drive a small sporty car and one landcruiser crashed me! i spend months to heal my injuries! if u want my advice, get urself a landcruiser. the petrol is cheap here. so it doesnt matter and u r safe.u can use it for daily work, for deser safari...maintenance free(almost) no headach. great AC.. nice car! we have 2 now at home. sellin one soon and keep the new.

Thanks MD. KIA is the best. If the Brits are going for it, it has to be special.

Low cost Economical Car:

1. Suzuki Alto. QR 30,000

2. Nissan Sunny. QR 45,000

3. Honda CRV. QR 90,000

(Note you can have 3 Altos or 2 Nissan Sunny for the price of one CRV!!!).

Used car market has gone up a little. Better is to buy new. you will not have any major problems till 10 yrs minimum.

Go for Kolean..

A KIA will always turn heads and give you good mileage for your litre of petrol..

Since your topic is about economical car ask for the BMW 320i Saloon at BMW Showroom, I am sure it matches your requirements.

I agree with Hasan Shaikh, never go for American car in this country. Try Japanese and if you can spend more, for sure that the German Brand "BMW" and recently they have the free insurance and other offers of maintenance.

Do not buy an Ammerican car. They lack craftsmanship and quality. Go for a Japanese or, if you can spend more, a European car.
