"Now what I see about Liana that is bad is its poor quality material, A few days ago, I saw a Liana crashed into a Mehran Alto; the Alto was the least damaged, and the Liana was just destroyed and was like garbage."
According to a US crash test (eq. EU NCAP) the Liana 2003 is better rated than the 2003 Toyota Corolla. So what you saw in the accident was just how the cars body is made to withstand the force of hitting a object: It doesn't! Instead its break up in pices so that the passengers don't get hit so hard.
Maybe X got a bad one. Pak Suzuki would do well to check their cars carefully before marketing them. We also had some scraping noises and steering problems with a new Mehran some years ago. With the Liana we had some minor trouble with an oil seal in the beginning, but since then it has run without incident for over a year. However, among Pakistani cars I think Honda takes top position on all counts, especially the Civic. The new one is a humdinger, but awfully expensive.
As an aero-mechanical Engineer I'll appreciate the design of Liana 2007 Pakistan, but deny the base of its fabrication. The average of special welded spots of frame, body and suspension area are at minimal level whereas Xli and City get more and press and spot weld i.e more safe for future. Consequently it will no longer bear the road atmosphere like Pakistan. Jolts will result sounds and damage to parts.

Got city 2006 and so far driven 35000km. feels nice to sit in and go on long drive, but its not good enough during it initial pick up especially while driving on cng. liana I think has got advantage over city in this regard as it comes with company fitted cng which surely gives decent initial pick up even on cng. additionally liana has got more features I mean decorations inside the cabin as compared to very basic ones of city. there is one problem which I definitely feel with liana that its overall outer look is not comparable with that of city. I think company should look into it and would be appreciated if they lower it down a bit as well. xli is not of my type. thanx.
I am just buying liana, I have read all these comments, but in my view if you can drive your car carefully and keep its maintainene at proper time don't have rough driving Liana is a good option in low money with much luxury, anyway its not maintaing honda standard, but I think corrolla standard in Pakistan is also doubtful so no difference in corolla and suzuki.

I purchased a Liana three months back, it's a nice car I am quite satisfy, but the problem came when I drove it in rain, the rear foot place filled with water, just because of very minor ignorance, the two rubber washer were not fitted.
Now the whole carpet is destroyed and having a bad smell, although I have a new car.
So please take care of these small, but very important points.

Well I have reviewed some of the comments made, all I can say is that Suzuki employees have a lot of spare time by replying to a negative review! to prove my point the car had to be bundled with Mehran in dec 07 by Suzuki motors to ensure that dealer keep selling it, as a result a Brand New Liana was being sold for Rs 6,70,000... if you don't believe it go to pakwheels forum and you will find some of those guys who bough a brand new car for this amount, including my self!
Well as far as the value is concerned, the car I will say is not worth more than 6 Lakhs, and I regret I paid that much cause I am giving advertisement in the news and no one wants to buy a car for more that 5 lakhs! anyways the car is good, but spares will be an issue in the longer run as this car has not sold many units and therefore backup sales will not be that good.
So before this mail recieves a million replies from eager Suzuki employees I request them to reduce the price of Liana so it reflects the exact value.
