Final Thought

If you have budget constraints yet want reliability, strong value, and a lower cost of ownership, the Honda City emerges as one of the most balanced choices in today's Pakistani market.

In contrast, people who are willing to spend a bit more prioritize long-term resale, comfort, and brand heritage. The Toyota Corolla is a perfect choice.

If you have the budget and want premium features and size, the Hyundai Sonata offers a compelling option, though at a significantly higher cost and with a few trade-offs.

Make the ultimate decision after considering your typical usage, budget, purchase costs, and maintenance expenses.
