Hi everyone, I’m a 20-year-old and I run a freelance business, earning a stable six-figure income. Currently, I don’t have any major financial responsibilities or dependencies, and I’m planning to buy my first personal car. I already know how to drive an automatic not a perfect driver I want to make a smart and informed decision. Right now, I’m considering buying a Honda Civic Reborn, with a budget of around 2.3 million PKR. However, I’m getting very mixed opinions from people around me. Many are saying that it’s not a good choice because: It has high fuel consumption (people call it a “petrol ka kuwa”) Maintenance is expensive It can become a headache if not maintained properly Even my father is advising me not to go for this car saying petrol prices dekho maintenance expensive ha and advising me to buy an alto But personally, I really like the Reborn. So before making a final decision, I’d really like honest advice from people who have owned or experienced this car: My questions: Is the Reborn a good choice for a first car in my situation? What is a realistic budget to get a clean, well-maintained unit in Karachi? What are the common problems or known faults in this model? Is the fuel average really that bad in real-world usage? How expensive is maintenance compared to other cars in this range? What things should I carefully inspect before buying (engine, suspension, gearbox, etc.)? Any tips to avoid getting a problematic or abused car? I would really appreciate your honest feedback, especially from owners. Also, if you have any practical tips or buying advice specifically for the Reborn, please do share. Thanks in advance!
