If that is ur budget, dude I would seriously suggest a beautiful 97 Civic, convert it into CNG & be happy. If u live in pakistan, u shud know about this. If ur an overseas pakistani, looking for resale, then buy a corolla, it always slaps back with love. Make sure its CNG, dont be cruel to urself, protect our depleting enviornment. Every single effort counts.

These are normal cars roshnie. There is a conversion kit fitted into these cars, known as CNG kits. CNG stands for compressed natural gas, as rightly mentioned by DS.
It costs 50K rupess in pakistan to convert any car. Im talking of a brand new kit, which is made in Italy, not a local desi kit, which doesnt last long, & makes da car stink like a cab.
thanks Mal1k,
ya i am in Australia and have no idea what a re prices back home now a days. No looking for resale. and build quality of the civic is much better than corollas. Will look into buying one.
I really dont like CNG's :( adds another 50_100kgs weight to the car, kills the boot space, with 0kw performance increase but good economy though).

cng are safe.. most of the cars in Pakistan are being converted to cng as its cheap and we have ample supplies of gas.. and one can find cng pump stations springing up everywhere and its a very lucrative business these days.. cng helps Pakistan to spend less on expensive gasoline .. cng cylinders are standardized and mostly imported from Italy.. they are really quality controlled.. for example if a kit for small car costs Rs 21,000 .. (cost of cylinder alone is 18,000 and price of kit 3000..) There were few mishaps at cng gas stations in early days but now stringent rules of safety are applied.. i havent heard of any car blewing up after an accident..
