Equipped with an 8-valve SOHC 1300cc G13 carbureted engine, it quickly became a popular choice for families and individuals seeking an affordable, reliable, and relatively spacious car for its time. While it may lack modern features like airbags or advanced safety systems, its simple mechanics ensured easy maintenance and readily available, inexpensive spare parts. Despite being discontinued in 1998, replaced by the Suzuki Baleno, the Margalla remains a common sight on Pakistani roads, a testament to its durability and long-standing appeal in the country’s used car market.
8. Honda Civic Dolphin Shape
The Honda Civic, particularly its fifth-generation model produced from 1991 to 1995 (often affectionately nicknamed the “Dolphin” in Pakistan due to its sleek, somewhat rounded profile), holds a legendary status in the country’s automotive landscape. This era of Civic marked a significant shift towards a more aerodynamic and modern design compared to its boxier predecessors, featuring a low-slung stance and distinctively curved lines.

Even decades later, these models remain highly sought after in the used car market, admired by enthusiasts for their tunability and by everyday drivers for their enduring build quality and readily available spare parts.
9. Suzuki Baleno

While lauded for its powerful engine, good road grip, and comfortable ride, it also faced some common issues, notably with ignition coils and susceptibility to rust due to thinner sheet metal, which sometimes gave mechanics trouble. Despite its discontinuation in favor of the Suzuki Liana, the Baleno remains a popular choice in the used car market for its robust chassis and surprisingly good performance, making it a viable option for those seeking a budget-friendly and reasonably fun-to-drive sedan.
