Pinakamaganda dyan TS eh check the vehicle physically, test drive it and check san casa last pina-service para may history kahit papaano.

Guys quick question lang.. should I also consider Mitsubishi Pizza as an option?
Saw a friend's Mitsubishi Pizza and a bit impressed by its look.

TIA

If possible, don't. You never know if or when those notorious suspension gremlins known to occur in pizza Lancers would catch up with you. I admit, the last pizza Lancer facelift really does look nice. The higher trims have all of those modern equipment too. Dual airbags, 4 wheel disc brakes with ABS, INVECS II tranny with manual shift override, etc... In fact an uncle of mine owns a 2002 pizza Lancer. Yung base 1.5L carb variant nga lang. Haven't heard of any suspension related problems with him so far. I wonder if it was corrected in the later MMCs? Better check with other owners in the Mitsubishi threads to be sure.

Been on this same situation last 3 years ago with almost the same cars. A Civic VTI 2001 and a Vios E 2003 but both of them are M/T. I suggest that you test drive both cars and then you decide. Also the suggestion to take a chit chat with the owner will also help, beacuse you will know which car properly maintain. I got the Civic instead not because it have a much lower mileage than the VIOS but it was properly maintain compared to the Vios which was basically a company car and the transmission was already been replace several times.

I'm sure it's because of the driving style of the user, clutch can easily wear out if improper shifting and worse if due to clutch driving conditions.

Onga naman. Buong transmission? Tibay ng manual transmission ah, even with just one replacement in its less than ten year lifespan is a lot already. Sure ka buong transmission at hindi clutch lang? Hehe~
