2005 - 2007 Mitsubishi Lancer: Is it a good buy for 300k - 350k budget?

Hi guys, any inputs for this model and make? I find it very appealing. I'm looking for a M/T variant and I'm really confused with the GLX, GLXi, GLS variants. Is the GLX version still running on a carb engine?

Really need your inputs, thanks!

The 2005-2007 Lancer has adequate room, ok performance with the manual, pero downside is malakas sa gas ito.

Be reminded that the facelifted model (late 2004) ditched the carb engine - at nawala ang 1.5L engine.

2004 Lancer - check this link from web archive about the variants of the 2005-2007 Lancer.

There is no GLXi variant after year 1999.

Thank you for the link! Now I know GLX is the only manual variant for this gen of the Lancer.

Is it a gas guzzler even tho it's manual? What's the achilles' heel of this model? Still underchassis issues?

I suggest to use the search box tas type mo "Lancer cedia fuel economy" or "Lancer cedia problems"

Happy buying!

For a 350k budget, there are lots of more exciting options you can have instead of the comparatively mundane Cedia Lancer. Performance and gas mileage are just so-so. Nothing to complain about but nothing spectacular either.

For your budget I'd suggest you look at more exciting cars like perhaps a Lynx Ghia M/T or RS or perhaps the ES Civic.

I was really considering the Civic ES, but I noticed that I can only get a 2003 - 2004 ES compared to a 2006 - 2007 Cedia. So I thought that it would be more practical to buy a newer ride with the same budget right?

For its price and model, ok naman yan. Wag mo lang icocompare ang FC mo with lower displacement cars (like VIOS and CITY) kasi maiinis ka lang. For it's 1.6 subcompact counterpart, nakakasabay naman siya (both performance and FC). Magtatatlong taon na yung sa akin (2009 GLX) pero wala naman akong kalampag na nararamdaman.

like what the others said the price and the year model is a good buy.

Sir what's your fuel consumption with your GLX? I'm used to getting 10-11km/liter on my 1.6L ESi.
