Corolla VS Lancer

**jjmd3_787** · March 29th, 2009 01:33 AM

Good day mga bro!

I am planning to buy a 2nd hand car for my parents. Ang budget ko ay para lang sa year 1997-1999 models, 1300cc lang. Puntirya ko ay either Corolla (big body or lovelife) or Lancer (pizza pie). Can anyone help me choose between the 2? Pros and cons . . .Nissan at Honda lang kasi ang kabisado ko. Thanks!!!

Get the Corolla no questions asked. I used to be a pizza owner, the suspension sucks!

If you are choosing the Corolla... get the big body over the lovelife model because the lovelife is really cramp inside, especially the rear seats. The only good thing of the lovelife model is the handling.

ang lancer ay nag dominate lang yan nun 80's dahil sa lahat ng boxtype na JJ cars eto ang pinaka pogi nun time na yun pero pagdating pa rin sa patibayan at maintainance ang corolla pa rin ang pinakamatibay at madaling i maintain, syempre mura ang mga parts mapa brandnew or surplus.

pero ngayon nung dekada 90 unti-unti nakabawi ulit ang corolla dahil nga lumalabas na eto pa rin ang pinakamatibay at madaling i-maintain, di lang yan nag-improve na rin ang porma nito or design nito (lancer ay singkit at ang corolla naman ay small body), syempre pag dating pa rin sa bilihan ng piyesa eto pa rin ang pinaka mura mapa brand new or surplus at sa reselling value mas tumaas ang corolla kesa sa lancer at hanggang sa ngayon.

kaya ang maganda nyan corolla na ang bilhin mo ok bahala ka na kung gusto mo ang big body or lovelife kung Gli or XE XL LE kung gusto mo talaga ng matipid kunin mo na yun Gli kasi EFi at mas efficient ito, ok rin naman ang 1300 kaso dahil nga de karburador yan sa katagalan nagiging malakas sa gasolina yan kasi lumalaki ang mga butas ng jettings

If later on your parents will need to sell the car, the big body corolla is much easier to sell, and you will get more money worth for it.

get the corolla. lancer models are known for its suspension defects.

The thread is 11 years old. But I have the similar question as the original poster.

Are the 1998-2000 Corollas still a good buy for 2020?

hindi naman daw mahirap hanapan ng piyesa't mekaniko, sabi ng officemate kong merong late 90s corolla gli.
"once fixed, they stay fixed", sabi niya.
hindi pa-ulit-ulit ang sira.
