08 Lancer 2.0 MX or Civic 1.8S AT

[oliver1013]

Guys need your opinions for the final decision for kumander's car..must be automatic, 1.8 to 2.0 liter displacement, spacious for a family of 4. fuel consumption(basta wag lang nalalayo sa 96 exsior)kumander's previous car..

After a week of car hunting it all boiled down to this 2 models for the final decision...note for some reason ayaw talaga ni esmi ng new altis

Same price range Civic 875k lancer 920K after discounts.
transmission lancer has edge because of paddle shift (nagagamit ba talaga to?)
Resale value civic daw as per my honda SA says lancer di pa natin alam pero dahil daw mitsubishi mababa nga daw..
Looks: mas pogi talaga yung MX

As for me emotion tells me lancer..pogi eh but my practical side tells me na civic kasi nga subok na reputasyon at matagal na siya sa market 3 years na ata...

Pero pogi talaga ng Lancer

lancer. ang pogi

I don't know if the base Lancer has paddle shifts... I thought this was for the GT-A.

Personally... Lancer has better seats, more space, a more supple ride and similar handling. Only problem is the bigger body and engine will make it less fuel efficient.

Misis really don't like the Corolla? Shame. she should take a ride in the back seat of the new Corolla over a bumpy road... it's absolutely perfect.

Only downside with the Corolla is it's not as spacious as the competition (stupid front footwell), the steering is absolute bollocks, and the engines are outdated, but it's the most painless commuter out there.

^^ Yes Niky base model MX has paddle shifts, but no spoilers and skirts, Rockford, rain sensing wipers and curtain airbags...

When it comes to FC di naman siguro malayo sa FC ng exsior considering newer technology tong lancer baka mas matipid pa?

IMO i'll wait for the facelifted 1.8S ilang buwan na lang ito. totally new that i can keep even 10 or more years. may offer na 70K discount on selected civics palagay ko malapit na to.

Try driving the Lancer GT-A and let us see if you can say the same thing again.

Funny, that's exactly the reason why I'll never choose the Civic. :bwahaha:
