yes i suggest u test it drive for yourself. the new lancer + CVT might be the new eye candy now. but quite frankly i think i would hate it on long drives like going to Baguio/ Bikol / Ilocos..... why? its engine - tranny combo makes alot of noise, and the sound pretty much permeates the cabin with a high pitched whine that's not as melodious as big v8 or I6 of a BMW. what's up with that car --- too darn noisy!

or if u'll get the lancer . get the top-spec one with the RockFord Fosgate sound system to drown the noise with thumping sound. haha.

Love the rumble (even at low speeds) from the 2.0li of the lancer!

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

Take the civic, you can't hardly distinguish the current civic from the coming facelifted one, get the civic with discounts being offered now or get the facelifted one with probably a slight price increase. The lancer for me is not that attractive especially those old model galant shaped headlights .

Gusto ko din talaga sana yun GTA, but si wifey ayaw daw niya magdala ng auto sa office na may spoiler

Still driving my reliable but fun Civic SiR, pero with the current gen vs the Lancer, my vote will have to go sa Lancer. Pogi and mas maraming toys kesa sa Civic.

I was able to drive both models, i'd say go for the Lancer. It's true that the engine is a bit noisy (misses, may not like it though) but the feel is really different and the handling is very nice.

Plus, the fact that this is just a new release, compared to the starting-to-age Civic, should really be a plus.

If you can shell out that extra 1OOk, go for the top of the line. Fully dressed Lancer is a real head-turner.

just my two cents.

one good thing with the 2.0 lancer is the availability of m/t. if not for the auto priority of oliver's wife definitely the GT is winner for me. sarap pa hiram hiramin diba?

CBU japan pa.
