    I am really in a stage of extreme dilemma to whether what car I'm going to choose. Both are brand new except:

    1. Vios = DP 120k * 15k for 4 Years
    2. Lancer = DP 110k * 15k for 4 Years

    Things that I compare between the two:

    1. Safety - Lancer
    2. Speed - Lancer
    3. FC - Vios
    4. Exterior - Both
    5. Interior - Lancer
    6. Resale Value - Vios

    I need your opinions or suggestions regarding the two. Thanks in Advance.

    Exterior, i prefer the lancer.
    But compute mo. the only difference is the cash outlay. If you will be selling your car after the financing or even three years after the financing, bawi mo na yung 10k difference, if you would get a Vios.

    The initial cash outly is not that big a difference.
    Given your criteria, I think you already have an inkling on what to have.

    The Vios 1.3 E is a nice practical small family car. The only thing you will consider the Lancer 1.6 GLX is if you need a more spacious car. But basically you have to trade fuel economy and resale value for a bigger and faster car.

    What criteria do you think weighs more for you?

    ang liit na lang pala ng difference ng dalawa ngayon...

    if i were to choose, ill go for the vios na lang than the lancer. kahit mas maliit yung engine and smaller body, for sure mas ok resale value niya after ilang years.

    Thanks guys for your very informative replies.

    My family talked about this, and we agreed to prioritize fuel economy, for also I'll use this car mainly for city driving and thinking that the current traffic condition here in the metro worsens everyday, that's why we have a 90% Vios and 10% Lancer now.

    Plus the bonus of a higher resale value at the end of the term.

    It is really good pag pinagsasabong mo ang mga agent ng mga kotse you'll get the best offer you could never imagine. the vios from 165k to 120k its really a great deal.

    Still yet the looks of the lancer is very nice plus the features.
