Japanese daw ang Mitsubishi eh, Korean lang ang Hyundai

Oh how the stigma never dies...

Elantra for me.

I'd take the Lancer.

Rode in an Elantra, the Lancer's IRS still stands out

and I feel that it is more rigid than the Elantra too.

btw, base model Lancer comes with 16" mags and dual airbags and better head unit and it is cheaper than the Elantra.

looks is subjective, but i'd go with the timeless, more stern looking Lancer. Once Hyundai introduces a new design theme, they themselves would kill the Elantra's kinda 'fad' looks.

No issues of reliability here, I also own a Hyundai. They're kinda solid as well.

But Lancer definitely.

Driving dynamics goes to the Lancer nga pala. Lalo na kapag nilagay yung 18" wheels ng GT-A.

Pero mas enjoy kung may 2.0 M/T na Lancer.

I'd pick the Lancer any day.

Elantra for me

Iba parin dating pag nakakakita ako ng elantra sa daan lalo na yung may mods na.
Isama mo pa ung mga awards nya all over the world.

Lancer for me.

Dress it up nicely and it would be a killer.

Mas ok sana kung 2.0L MT for that extra oomph. :-)

I wonder how the Lancer 1.6 will cope with the heavier 18" rims. Baka naman pogi nga, mabagal naman tapos malakas pa sa gas.

Mitsu is launching the 1600 Lancer to challenge the fuel-cost-conscious buyers who are sliding to the side of practicality in their choices. Elantra looks fresh and fuel-economy is top notch for the 1.6 base model as we come to know now. Let's see what the 1600 Lancer can do. Set-up the Lancer EX to assimilate the EVO-look and it's a killer. Change the wheels to 18-inchers on the Elantra and it can pass as a sporty sedan for those who will not mind the Korean-badge.

I hope we can get fuel-efficiency figures for the Lancer 1.6 to finally make the proper comparison. :-)

I've had lancers before and i currently own an Elantra 1.8L GLS.
Suffice to say, I'm happy with Elantra as a daily driver.

Pero as a 1.6L "project", mukhang mas sulit yung Lancer.
Mas masikip ang interior, pero mas maraming options for mods.
