Due to budget constraints, these are my only choices. Ive ruled out the other brands already.
Ive been waiting for the Focus since last year but when I heard the Lancer has a new 1.6L variant for the new body, it made me think twice.. I love the looks of the new HB Focus but the Lancer, although a little old, still looks great and I think its looks will never get old. Plus its priced cheaper than the new Focus. Although the Lancer only has a 4sp A/T vs 6sp Pwershift for Focus, the MX has HID and GPS + more spacious. Hmm...
