Altis 2.0V vs. Lancer GT-A

[lexwen]

Hey guys,

Just want to know your ideas about this two models, ito kasi pampapalit ng bro ko sa FD namin which only got sold yesterday. We already dropped the Chevy Cruze LT with the choices after reading all the reviews you guys posted here. Just want to know the pros and cons between the two like FC, ownership cost especially with the GT-A since we already had an Altis before, parts availability, and the least important resale value (we'll use the car for only 4 years maximum).

TIA

I'd get the Lancer EX GT-A. It has more power, great handling, lots of toys, killer looks and reasonable FC. The Altis 2.0V doesn't have as much power as the GT-A and goes the luxury route. Now, the Altis is a compact sedan and so luxury is most definitely not its forte however you look at it. If you want power and luxury, the Hyundai Sonata is the way to go.

Sana hindi ka na gumawa ng new thread, bro lexwen.

Anyway, Lancer EX parin.

Hindi dinala ng Toyota dito yung Malaysian Version na Altis eh. 170HP ata yung 2.0Li. Dual VVT-i nun. Tapos 7 speed ata.

GTi: Ehdi magiging tatlo na ang Sonata sa kanila?

yun bang altis yun may start stop. if so, dun ako

Thanks Sir GTi for the input I already have a Sonata the car we're buying is for my bro.

*Sir SG - hehehe sorry oo nga pala may thread pa pala ako dun sa Cruze vs. GT-A, anyway saw these two models yesterday at their respective showrooms here in Pampanga and we're pretty sure to stick our choice between the two.

afaik, pati yung 1.6V variant, may push start

BTT:

Lancer EX for:

looks
performance
aftermarket mods

though maka-toyota ako,mas sulit yung lancer GTA over the altis 2.0. and regarding sa FC, parang parehas lang. they both have 2.0 engines.

[cjv_justice]

Lancer GT-A for me...

[Chikselog]

GT-A na.

RF Sound System
Paddle Shifters
6 Speed CVT (4 speed lang Altis)
Pogi (Looks)

Downside lang sa GT-A is the small trunk.

afaik, pati yung 1.6V variant, may push start

True. Saw the 1.6V variant last autofocus car show.

Ang kalalabasan nito parang yung sa kabila din. Landslide ang pagka-panalo ng EX GT-A

If you're going to put up with the fuel consumption of a 2.0, might as well get a car that has the suspension and brakes to deal with the power, and which has the extra space to go with the price.

That's the Lancer.

4-Speed A/T parin ba ang Altis ngayon, diba 5 na?

BTW, magkano yung 1.6V?

[aejhayl17]

P955K bro.

BTW, afaik, yung 1,6V ata 4speed lang ata, yung 2.0V CVT na.

[Starex_Gold]

Sablay dyan Tapos walang paddle shifters.

For 955K, I find it expensive. 1.6Li lang naman eh. Pero sana binawi sa features.

May Smart Key, Engine Start-Stop button nga, naka leather seats ba at power retract side mirrors?

EDIT: di pala naka power retract

[lexwen]

Looks like landslide again for the GT-A, how about ownership cost? Di ba mahal maintenance ng Mitsu?

[oliver1013]

Mataas siguro ng onti ang Lancer sa Altis pagdating sa maintenance pero, di naman sigyro nagkakalayo

[Starex_Gold]

Masyado lang talaga mura ang maintenance ng Toyota

[niky]

The only advantage the Corolla has in terms of maintenance is the cost of suspension and brake parts... because it uses similar parts to the 1.6.

Which, by the way, is why they're so woefully inadequate for the power of the engine.

The engine is still a Camry engine, so parts are not as common as for the 1.6 (whose parts are not as common as for the 4AFE), and transmission and drivetrain parts are also different.

[Starex_Gold]

Camry engine?

Oh. Medyo high maintenance ang Camry, lalo na yung 3.5Q..
