Altis g or Lancer Gta

[LiveLoveInvest]

Planning to get it mga early 2015. 1st car, reward ko lang sa sarili ko for working hard hehe

What can you recommend to a 24 year old, single, daily drive to office Pque to makati ( via skyway ).

I know some would say go for what your heart desires and honestly pareho talaga lalo na with the discounts of lancer. Pag nakita ko sa daan napapalingon ako sa pareho after din ako sa sound system lalo na with the traffic everyday. I've heard na this could be the last lancer model and does not really matter if old model sya, and sa altis naman maangas din talaga ang look

1.6g at lang ang budget sa altis pero for the 990k ata na inooffer ngayon na lancer pwede naman magshell out.
Care to give feedbacks on both cars? And if kayo ang nasa position ko ano pipiliin niyo? Thanks

[ka_omeng]

Lancer. Iba ang dating. Thou maganda din altis pero may something sa lancer. Tama mapapalingon ka nga.

[drphph]

I also vote for the GT-A at 990k. Just 1 thing to note, matakaw sa gas ang Lancer. This car was made during the time when being fuel efficient is not a thing so expect low mileages. Pero for the looks, power and price, I'll go for it.

Bro, pasok sa budget mo yung 2014 Mazda 3 1.5V

Its sportier and the built quality is better than the Lancer GTA

The only downside is the stock rims, but pwede naman palitan ng 17" aftermarket

[robgowild]

If between Lancer GTA and Altis, I go with the Lancer GTA. Iba talaga looks nya eh plus isama mo pa yung spoiler talagang mapapalingon ka. But the new Mazda 3, maganda din with a newer design.

[soul12]

Get Mazda 3

[LiveLoveInvest]

Actually kasama sa choices ko dati ang mazda 3 pero there's something in me na medyo nagsasawa ako agad pag nakakakita ako ng mazda 3 ( maybe it's just me ) lalo na't ang pasok lang sa budget ko is yung 1.5.

So i've narrowed it down to these 2

Lancer gta. 2.0 engine. Tapos rockford na rin ata to? Correct me if im wrong.

Ayun nga lang, yung fc nga mas mababa kaysa altis dahil 2.0 to

[aNthraxx]

Lancer GTA for me.

[crosswind]

I will pick the Lancer GTA anytime and malapit na madiscountinued yata ang lancer
if you want a more modern car go for the altis

[joemarski]

Lancer GTA

looks and performance, panalo na agad. sa fc lang nanalo ang altis.
pero kung ang kalaban eh Mazda 3 2.0R Speed... aaahhh, 'yan ang magandang laban. :car:

Lancer GT-A over the Altis 1.6G, if you are leaning over a more sporty ride. If you are more concerned with fuel consumption, Altis G over the Lancer GT-A.

Any other options? The Mazda 1.5L models (sedan or hatchback) or the Civic 1.8S AT will be good options. How about the fuel efficiency of a small engine but with the power of 1.6L cars and pull (torque) of 2.0L cars? The Fiesta Ecoboost is the most fun to drive car (zippy drive, responsive steering) for something less than 1M. However, it is a bit cramped in the rear compared to subcompacts and compacts.

I'll go against the majority and say the Altis 1.6 G. I'm all for fuel efficiency nowadays even if fuel prices are going down. It's also way newer and classier on the inside imo.

[MarkQ]

GTA for the win.

[kimbon]

Get the altis if you always drive within the city.

reports say the prices will be going up again once the fuel refineries move out of pandacan though. I like how it's very roomy inside the altis as compared to the lancer, but I fancy sporty rides over passenger comfort so my point goes to the gta

Hmmm, a few more variables here and there.

The thing about car buying for your own personal use is that it's more of an emotion rather than a logical one. But I will also throw out the caution of not stretching your finances thin. If you're planning to do a smaller downpayment than 50%, I'll advice against your purchase and will advice you to get something less expensive. Something like a Toyota Vios will still ferry you from Point A to Point B while burdening your wallet less over the years.

I'll first isolate your sound system woes. I'll only peg the Rockford Fosgate system of the Lancer to be around Php15,000 to Php20,000. This isn't the market price but that's what I'll value it. It's not really all that "wow" but it's an added upgrade to normal speaker and it's the "OEM" factor that inflates the price.

For the car, I will advice you go for the Toyota Altis if you're worried about the depreciation value of any car. While the Lancer has maintained its value well, nothing will beat the thousands more Altis who'll soon be plying our roads. And since it's a major upgrade by Toyota, you're guaranteed you won't really be driving an "old" car soon.

I'll recommend the Lancer GT-A if you're thinking of "upgrading". The Lancer rides on a great chassis and the engine is easily one of the stars in its category even after factoring its age. Between the two, I'll choose the Lancer. Why? The 2.0L powerplant is a gem whether it's for city driving or as a great base for adding performance parts. You should also take a look at Evo X wraparound kits which will really upgrade the aggressive ante the Lancer already has once you have thrown some performance modifications at it.

If you won't be the type to fuss about the depreciation - as in you plan on keeping the car for a long time, go for the newer Mazda 3. While initial costs might be quite high, you'll save up on its Yojin3 program over the long-run with a free 3-year service. But the two factors why this is ranks high on my list is: (1) engine and handling, and (2) build quality. Its Skyactiv engine with its Atkinson cycle engine is extremely efficient - not only does it have a lot of power but you have fuel efficiency to boot. Handling is the gem, until now I still find time to drive my sister's Mazda 3 from time to time. This is high praise since I own a better car than hers it's build quality is quickly approaching German-quality and that's something that should be experienced.. rather than told.

Yup looks and performance I know mas mageenjoy ako sa gta.

The only downside kasi is yung interior, parang sobrang bland ng interior ng gta pero binawi naman sa exterior. Pero yun nga since I will be spending most of the time inside medyo factor din ang quality ng interior.

This would be my very 1st car ever and gusto ko talaga sana no regrets pero ang hirap talaga mamili between the 2
