Which is better, a honda civic or lancer MX?

[sarceangel]

[SIZE=3]I am a newbie in cars and I am planning to buy a pre-owned car, my budget ranges from 200-250k. My preferred car was Honda civic especially with vtec engine but I cannot find a good one that satisfies my dream car. I already look for several Honda civic but there are minor problem within that cars, some have engine problem and some have bumps, I consulted with my colleagues and they said that I should not rush to seek for a better one but when I saw the Mitsubishi lancer MX, I was amazed of its features but it cost more than my budget. And now, I am comparing the one I’ve seen already, a 1999 Honda civic vtec engine that costs 245k while 2001 Mitsubishi Lancer MX that costs 300k, should I go with my dream car or go with the lancer that has good condition but it needs additional budget. Is the 2001 Lancer MX really costs much or it is already okay? Which is better, a Honda civic or Mitsubishi lancer MX?[/SIZE]

imho. mas masarap magmaneho ng invecs II.... hehehehe.

sa akin lang, i would go for the newer car. although if re-sale and power is important to you, the civic will be ok because of its higher resale value and more powerful engine.

bro sa budget mo na yan madami kana mahahanap.hanapin mo yung 96-99 model.kung makatsamba ka.SiR body kunin mo...maporma yun, lalo na kung nabihisan. bro, mas masarap magkaroon ng civic..kahit medyo may edad na ang civic, dami parin potential para gumanda ulit. power, looks, and lastly TIMELESS....kaya ilove my EGcivic.

6 years ago i bought a 2002 lancer mx, and i was glad i saw it before i was about to put a down payment on an civic. or an altis. things that were options in the civic were standard in the mx. 99 civic has rear drum brakes, mx has 4 wheel disks. leather seats na ang 2001/2002 mx, black pa lang lang nga and not the present biege sa bagong mx. invecs ii tranny din.

kung ako sa iyo yung mas bagong 2001 mx na lang kesa sa 99 na civic. di ka magsisisi.

A VTi is a very good car, but you have to check very carefully for rust on the roof.

Whichever car you get, make sure it's in good condition. That means the engine revs smoothly, the transmission isn't noisy or jerky, and the suspension is relatively quiet. It's a given that you'll have to spend a little more money to maintain a secondhand car, but you want to make sure that your first set of repairs won't happen for a long time.

Honda civic bro.. mas maganda sya at madami k naman mahahanap na maganda pa.. pero nasa sau pa rin ang desisyon kung anu gust2 moh..

[EGcoolmhan]

go for honda bro, isipin mo wala pang taxi na honda di ka pa mahuhuli sa porma...pero sa huli nasa iyo din yan.. but remember, Honda.....Timeless..

before i have 96 lancer glxi a/t, now i have 07 honda civic 1.8s still i missed my lancer. it served me well and maganda ang performance.

as saying goes first love never dies and in your case your first love seemed the honda.

[glenngj]

go for honda, mas magandang ayusan.. ganda din tumakbo.. sa mga kotse na ginagamit ko yung honda civic ang favorite ko..

[sarceangel]

thanks po sa mga suggestions... but I'm still not sure what car should I buy... ayaw ko kasi magkaroon ako ng problema going down to bataan from baguio...that's a long drive....

[pitbullz]

kung ano ang nasa puso mo,sundin mo.

bosing,bosing, get the car that has the best overall condition. also. kilatisin mo mabuti ang honda na tinitignan mo. hanapin mo yun wala masyadong papagawan pa. kundi ako nagkakamali medyo may kamahalan ang parts nyan tsaka di lahat ng mekaniko marunong magbutingting nyan. :D

passion = honda

practicality = lancer

both are great cars naman so long as they are in great condition.

better yet,pang down mo na lang yan and get a brand new car. ganda ng gauges ng bagong civic ngyn

1st time ko magka auto nung 2004, ito din ang pinagpilian ko, i end up buying the 99 vtec matic. hinde ako nagsisi, all minor repairs lang ang ginawa ko and basta agapan mo lang yung mga mililiit na sira para hinde lumaki. i keep it stock lang up to now kaya pogi pa rin hehehe

[a4Tech]

With that kind of money (300K)...i down ko na yan sa Alto Deluxe. Less worries.

though im a mits user, i think i'll go for the honda civic, ksi yung cousin ko meron sya lancer mx 2000...medyo binigyan sya ng problema and ngayon may bagong prob. nanaman regarding pa dun sa computer box daw ang sira...and isa pang sakit ng lancer is yung suspension nya. kaya tingin ko tlaga bro go for the honda civic nalang tutal it's ur first choice.

[sparco]

IMO, Its not what brand of car , Its HOW you maintain your car, kahit Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Mitsu pa yan, tapos hindi mo naman inalagaan ng ayos, balewala rin. Before i bought my lancer (96 GLXi), dami nagsabi sa kin panget daw lancer, sirain daw ang suspension, idle servo, etc... But I maintained it well, up to now ok pa rin, hindi ako binigyan ng sakit ng ulo.
