Civi, Elantra or Lancer EX

[3ple4]

Hi guys, I would be glad if you can help me out...

It's been two weeks and until now I'm still undecided which compact sedan to buy to replace my 05 Honda City 1.3, my choices are:

Civic 1.8 A/T
Elantra 1.6 A/T
Lancer EX 1.6 A/T

Primary purpose is to be used by driver to take my kids to school. In short, pang hatid sundo. Pero shempre during the first few months, ako muna ang gagamit kasi bago pa

Deal clincher would be fuel efficient and wide 2nd passenger row. Stiff suspension maybe I can do away with coz my kids hardly notices the suspension hehe!

I haven't done any test driving coz I have no time, just a quick stop to the showrooms was all I did. No time din kasi due to my busy schedule in the office.

Here are my comments on the 3:

Civic - I like Hondas, good service and quality of vehicles. However, parang malakas sa gas kasi 1.8L and so far walang cash discount from the dealers, I think except for the base 1.8L a/t

Elantra - I like the fluidic design and price. But also read some negative feedback bad insulation (road noise) and stiff suspension. And also bad Hyundai aftersales service.

Lancer - I still like the boxy design and I like Mitsubishis in general. Had good experience with Lancers before. However, very small trunk, eksakto lang ang isang stroller hehe! Another feedback that I didn't like is that it's more of a sporty ride meaning medyo stiff suspension din.
