    Hi Peeps,

    Need your opinion between Elantra 1.6 GL M/T vs Lancer 1.6 EX M/T, I'm after fuel efficiency kasi po 121 kms po ang binabyahe ko everyday (bulacan to taguig and then back) parehas silang maganda eh at di rin nakakalayo sa presyo, mas lamang lang talaga sa interior ang elantra pero naka LCD naman kaagad ang lancer tapos may backup camera pa. Isa pang gumulo sa isipan ko eh 6 speed ang elantra compared the 5 speed ng lancer anyways sana po matulugan nyo po ako, thanks

    Parang mas tipid ang lancer, according to the various posts Ive read sa mga forums. And at the final gear, both cars can reach 100kph * 2.5krpm.
    Eto yung sa lancer running at 100kph sustained speed, 20km/l:

    kung 120 kms byahe mo araw araw durability ang dapat main concern mo. tingin ko mas matibay lancer . mas macho tingnan lancer and mas matagal maluma design nya. 6 speed vs 5 speed? kung kumakarera ka maganda 6 speed since mas closer yun gear ratios (better acceleration)pero kung predominantly highway byahe mo ok na 5 speed. yun final drive ratio nyan halos parehas lang. mas mabigat 6 speed tranny and mas madami pwede masira since more parts more wear and tear.

    Between the two choices, I would choose the elantra. The elantra has a bigger interior and trunk space. Its a lot newer also compared to the lancer. The FC difference between the two cars would probably be really close. I really like the lancer GTA though but the 1.6 lancer looks too plain for me.
    If I may suggest, considering you are traveling 121 kms daily, I would highly recommend the accent hatchback diesel. You will probably be saving at least 6000 pesos a month on fuel expense. Thats a lot of money which you could spend on other things or perhaps upgrades on your car. Take note that the accent diesel can make 25-30 kms/liter as claimed by the owners on the accent thread. Plus the fact that diesel fuel is a lot cheaper compared to gasoline. Do the math to see how much you could save monthly.

    I'd go with the Elantra between the two. Since you travel predominantly highway, the additional power and gear can actually be used. I don't really mind about the added features. You can install them on your own probably for an even lower price.

    +1 on the Accent CRDi though. With the amount of distance you travel, you'd save lots!

    I was choosing between Lancer EX and Elantra before, both 1.6. Then nakapagdecide ako na EX na lang kaso nagkaron ng announcement about the coming Accent CRDi so napaisip ako sa Accent. Kaso wala eh Lancer EX pa din kinabagsakan ko, yun ang sinisigaw talaga ng puso ko. :-)

    When I see an Elantra sa daan ngayon, narealize ko na sawa na pala ako sa itsura niya. Nung una kasi kaya ko sya nagustuhan poging pogi ako e. Pero ngayon wala ng dating. Nakakasawa ang fluidic design, unlike tong macho look ng Lancer na 5 years na sa market eh pogi pa din.

    Pag Accent naman nakikita ko, narealize ko na kaya ko lang siya gusto bilhin nun eh dahil naka diesel, matipid at mabilis pa. But aside from it, nothing else. Everything else goes to Lancer. Size, brand, customer service (since daming negative feedback sa Hyundai), aftermarket mods, parts availability, looks, features (since naka LCD na ito at GPS ready, camera at TPMS pwede din, sama mo na din TV, lahat yan nakaabang para sa LCD mo hehe), these things go to Lancer. Kung MT to MT pa eh tong Accent naka 14" wheels lang at hub caps lang ata.

    Yun nga lang kung malaking factor sayo ang size ng trunk at yung umbok sa rear passenger sa gitna, dun ka talo sa EX. Maliit lang trunk kumpara mo sa Elantra (I think. Kasi nakita ko sa Accent malaki e.), and yung bulk nga sa rear mejo malaking umbok, compared to Elantra. Actually eto yung isa sa concern ni b0y37 above sa EX.

    Stock to Stock, mas maganda siguro ang Elantra kung sa itsura lang dahil sa design nito. Pero for me, mas bagay sa girl driver ang itsura ng Elantra, no offense hehe Ang Lancer konteng bihis lang gwapong macho na dating nyan hehe

    Sa FC, matipid naman din tong Lancer, depende pa din sa driving style mo. Ako kasi bumyahe ng Baguio, binirit talaga end to end, pero 10 km/L pa din konsumo ko which is for me eh ok pa din, pero kung mag stable ka siguro between 70-100kph eh kaya ng 14 km/l and above pa. Sa byahe mong Bulacan to Taguig ang matinding kalaban mo jan eh yung EDSA traffic. Kahit ano pang oto mo jan bagsak ang FC mo. Byahe ko Novaliches QC-Taguig ang FC ko sa typical EDSA traffic is 8 km/l. May kasama na yang birit pag nakakita ng konting luwag. Pero kung sabayan ko ng tipid driving kahit maluwag kaya naman ng 9km/L dun.

    Pero on papers mas malakas ata ang Elantra sa EX, parang 127HP and Elantra while 115HP lang ang EX. Parang ganyan nakita ko noon e kung tama pagkakaalala ko.

    both are fuel efficient naman. i dont have figures for the elantra so di ko macocompare pero matipid ang lancer ex lalo na pag M/T according to current owners. even yung A/T matipid pagconservative driving (not going past 2k) pagkamoderate traffic nasa 8-10 pagka light nasa 12-14 nakukuha ko. that is if you can control yourself. masarap kasi ihataw kahit 1.6 lang cause of the sporty look of the car. for reliability wala akong experience sa korean brands so sa hapon na ako magtitiwala. yung accent gas nila ang daming owner namomroblema sa engine knock. although different model yun, its still the same brand.

    in terms of looks, honestly imo, stock to stock masmaganda elantra. lahat ng kaibigan ko na tinanong ko doon nagandahan pati parents ko. it looks almost naked to me without a blacked out front nose and side skirts. but the thing is, i wasnt planning to keep it stock when i chose this car. so i knew it will look better in the end. maganda kasing base car ang lancer for mods.

    kung maglalancer ka, expect to spend more in the long run. not because of fuel/maintenance, but because of mods

    I don't know if you'll agree with me but the time na nagiisip ako ng car last year, the elantra did not came to mind (well until now). I ended up with the lancer ex because of the looks fc and it has ample power when needed... It's not a performance car but it has enough.
