Elantra 1.6 or Lancer EX MX 1.6

[obfuscator]

Hi

Planning to buy our first car, so still deciding if Elantra or yung Lancer EX MX (eyeing on the 2013 model na 1.6)

What you guys think ang the best overall? Pros and Cons

Thanks in advanced

Based on paper (Lancer EX 1.6 and Elantra 1.6)

Engine (hp / torque )
Lancer: 117ps / 154nm
Elantra: 130ps / 156nm
Elantra wins

Drivetrain:
Lancer MT: 5 speed manual
Lancet AT: 4 speed invecs II
Elantra MT: 6 speed manual
Elantra AT: 6 speed shiftronic
Elantra Wins

Brakes (front / rear)
Lancer: disc / drum
Elantra: disc / drum
Tie

Head Unit:
Lancer: 8 inch touch screen (MX with GPS)
Elantra: suksuk type (1 DIN)
Lancer wins, pero mas madaling palitan ang sa elantra 1.6

Tires:
Lancer: 205/60 r16
Elantra: 195/65 r15
Lancer wins. Kahit magpalit ka, mas malaki ang gulong ni lancer

Price before discount:
Lancer GLX MT: 825k
Lancer GLX AT: 855K
Lancer MX AT: 930k
Elantra MT: 818K
Elantra AT: 888K
Depende sa pipiliin mong trim ...
Mitsu usually give 30k to 40k cash discount
Hyundai usually give low-down all-in promo

Maintenance:
Lancer: 6 months/5000KM (AFAIK)
Elantra: 3 months/5000KM
Dito maraming nagrereklamo sa Hyundai.
I've had 3 Mitsu and 2 Hyundais, iilan lang ang matinong CASA ni Hyundai as compared to Mitsu

Looks: subjective
Handling: Lancer
Road Noise Insulation: Lancer (bulok yung kumho tires ni elantra)


I have an elantra 1.8gls and I'd choose it anytime against Lancer EX 1.6MX and the previous Lancer EX 2.0MX

Pero for a 1.6, I'm leaning towards Lancer 1.6 GLX AT, considering that I dont usually modify my ride's exterior. And when it comes to tuning, mas maraming tuning option si Lancer.

lancer for me. mas maporma. consider the elantra kung handa ka sa horrible pms nila :D

[dr. d]

the figures are all very nice.. but my question is, what about 3 or 5 years down the road? which car will give less headaches? these 2 cars are both new models still..

[renzo_d10]

If you were to mod, I'd suggest the Lancer EX. If you'll keep it stock, then you're better off with the Elantra.

The Elantra will look better if both cars were to be "untouched"

I think that the Lancer EX will last longer than the Elantra though -- big factor if you'll keep the car for more than a decade.

Hyundai also sucks, after-service wise. You have to choose your dealer wisely.

yung current Elantra lumabas nung 2011. yung current Lancer 2008 yata, so naka 3 years na. based sa experience ng mga current models, meron ng track record ang Lancer, yung Elantra nag-iipon pa. pero Elantra is a global car so you are almost assured na magtatagal yan

yung PMS, dyan nagkakatalo kasi si HARI lumihis sa standard Hyundai policy

[GTi]

I'd go for the Elantra. There's not much that is in the Lancer that the Elantra lacks that cannot be rectified by a quick trip to Banawe. But then what the Elantra has which the Lancer does not have will either be impossible or very costly to rectify.

Lancer EX is also a global car ...
Introduced in the US since 2007

Although for some reason, baligtad sa US, mas mababa ang resale value ng Mitsus as compared to Hyundais. I suppose dahil hindi matakaw ang Mga Hyundai Casa sa US

[renzo_d10]

If there's one thing Hyundai should improve on it is their suspension/underchassis.

It's been a common complaint among owners that parts on their suspension give up already on the first few years of ownership.

And of course, again, their after-sales service. ;)

^ kelan kaya magbabago ng policy ang HARI? pag nabasa ng potential buyer mga complaints dito sa Tsikot, sigurado magdadalawang isip ng i-consider any HARI-distributed Hyundai cars

[dr. d]

and (probably for the nth time..)..
hyundai cars are ok, according to my kakilala who knows that a compact is compressed powder in a can.. but the casa service is horrible daw. the technology might be there... but the inter-personal relationship is sorely lacking!! as in.. neuron-deficient talaga!!

Baka kapag napansin nila bumababa na sales nila tapos tumataas yung reklamo regarding their after-sales service. Tingin ko kasi ang HARI ngayon masyadong confident, mabenta kasi Hyundai eh.

Tipong kahit na mag-reklamo mga sampung tao okay lang sakanila kasi at the end of the day, more than ten yung magoorder ng unit. Ganun.

Tingin ko lang naman ha.

^ sana mag next level na Pitstop para merong alternative sa HARI

sana nga. mamamatay ang hari pag ganun

[Retz]

Go for Lancer na lang. Sasakit ulo mo sa pms ng Elantra mo.

[dfopiso]

sana wag naman. mag-improve dapat si HARI

thanks for the input guys, i guess lancer it is, im actually going for las pinas branch kahit malayo dahil may kilala kaming SA dito. Mukhang olats nga pag kumuha ako ng elantra, ok sana, pero habol ko kasi is yung after sales service.

medyo o.t. lang, anong store ung marerecommend nyo in case magpa modify ako dun sa banawe?

But before deciding, test drive mo sila pareho . . .

I was so close to buying a civic when it was introduced 2006 ... In fact, i nave the company check for honda alabang. Sobrang efficient kasi ng HR namin, nagpa quote lang ako sa Honda, may check na the next day . . . But when I got a chance to test drive the civic, di ko pala kayang i drive given the long dashboard and Im a half blind 5'4". I ended up with a City instead

Disc brakes na both front and rear ng Lancer. Another thing is suspension. Independent rear suspension na Lancer while Torsion beam lang Elantra.
