In terms of value, the Altis is a sure bet, but it's boring. The Lancer is good value for money, and it drives better, but dealership service is kind of so-so, depending on the dealership you go to.
Ditto. Suspension di nagtitipid ang Mitsubishi. Lancers has a rally heritage kaya di nila dapat talaga i-shortchange ang suspension nito. Multilink independent versus the Altis' Torsion beam is no contest. Matagtag ang Altis compared to this but the Altis feels more rigid and solidly constructed.
The CVT should give you a shift-shock free driving with the Lancer and CVT should compensate for the lack new fuel saving innovations for its engine unlike the Toyota's VVT-i engine and the mechanism of CVT should squeeze out most of the power of the engine.
In contrast to Niky, i love Toyotas Matics. On the contrary, their manuals i find jerky, noisy and scratchy in their motions. Toyota's matics i find such a smooth operator. It's not like Honda's abrupt when upshifting just to accelerate fast. It's about smoothing shifts and relaxed driving. Downshifts just about the right time without the jerk still.
