    My bad, I get it mixed up between the GLS and GLX on which one has the manual and the CVT.

    So for city driving like stop and go traffic I'd call it equal, the Fiesta is a bit shift happy which tends to up shift early which can be annoying but is remedied when put into L mode to hold the revs, while the Lancer CVT works like a charm which gives a smoother ride.

    My performance related mods are simple:

    -18inch GTA wheels with 225/40/R18 tires.
    -K&N drop-in air filter
    -UNICHIP piggyback ECU w/ dyno tuning (gained 15whp)

    glx = m/t
    gls = cvt

    Since meron ka ng Carens which can make you smile naman, even more than EX given all the power of that CRDi (Santa Fe's twin), I would say Fiesta is the better 2nd car for your needs...

    Lancer EX GLS:

    Just recently had my 5,000 km service. Paid less than P3K.

    exactly my thought when deciding for the fiesta. but it's hard to resist the lancer. laki kasi discount! halos same price lang siya ng 1.6 high end altis and mas lower siya sa 2.0 civic and altis. value for money talaga.

    my preferences
    1. value for money
    Lancer EX. What is better value than having a bigger car? A car that rides & drives smoothly, even on cracked and uneven roads.

    2. fun to drive
    The 2.0L engine is more than willing to accelerate the car quickly. You can choose silk smooth driving via the CVT or shifting to manu-matic mode for that six speed tranny action.

    As stock, you might find the steering response a little slow. But upgrading to 18s greatly improves handling.

    3. porma
    Lancer EX... hands down.

    4. more on city driving(from office to work)
    Lancer EX provides more space inside the cabin. Comfortable seats and ample legroom front and back.

    5. maintenance
    Can't say yet for the Fiesta but so far I have been surprised at the low cost of my first 1000 and 5000 km service schedules on my Lancer EX.

    Lancer EX. Ang liit liit ng Fiesta. Pang mini-me. Kung maliit ka din, pwede na Fiesta.
