That is because the Lancer MX is a CVT, little slow on acceleration. Even though it is 200cc up on the Civic 1.8L.

sa tingin ko, civic ang may best package sa tamang price.. and also be noted that the current 1.8S variant has paddle shifters.. :D

RE: Acceleration: Let's not forget that the Lancer is heavier, too.

Honda automatic transmissions are geared very short for the first two or three gears, which gives them great 0-100 times. But they have longer highway gears, which means that on the open road, between 100-160 km/h the Lancer might just as fast or faster.

Actually hindi pa ako nakakapili hanggang ngayon. I'm still thinking about it over and over and over again. Altis and Lancer new design just came out 2008 so medyo matagal tagal pa bago sila magpalit ng looks. Civic however, since 2006 or 2007 pa itong design na ito (not sure).

Kailan kaya lalabas ang bagong civic?

Hehehe even if the Civic design was that of 2006 pa its still fresher than any of its competitors maybe except the Lancer.

Matagal pa iyan, baka mga 2011 or 2012 pa. It has just received its facelift, which means that it will still be around for quite some time.

ako din kc namimili dati kc bibili din ako ngayong august, sakin lancer bibilhin ko, dahil nung nagtanong ako sa honda balintawak sabi sakin bka magpalit na daw next year kaya mag city or jazz na lang daw ako, pero sa tingin ko ang exact year na magpapalit sila 2011 kc meron nko nakitang pic nung nag-google ako ng civic 2011, pero 2010 ala naman pero usual kc nilang pagpapalit every 5years din kaya i'm sure 2011 palit na sila, and ok lang ba sayo na parang XRM sa dami yung sasakyan na katulad mo, beside wala pa akong nasearch na reklamo sa lancer ex bukaod sa may buzzing sound daw sa dashboard pero kadalasan dahil daw sa mga gamit sa loob ng glove box. tpos matipid daw sya sa gas para sa isang 2.0 na engine pero syempre masmalakas sya kung compare mo sa 1.8 or 1.6
