[gdrew]

anybody out there, na pwede mg bigay sa akin ng advice, regarding 1990 TOYOTA COROLLA XL4 & 1987 MITSUBISHI LANCER (BOX TYPE)
kc, namimili ako sa dalawa, kung ano kya mas ok and mas maganda.. kc, i found out na ung corolla is 4 speed lang pla, but i hve already asked somebody about corolla xl4.. kht na 4 speed lng, umaabot pa ng 130 kms/ hr ung takbo.. (sbi nila un.. ) and sobrang mtipid daw sa gas because it is 12 valve lng.. but, gus2 ko din kc ng box type.. ewan ko kung bkit.. cute lng kc.. anybody out there, mkakatulong.. which do u think is better.. ??

what they say about the corolla xl4 is true. kahit 4 speed lang yan di yan aangal kahit paabutin mo hanggang 130kph. i own one btw. :D

[hytan]

Corolla XL4 pa rin ako.. Dami spare parts and easy maintenance

[Kicker15]

XL4 ka na lang

[roninblade]

i'd go with the corolla XL4 din.

[5Speed]

xl4 din ako.....

matipid, dami parts, at medyo modern looking na sya compared with box type lancer...

madali rin itong i-setup....hehehe

xl4 din ako. lakas hatak nyan.... kung baga yung 4th gear nyan parang double purpose. 4th and 5th gear na. tipid ka pa sa gas. dami pang parts, ganda pang pormahan.

[yamyam]

baket boxtype pa? eh di yung mas bagong singkit na lang, para kasabayan ng xl4..

[impulzz]

go for the XL4 na lang ... mas bago... roomier... mas malakas aircon...

box type kasi baka 3rd or 4th hand na makuha mo... pero kung ise-set-up mo. ok rin kung makakakuha ka ng '83 gsr model na naka 1.6 engine tapos 4 wheel disc brakes na. then kung may kilala kang magaling na mekaniko... hanap ka sa banawe kahit head lang ng MCA jet ng multi valve. tulin na yun. pero hirap na ang body parts ng box type... mga lites puro taiwan na sa banawe... kung surplus naman gusto nila set... my bro-in-law... asked how much driver side door... gusto ba naman 4 doors kunin namin... ganun na daw kasi bentahan nun... 14k kung pati internals...10k kung shell lang.

kaya mag xl4 ka na lang

[allanraymondr]

[jaycv]

xl4 ka na lang.. mas bago na.. dami pang parts available.. hehehe

Wrong forum... moving to Car Talk.

you didn't mention what variant of the box type you wer referring to. meron kasing sl, gt, gsr. kung sl ang variant, 4speed lang din yan and reverse is under second gear (naaliw tlga ako kasi ganito yung isang auto namin dati) pero kayang-kaya nun mag 140kph kahit 1.4 liter lang ang makina at 4spd lang. also, rear wheel drive yung lancer, mas magaan yung ibang trabaho like clutch replacement unlike ng mg front wheel drive cars na maraming aalisin pa to access the clutch. medyo mabigat pihitin ang manibela ng lancer unlike ng corolla na magaan kahit hindi power steering. lastly, medyo old school na yung box type and the corolla is more contemporary. maintenance cost would not be far from each other naman kaya lang as the lancer ages, baka mahirapan ka na sa peculiar parts as the other posters have said. good luck and hope you enjoy your new acquisition soon =)

ok.. ill go for XL4 na nga.. hehehe.. tnx po sa lahat ng advice.. pero just wnna ask, tlgang di bko mbibitin sa 4 speed lng? di naman kya maiiwan un? hehehe...

[TaNgENgot]

mag toyota ka na corolla ..pero kung makakahanap ka mas higher model..ng corolla...mas ok ..mas rommier at.. ..tama si sir 5 speed..mas madali pa set up..iyon box type ..may kalumaan na

[ssaloon]

xl4 din ako bro. used to own one (GL variant), it never let me down.

[gearspeed]

Dati meron kami nun box type na lancer sl oks naman yung lancer namin noon.wala akong naalala na naging problem namin sa lancer na yun ang hindi lang namin napaayos doon ay yung tail light na kapag nagbrabrake ka ay signal light ang umiilaw sa right side..pero mas maganda mag corolla xl4 ka na lang marami pang parts yan kaysa sa lancer na box type..

we own an XL....medyo bitin ung acceleration(as expected from a 1.3L i guess), pero it's still pretty fast imho. tsaka i think the ae92's were all CBUs from japan. not sure abt the box types

[ej_saiyajin4]

newbie here, what's a CBU?

[badkuk]

CBU = completely built up. basically almost everything is assembled in japan -- afaik gulong lang ang ikinabit locally.

di ba me lumabas na 5-speed variants?
