    None of the above. What I chose was the most fun to drive car for something less than 1M, the Ford Fiesta 1.0L Ecoboost. I never needed the extra space 'coz what I wanted was a daily driver which is fun to drive plus easier on gas expense compared to my old Accord.

    With the Mazda 3, maintenance for first 3 years is free. Parts and labor.

    but how about the space of mazda 3 and the longetivity of repairs since its free?
    if mazda 3, what variant might be the best choice?
    is it roomier than the other 3?
    thanks.

    They're either too old or overpriced.

    Agree with the Altis, Mazda 3, and if you prefer the Mitsubishi that badly, the ASX in GLX form
    When you say it old, what do you mean?, interior,exterior,performance,comfort?

    for the lancer GT-A (TOTL) it has the CVT, and the rest of the variants, none.Does it makes a big difference than the older ones?

    ASX has 2 forms, GLS & GSR.

    I'm also looking on ASX when i went to mitsubishi motors,unfortunately they dont have the unit.

    ASX is my best choice when it comes to AUV/SUV body type.

    The current generation of Lancers was released circa 2007, I believe, so that design is already nearing 8 years old. Mitsubishi simply injects new accessories into the shell to keep up with model changes in others. So whether it has those new toys you like, still it's encased in an old body.

    The ASX, a compact SUV based on the Lancer platform is comparatively new, undergoing a revamp in design and features just a month ago. With better features at a much lower price, it really invites serious consideration as compared to the other new models just released like the Altis and the Mazda3.

    In the end, it's your money. If the Lancer EX excites you, then go get it. We'll all be happy for you just the same.

    The Lancer EX GT-A is a steal if the rumors are true that it only costs 1M now after all the discounts.

    You get a 2.0 engine and sharp chassis, with a great looking exterior (unlike the 1.6 that looks too bare and entry-level).

    Newer cars like the City, Altis, and Mz3 have more toys but don't have the raw power that the Lancer offers.

    Looking at the price range of the TS, siguro mga nasa 950-1M. Kung Mazda 3, then it's either the 1.5V Hatch or Sedan. If you can stretch it a bit, then the 2.0R is a better buy for me. Although kung confirmed nga na 990k na lang yung Lancer EX, then it's a steal talaga.

    Yung next Lancer is rumored to be either co-developed or derived from an existing Renault vehicle, so eto na siguro yung last true Mitsubishi Lancer for a while.

    Very well understood what you mean.

    Well seeing the comments/suggestions/watching videos/reviews really helps.
    Honda city is almost everywhere nowadays, which forced me to choose in between those rare ones.

    Mentioning the Altis and Mazda3, did you already give them a test?
    Altis looks good as well,But then toyota i think has a least resistance,motoring-wise.
    Mazda3 havent seen in personal.

    anyways, which one do you prefer?

    Well, baka nga. ang hirap talga pumili haha. I think mazda 3 sedan is good, but im worried about its maintenance/service length. I heard it takes longer than normal. but dont know if this is true.

    Mitsubishi definitely made more profit selling it at 1.2M even with lower volume than they will be making now at 990k. Kailangan lang talaga magmove ng stocks kaya bagsak presyo.

    Even at 1.2M it sold pretty well relative to the Civic 2.0, Altis 2.0, and Mz3 2.0.

    If you have the budget at gusto mo talaga yan, go for it. Sulit sya compared sa ordinary mazda 3 2.0. Kasi 100k lang ang dagdag tapos ang daming features na naidagdag. Pero if you're looking at 1.5, malayo na ang price at hindi na sulit. Depends on your preference

    Why not the ordinary Mazda 3 2.0? For me not worth it yung Mazda 3 Speed. The black rims are ugly.

    The City is way overpriced. The Altis doesn't drive as nicely or feel as high-quality or look as good as the Mazda.

    Also, since you're in this price range already, ayaw mo ng Montero or Sportage CRDi?

    Same as what jut703, go with the standard trim of the TOTL Mazda3 2.0R. However, if you feel like spending a bit more for the Bose package, then run with it. I would not even consider getting a City VX+ with its tag price of almost 1M. What more with 1.1M? It's as if those Modulo accessories will make wonders to improve how the car drives which it will not.

    The Montero and Sportage are diesels. If you get 8 km/L in city driving, thats as good as getting 10 km/L with a gas fed car. None of those 2-liter sedans get 10 km/L in moderate city traffic.

    The gas Sportage is admittedly more of a gas guzzler (7 km/L vs 8 km/L for the 2-liter sedans), but it has higher ground clearance and more space. Better resale value too compared to a 2-liter compact, which only sells the same as a 1.6 liter in the secondhand market.

    The Mazda 3 is still more exciting than either of the Montero/Sportage, but these are far more practical especially the Montero.

    Very well said, I think Mazda 3 2014 model got the highest score among its competitors.
    Though rear legroom has been a little issue. I think that's fit enough for the Philippine guy.

    Mazda 3 is the winner,though its pricier.


    I'm gonna put up thread for the SUV type vehicle, since i'm done choosing with sedan.

    Thanks.
