Help: mitsu glxi 97 vs. civic vti 96 vs corolla gli 95

[Deng]

yung gli98(lovelife), matic ko 13kms/liter sya sa long drive. playing from 80-120kms takbo ok sya compared sa civic lxi97 ko 10-11kms lang..ewan ko kung bakit. benta ko nga lang ulit yung gli ko kasi maliit sya para sakin. consider ko rin lancer eh kaya lang nung nakita ko loob parang plastic itsura. tama ka squala ok talaga suspension ng corolla...reklamo ko sa civic ko nun yung likod pag nalulubak may "TOG" sound eh naka 14inch rim lang ako and 65series tires. ok din shock stopper etc...

ganun ba talaga honda? kasi pati accord ng kapatid ko ganun din sound.

check nyo car ko for sale na. gli98 matic.

My 98 Lxi is doing 14 km/L in long drive with slight traffic. Manila to Bataan. Manila to Batangas. The "TOG" at the rear ound could be caused by worn trailing arm bushing. my car's underchassis still feels very solid, pero me mga pinalitan na din ... like stab links.

yung lxi ko ok naman mga bushings kasi nung nagpa check ako sa honda quezon ave ang findings nila is shock stopper nga yung parang rubber-stryro sa shocks. di pinalitan nila ganun pa din. tapos medyo naiirita na ako nagtanong nako sa banaue ang sabi nila ganun daw ang honda kasi sa spring na ginamit nila maliit.

good yung lxi mo kung nakaka 14km/li sana maka tyempo ako ng ganyan katipid.

peace

Ang totoo bro ay mas matigas talaga ang spring ng civic kesa ibang sedan, maski maliit ng spring ay medyo stiff naman sya. Kapag medyo worn na din ang shocks mo sa rear makakaramdin din talaga ng ganon. Baka kasi madalas na nag bo-bottom na yung shocks.

pero ang vote ko ay sa Civic pa din. and cons lang ay medyo mahal ang mga parts nito. pero sulit naman dahil matibay. My 2nd vote would be the Lancer, sorry pero di ko masyado type ang porma ng AE 101.

Only 2 of the 3 cars mentioned ang may firsthand experience ako - Civic and Corolla. The lancer we had was the Gti. If reliability of mitsu made cars is the basis, I'd say OK naman lancer, hindi ka ititirik (xcept nung masira ECU nito). On the build quality, medyo maraming kumalampag sa Lancer GTi within the 6 years the ginamit namin ('92 - early '98) but then again, this is a different horse from the GLXi. Our Civic had 1 minor suspension problem, the corolla had none.

A friend owns a 1999 GLXi a/t, he's very satisfied with this car, it's fast, economical and sound set-up is amazing (hehe not really part of the car tho).

Still, If i've to choose, I'd get the CIVIC. hindi po ako bias sa CIVIC, just na mas gusto ko talaga over-all yung model na yun. Para ngang mas gusto ko pa sya than the current model IMHO lang naman po = )

I personally think the Civic's suspension is softer than the Corolla. It's also lower which is why it drives in a sportier manner. Downside of this though is that it's not as long-lasting as the Toyota's.

All three cars are nice-looking. Front, I like the Civic, rear, Lancer, everywhere else, Corolla. Choosing through aesthetics is a matter of personal taste.

oo nga ok porma ng civic...kainis lang kasi ginamit na ng mga XLT jeeps yung headlight ng civic maski CRV...corolla naman taxi. ok legroom ng civic pero mas natatatagan ako sa ride ng corolla (bigbody and lovelife). overall corolla talaga ako...kaya lang liit.
