    I've drove both the Altis 2.0 and Lancer 2.0 before.

    Even though Lancer looked fast on paper but somehow, it didn't feel fast at all although handling was definitely better than a Corolla. However, performance is definitely nowhere near an Evo. Interior quality is a big upgrade from the previous version but trunk space seems small.

    The Corolla may be the "boring" choice but for everyday driving, it feels much more comfortable and luxurious. External looks is also quite nice as its not too sporty and trendy looking.

    Lancer GTA is also much more expensive nowadays so I choose the Corolla.

    i guess, i've seen more new lancers than new altises on the road.

    reliability, i guess, they are at par now.

    i guess the answer would depend on the TS. try to test drive both units to see what fits you best.

    Having previously owned a '95 Lancer GLXI and an '02 Altis J A/T, I'd say go for the Altis, my previous Lancer was full of sh*t, the suspension was really crappy and the A/T tranny vibrates annoyingly, I'd have to say that my old '91 Sentra 1.6 SGX was much better than the Lancer, to think that the Sentra Series 1 or box-type didn't really had a good reputation. The Altis on the other hand was trouble free till the day I sold it.

    From my observation nowadays mas marami 2.0 lancer EX compared to 2.0 Altis. Nagkalat naman 1.6 Altis hehe.

    Why compare between 2 cars (Lancer itlog and Lancer EX) which are more than 10 years apart? And why even compare Altis 02 to Lancer 95, Mitsubishi has gone leaps and bounds since then. Dont get me wrong and i agree on most part of what u said, we have a Lancer 94 GLXi and i admit the A/T was troublesome and had to replace with a surplus one.
    But comparing it to a much newer car, it doesn't give justice to the newer one.

    My Vote goes to Lancer EX, new on everything! designs, engine, suspension.

    the Altis 09 and 02, in my view is the same, Same engine (i think its the still VVTi), same stance, almost same design with previous. One thing new is the 5-spoke wheel. People generally buy this for Toyota reliability and availibility. Which i must is very true..
