As of now mukhang my vote goes with the Lancer na. I've been seeing more and more Lancer units on the road and the "Bakit kaya konti lang nakikita ko? Something must be kinda wrong" feeling is subsiding. I guess the only thing left to be decided on is the color. My dad wants black, My mom wants white or silver, but I want the gunmetal gray mica. I know black and white are hard to maintain but I really hope the gray isn't. Any owner's feedback? Thanks!
Few reasons:
-for the past couple of years the best value for money cars were either the Corolla Altis or the Honda Civic.
-Lancers were a little expensive... especially for the newer EX models.
-many people buy with the idea of resale value hence the preference of toyota or honda cars.


BTW one last question, mga ilang buwan kaya bago magkaroon ng plate? And is it true na may coding din yung wala pang plaka, but it's based on the last digit of the conduction sticker? Thanks!
Yes, traffic coding based on the last number of your car's conduction sticker.

Remember to bring a "fresh" car invoice/O.R. when your plates has not arrived yet.

For my car (a Lancer EX purchased in Feb 2010), it took nearly two months for my plates & stickers to arrive.
