Lancer Cedia GLX or Vios 1.3J

[tidus1203]

Another issue with Lancers against Altis and Civics was percieved quality and durability... Yung mga Pizza Pie kasi dati kalampagin yung suspension... May mga tao na ayaw na sa Mitsubishi and alam mo naman sa car industry things like that can stin you for a long time...

IMO, hindi masyado maganda ang grey. Not that appealing kumbaga.

Black or white is the best color for the Lancer, IMO.

And yes ... you're right. Kahit na wala kang plaka, may coding pa rin.

Pero heck who cares ... wala naman nanghuhuli ng ganyan eh., wag lang sa makati. hahaha

Gusto ko rin yung white kaso lang kailangan matiyaga sa paglinis. And matiyaga is soooo not me.

I shall connive with my mom about the color choice though. Majority wins. XD

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.




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.

We don't exactly care about the resale value naman eh, medyo matagal pa siguro bago namin ito ibenta. Kaya ayun.

Thanks for the info

Thanks for the info din. Hindi naman MASYADONG choosy ang family namin sa brand except that my parents are both allergic to anything Korean and Nissan. Gusto ko nga rin sana na iconsider nila yung Accent but yeah. :|

Isa ako sa mga dalang-dala na sa Mitsu, after our 95' GLXI (itlog) and 94' L300 Versa Van na puro sakit ng ulo ang inabot namin, were convinced that were NEVER gonna buy another Mitsu (although muntik na akong kumuha ng Montero Sport).

Ako naman sa Hyundai at Honda nadala late 90's Grace,at 99 civic(kalapmpagin at sira lagi ang door locks), so far 78 galant,83 galant,89 galant SS, Pajero 03, lancer EX 08 lahat ng mitsu na dumaan sa buhay ko puro OK, isama mo pa pala yung 96 L300 ko na workhorse

yung heart ni TS clearly says they should buy the Lancer. yung mind, parang 50-50 pa rin, pero yung Lancer ang nakakalamang na.

go for the lancer.

Latest update: Mom wants to consider the City kahit 36k over budget. A variant. Any feedback?

Chikselog: Bihira lang naman na loaded and maraming sakay. And yes, mostly city driving. What about the Vios against the City?

GTi: Yung GLX kukunin namin if ever Lancer, pero ayun nga, yun rin ang reasonig ng dad ko, sa features (safety and convenience)

dale323: I noticed medyo high-maintenance din yata yung gray. I also don't like white or black dahil ang hirap imaintain. Siguro silver na lang talaga kang magiging color ng car namin kasi tamad ako (at yung dad ko) maglinis.

p_borj: Before the City was presented for consideration, yes that's exactly the case. Ngayong gusto na rin ng mom ko yung City, my heart wants it (BADLY) but it seems that the Vios is the most practical. *-)

[dale323]

If i were in your shoes, I will weigh it with (a) what my heart wants and (b) what gets more features. its 70% A and 30% B.

GLX lancer doesn't have ABS (dual disc brakes but no ABS) but has dual airbags, it also has security alarm; City A has ABS but no Airbags, and also no security alarm; Vios J has single airbag but no ABS and security alarm. I'd go with City A on this, but if you factor in the Vios E, wherein they give discounts now which would just be exactly at your budget, you'd now have ABS, single airbag, plus security alarm. So I might go with Vios E in this case.

Sa convenience, I'd say Toyota parin.

Before the City was presented for consideration, yes that's exactly the case. Ngayong gusto na rin ng mom ko yung City, my heart wants it (BADLY) but it seems that the Vios is the most practical. *-)

If it were me, my heart also goes to the City A over Vios J/E. I had the same dilemma when I was choosing my 1st car. My heart wanted a Jazz iDSI CVT before, I could've stretched my budget if I wanted, but practicality took over and I settled for a Vios E (P100k difference at that time).

Now, I am entitled to get a new car already, so I was kinda glad I didn't spend all that money because I can get a better car now. And after hearing the CVT woes of that model, I was sure glad that I really bought the "right car" for me, even if it was not the car that my heart really wanted.

So it depends on your preferences really, ano ba talaga mas importante sayo. But no matter what you choose, the car you will be buying is the best for your needs naman at the end of the day and I know you will be happy with your purchase.

dale323: I want the City but practicality screams LANCER. My mom's after resale value and that's why she's willing to go a bit over budget just for a Honda City. I like it for its looks kahit A variant siya, and hey it's a Honda! XD

homer jay: Thanks for the inputs. We aren't really considering the Vios E kasi it's basically an aesthetically pleasing verson of the J for 80+k more. I'm also kinda wondering why my mom's considering the City A but hey it's a Honda City so YES YES PLEASE. It all boils down to what our mood is on the day we finalize the deal, but my heart and my eyes are still set on the City.

City 1.3S :D

Chikselog: Bihira lang naman na loaded and maraming sakay. And yes, mostly city driving. What about the Vios against the City?

Medyo OT: I think they're the same. Although some say na mas maganda raw response ng engine ng City kapag high speeds, while mas maganda raw low-end torque ng Vios. 85hp lang ang 1.3 Vios btw, while 100hp ang 1.3 City.

Pero, kapag sa features, itsura ng interior and exterior, City ako, hehe.
