Lancer EL or Corolla XL (itlog or Bigbody)

[acenie]

ano mas ok for daily use? handling, maintenance,fuel efficient, Engine

[funky_monkey]

corolla for all the right reasons:

durability, parts, size, affordability, looks, performance

[1D4LV]

both cars are almost the same in terms of performance, engine, maintenance, fuel efficiency, etc.

magkakatalo na lang sya sa durability, resale value and cosmetics.

imho.....

durability. toyota xl. although the lancer EL, can also be durable. this is the reason why they make these two cars as taxis.
resale value... almost the same.... toyota can be a slightly little bit higher.
cosmetics...mas masarap pagandahin ang lancer.

you can't go wrong with both. imo, just get that is well taken care of.

corolla for all the right reasons:

durability, parts, size, affordability, looks, performance

same with the lancer.

[basti08]

almost the same cars.

Although i like the 2E engine better than the 4G13 of the Lancer. I'd take the Lancer, i like the looks better, madali pormahan, plus i get the road hugging Multi-link rear suspension.
Also, because of host of small things like the capability to swallow a 2DIN Stereo, vinyl sidings which i prefer better than the Corolla's thinly upholstered sidings with IMO dull colors, no rear garnish to replace to make it look more upscale (unlike the AE101s) and of course, the wide range of custom bodykits available that i prefer than the Corolla's.

I drive po a corrola, 11 years na po sya and ang pinkamalaki ko lang na nagastos with its maintenance is changing the clutch pad!

[angelo_lowell]

I go for the egg.

[uwak18]

I'll get the Corolla over Lancer.

But both cars are very good and have served well over the years. Why still consider resale value for this? Are you still gonna sell this? Just pick the best condition. Keep it stock all the way. It looks better IMO.

had a lancer itlog before, and my sister had a corolla bigbody too, kung interior space paguusapan mas malaki ang loob ng itlog, as for maintenance, halos pareahs lang sila. same din laks ng aircon.

problema lang diyan, tumotope during cold starts (carb kasi) pero tiyagaan lang hanggang ma-reach ang normal engine temp.

same here.. 11 years rolla.. only the valve steam seals ang naging prob ko at nagiba lng ang ac ko kasi pina galaw ko sa outside shops na hindi kabisado..kung hindi ko nlang pina galaw yun. hehehe.. pinalitan ko nlang ng surplus from japan at subrang satisfied parin..

pero both are maganda.. dpende lng sa pag alaga ng previous owner..

[basti08]

ano po ba ang usual na problema sa 2E engine? madalas ako makakita ng bluish white smoke coming from XE/XL Corollas from 90s...

[LexTer]

base sa experience ko mas matipid ang 2E engine. toyota ako.

[ronw123w124]

I have used both the Lancer and Corolla, sa experience ko mas tipid sa gas corolla and mas matibay suspension ng corolla

[tinochio]

Mas masarap i drive ang Lancer EL kasi mas magaan siya compare to bigbody, bigbody kasi minsan nabibitin specially kapag may riders ka. pero sa comfort ng sakay malaki kasi ang loob nung boig body at ayun madali din sa parts. pero lancer madali na din naman sa parts. mas mabilis lang mag depreciate ang price ng lancer itlog

[torque2006]

the usual problem of the lancer is its suspension. madali talaga masira.

basti: on the corollas, it's poor maintenance, or the engines are just too old - blow by na siguro yun. 10+ years na ren yung models na ito.

performance wise, parehas lang yan. kaya nung time nila sila ang "people's car".

swerte ako sa lancer 93 gli ko. 14 years na, 140k pa lang tinatakbo. very fresh pa ang engine.

[finchy18]

pero depende parin yan sa previous owner na bibilhan..

Carb cleaning and sakton A/F mixture lng ang kailangan ingantan sa corolla para maganda ang takbo.. still having the OLD all stock including the suspension of my corolla.. more passengers mas more comfy the ride
