Lancer EX MX 1.6 vs Civic 1.8s vs Altis 1.6G

Can you guys help me decide which one is best?

At first, gusto ko yung Civic. This was my first choice talaga, but then ang dami nagsasabi na di raw maganda exterior. And naniwala naman ako, pero gusto ko talaga yung interior ng civic. Now, parang I'm leaning na sa Lancer kasi ang ganda ng exterior kaso ayaw ko naman nung interior. Yung altis naman, so so lang para sa akin yung interior and exterior. Ang hirap mag decide so I decided to get inputs from you guys. Actually gusto ko rin City sana kaso I want a larger car so out of my choices na. Anyway, I had 4 lancers na before (singkit, hotdog, pizza, extended bumper na pizza).. Gusto ko sana maiba naman ng brand pero parang mapapalancer na naman ata ako.. Thanks in advance.

Bale these are my main choosing factors:
1. Car features (like mga toys sa loob)
2. Resale value
3. Maganda pormahan (e.g. body kits)

The Civic looks nice with 18's or 19's if you ask me.

Civic with decent 17s and a modulo kit (The grill is important!) & ducktail is IMO a good balance. Hindi masyadong boy-racer, pero hindi rin masyadong pang matanda.

Plus more toys in the Civic ata.

kung mag papabodykit karin lang naman, mag civic ka na kaysa mag lancer ka tapos maainis ka naman sa interior mo.

or mag Lancer GT-A ka na lang. Wala ka ng kailangan ayusin. hahahaha

Waahh so kung kahapon parang lancer na.. Ngayon prang gusto ko na ulit civic..hehe Guys ok ba sales ng new civic ngayon? Do you think its low sales today (low nga ba?) will have an effect on its resale maybe after 5 years?

1.8L versus two 1.6L's? Syempre sa Civic na ako. Its actually quite successful in the Philippine market. Besides, sa loob ka naman uupo at hindi sa labas kaya mas importante ang interior kesa sa exterior. In terms of resale value naman, Civic at Altis panalo. Medyo mababa resale ng Lancer.

Lahat naman sila maganda pormahan. The Civic and Lancer's a given but the Altis looks surpisingly good with a body kit especially with the 2.0's mesh grille.

Sir gta you have a point. Di nga naman ako uupo sa labas. Haha.

Anyway kung civic na naka modulo, which color is best? Yung mas sporty na di mukhang pang d.o.m. hehe.. White, black, urban titanium?

This is also my situation last year, although ang choices ko are TOTL Lancer EX vs Civic.

On your situation, it's either you upgrade the interior (Lancer) or upgrade the exterior (Civic). Anyway, I don't like the rear design of the Civic. Unlike its predecessor, it have an ugly butt. Even if you put bodykits, it will not suffice to my expectations. It is designed to be a family sedan rather than a sports type of vehicle. Sa US, they already released the facelifted version and we are not sure baka biglang dalhin din dito sa Asia Pacific yang facelifted design. If ever you really want a Honda, you can check with HCPI kung anong plans nila sa facelifted version. Kung ok ka na sa current design, get the Japan CBU instead of the units from Thailand.

Also, add to your choices the Elantra 1.8 GLS trim but as far as I know, matagal ang waiting sa variant na to.

For the Civic, I'd prefer white. Its too small to look striking in black. And IMHO titanium doesn't look sporty at all.
