Looks better. Drives better. Goes faster. More spacious.
Not as comfortable as the Cruze, but not bad.
I initially had a soft spot for the Cruze, going the Altis' comfort route but having a good handling chassis. Then I realized the gravity of how poorly matched the engine and transmission are to the heavy body. It's much slower than it seems and it's a deal breaker for me.
Lancer GTA... If it was a lower variant baka mapaisip pa ako sa Cruze pero hindi... Pero kapag 2.0VGT diesel engine na Cruze... eh di ibang usapan na yan. Mas nagagandahan talaga ako sa Cruze.
at this price range, only the lancer gta and ford focus tdci are worth mentioning for me...
gas... gta
disel... focus
the cruze has some serious weight issues... need to cut some weight... like me.... hehe... but the exterior is really, really nice... went to a chevy dealer a few weeks ago and the dark gray/gun metal cruze is really really stunning... ganda...
interior design: cruze
sound system: lancer (rockford!)

exterior design: LANCER (slightly a hard decision, cruze is awesome too since cruze is new)
toy in the future: lancer
interior space: cruze
comfort: cruze
a/c: ... (but i'll go for the cruze)

i was recently planning to buy a cruze for my wife but after reading and doing some research especially about the after sales service, it made me decide not to get one any more. so lancer gta is my vote on this one.
