    Since both are more than 10 yrs old, mas madali ang spare parts ng Corolla.

    i'll go for corolla. dami pang available parts at mas mura. naka dalawang lancer na kami ('87 at '89 model) at hindi ko nga nagustuhan ang suspension unlike the corolla.

    erm, the lancer's spare parts are also relatively easy to find.

    at once mapaltan mo na ang pang-ilalim, ok na ulit. i assume na laspag na pareho pang-ilalim nyan. both are more than 10 year old cars.

    yan yung ginawa kong repairs sa pizza ko. 155K KM and still going strong. la pang problema sa makina whatsoever (alaga to sa tune-up)

    lancer kukunin ko, mas bago ng 3 taon yun hehe.

    I presume that's the egg EL you're talking about. If it is, I'd get the nod on this one. It has a mean-looking fascia and I like its interior better than the EE90 XL5. If it were the EE100 (93-97) Corolla, I'd pick that most definitely. Your choices are pretty much equal in spec. Many think that the Corolla's suspension is sturdier, but the Lancer is a few years younger. Just prepare around 10-15K for a full underchassis repair at Cruven (shocks, tie rods, ball joints, rack ends and bushings) and engine tune-up (new oil, spark plugs and other parts and adjustments). You shouldn't go wrong with either car.

    go for the Lancer ayos na ayos ang dating, parang old look ang corolla. my 2 cents.

    I'd go for the lancer too. I like the looks better. Kung matanda na rin naman yung auto Im quite sure may mga papalitan ka rin talaga. Oks naman ang Mitsu eh. But you drive 'em both and feel what makes your heart jump!

    Mahina ba ang suspension ng Lancer o stiff lang? Yung Lancer itlog ng sis ko kinakargahan ng isang kaban ng bigas plus limang tao kayang-kaya eh hindi masyadong bagsak ng puwitan unlike sa corolla magsakay lang ng limang tao bagsak na bagsak na.

    I vote for Lancer

    kung stock lang tapos itlog yung lancer... and no plans in the near future for mods... i'll choose the lancer. mas modelo ang itsura. mags pa lang, pwede na maging maganda tindig nya.

    pero yung corolla kasi has lots of goodies e. daming choices for body parts (fx look, sprinter look, wagon face, etc etc.). dami ring choices ng engine in case you want to change your engine, from same displacement with bigger power output (1.3L 4efte - turbo na to) to 4AGE na 1.6L to 2.0 3SGTE.

    sa lancer kasi option mo lang ata e 4G63T... 2.0 litros agad yun.

    1.6 4g92 dohc mivec or 1.8 4g93 sohc pwede na rin. There are other engine options like the 1.8 turbo or the V6s but medyo rare na 'to. May mga turbo 1.5 and 1.6 itlogs na rin so no worries about performance.

    Spare parts can be found almost anywhere din. 555 for suspension, KYB for shocks, JAC for engine supports, etc.

    Sa looks dept pwede JDM with fogs, Libero wagon with/without fogs, USDM extended bumpers, Evo-look, etc.

    Ok din ang rustproofing ng itlog.
