better go for mazda glxi, mas newer kc 1997 model unlike mitsu lancer na 1994. beside sa age maganda din ang dating ng mazda glxi mas maganda pormahan. and I heard from some mazda glxi users maganda ang drive nito. better check the condition of the cars first.
if M/T go for the mazda. with ABS na and a torquey engine.handling is very good, almost no understeer. plus its newer (assuming almost same condition sila ng lancer). watch out for the rust at the rear fenders.
if A/T, drop them both and look at other cars pa. A/T na mazda is malakas sa gas. A/T ng mitsu at that age, medyo mahirap na mag-take ng chance.
parts for the mazda, i would say average lang naman ang price.
