Mitsubishi EX 1.6 AT vs Hyunadai Elantra 1.6 AT

[ghosthunter]

A lot of Lancer supporters in this forum, yet all the online rave hasn't really translated into stellar sales.

Perfect choice if you want a really nice car at great affordable price yet not as common as ants (as compared to Civics and Corollas).

Offhand from what I encounter every day, yes. More U** plate Elantras than Lancers. I don't consider the T** plate Elantras since those were sold alongside the pure 2-liter lineup of the Lancer.

Yup, and according to the Mitsu executives, they underestimated the demand for the Lancer EX 1.6 during their first order, hence delays for some buyers for certain colors like white.

Hmm parang madalas available yung white and silver, yung black and red and matumal ang dating e. Hanggang ngayon waiting pa din ako sa Red.

OT: Weird that they classify the Rio as a compact and not a subcompact

Sayang talaga yung mga 2.0 na lancer matipid naman, marketing move lang talaga kaya naglabas ng 1.6, most pinoys think 2 liter cars are thirsty...pero honestly sa segment na to basic no frills talaga gusto ng mga tao hence the toyota...
