Mitsubishi EX 1.6 AT vs Hyunadai Elantra 1.6 AT

[ghosthunter]

It's relatively new pa pala in the market.

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.

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...

Even if the old 2.0 + CVT is frugal for its displacement and power, it's still thirstier than the new 1.6 on an objective level. For the majority of people anyway, the extra 40 horsepower doesn't matter much, especially when the car will be subjected to mostly urban use.

For those willing to trade a few km/L for performance, there's the Elantra 1.8 GLS and the bare Civic 1.8S, both under 1M. I think a zippy 1.8 is a good compromise since it's almost as fast as the 2-liter bunch (usually with less low-end grunt though) yet is just as fuel efficient as the 1.6 liter engines a decade ago.

GLX M/T sir. I still like the old school manual style of driving. Feeling ko kasi mas less ang control ko sa A/T.. but that's just me. :D
Also, wala din kasi m/t yung MX variant..
