Mitsubishi Lancer 1.6 EX GLX MT OR Toyota Vios 1.3 G AT

[JohnM]

The G is around 820 so I guess that's the fairer comp.

I have a Vios but if I had the moolah to choose I'd get the Lancer

[vinj]

That was my budget for a car (800K) and i got the Corolla 1.6E m/t. :D (806K less 20K that time)... of course not as much extras as the Lancer but i prefer 6-speeds and needed more trunk space for my needs.

On Vios versus Lancer... Lancer for me.

One thing I really hate about the Vios is the seating position. It took me a long time to get used to it. It's able to swallow 5 hefty adults plus two grade-school kids (and two big maletas) without bottoming out though

+1. Got used to it too.

And then I really got to appreciate the comfy-ness of a Benz seat ..

lancer for me. wala ka dapat ikatakot sa reliability ng mitsubishi. for me halos same lang sila ng toyota

My friend was telling me kasi bec there are few units of Lancer relative to Civic and Altis, shops won't stock up on parts for Lancers. And few surplus din. Also he said the resale value of the Lancer EX is really low, though it doesn't matter to me since I plan to keep the car for a long time.

BTW the sales agent from Mitsubishi owns a Vios. How ironic. hehe. What is it about the seating position of the Vios? The center thingie is so awkward for me lang talaga. It gets me dizzy.

since lumabas yung 1.6 lancer ex lumakas ang benta. dati kasi 2.0 lang ang ex. kaya dumadami na sa kalsada. i think 5-10 years marami nang parts. resale value mas mataas yan compared hyundai, kia, ford, chevy, mazda, nissan. pero mas mataas pa rin ang toyota, honda

baka kulang sa budget yung SA ng mitsu. kakalabas lang ng mirage e. haha

Isn't it a good thing na konti lang kayong naka-Lancer sa daan kumpara sa kahit san ka lumingon eh makita mo kapareho ng sasakyan mo? Sakin kasi ok yun eh. :-) But anyway, I think yung sinasabing Lancer EX na konti lang eh yung wala pa sigurong 1.6 na variant, pero ngayon nung lumabas yan an dami ko ng nakikitang EX sa daan, kadalasan 1.6. The same goes to the SA na naka Vios, baka kasi wala pang 1.6 ang EX nung binili niya Vios niya. Kasi nung kinuha ko Lancer EX ko may mga nakapark na EX sa labas puro SA din ang may-ari.

Yung friend ko naka Vios mga 2 mos ahead lang siya nung binili ko yung EX ko, d-nrive niya yung EX ko nung nagkita kame at chineck lahat pati features ang kinabagsakan, nagsisi siya sa Vios niya. Dapat daw pla nag EX na din siya.

Hindi ko sure about sa resale value pero siguro naman hindi kababaan to kumpara mo sa Hyundai, Ford at Chevy. Matipid din naman sa gas to although may tendency na bumigat paa mo kasi ang sarap idrive hehe Fuel efficient pero pag kinailangan ang power, maasahan mo.

Isa pang magiging problema mo kung may plano kang bihisan to since 5 yrs mong gagamitin, eh sasakit ang ulo mo! Yan ang problema ko ngayon eh kung ano uunahin ko sa daming pwedeng gawin, so ang kinabagsakan, wala pa akong nasisimulan hehehe

Yun lang talaga maliit trunk, but I dont care, an laki naman ng loob. Masarap tulog ng mga pasahero ko dito nakaslouch pa sila. :-) Sa Vios sobra akong nasisikipan.

The resale of Lancer EX has been quite okay. And it is hard to say with the resale value of the newer Lancer EX 1.6L which is experiencing a high demand.

Lancer na sir! Idedeliver sa friday yung akin. Im so excited. :D pagsisisihan mo pagnagvios ka. Yes its more reliable and practical. Pero walang fun factor and im sure iba yung ngiti mo paglancer kotse mo. Tsaka you want it. So go for it!
