    If you had to choose between an old school Boxtype or a 1st gen (Bar or L-type) coupe which would you select for a car to play and drive around the metro in. Why?

    Am contemplating between both Japanese cars for a coding vehicle.

    Am starting to realize that maybe it is not bad to keep the 86 GT box instead of unloading to get a 1st gen?

    The box type Lancer was selling like hot cakes during 82 to 87, sure wish they had power steering back in those days. Easy to maintain and can carry mods too.

    I would choose the box type vs the l-type Lancer.

    Chief, my absolute pick is the Box Type. Had one before and its so reliable and easy to maintain. By the way, my other or next pick would be the:

    2. Colt Galant
    3. Celeste
    4. Bow Type Galant
    5. Colt

    (Obvious Mitsu Lover yata?)

    I'd get the L-type Lancer anyday. Better handling car and it's small enough to squeeze in small parking spaces. Our family had one and it was a hoot to drive.

    box type yan ang sedan na sporty but if you want more retro and sporty look go for L type or bar type coupe at sa patibayan matibay ito sa lahat ng lancer.

    I would surely get the box type because there are still a lot of drivers who use this type of Lancer. Probably, a lot of parts are still available for this type of model.

    Another nostalgia for me.



    This 80s car is what the Corolla is in the early 1990s.

Which Old School Lancer do you prefer to drive?
