    no idea pa tlaga.
    need all the advice and comments that u can give..

    Pros and cons ng:
    Nissan Sentra
    Mitsubishi Lancer

    Budget ko 200-230k..
    Automatic hanap ko.. 2000 model and Up po..

    For your budget pasok ang early 2000s X-plate Sentra Exalta and Cedia Lancer na 1.6L A/T. The Lancer is sportier while the Sentra is more luxurious. Normally, a male buyer would pick the Lancer and a female buyer would pick the Sentra. Tingnan mo ng maigi inside and out as to which one you prefer. Although if you ask me, mas gusto ko talaga ang design ng Lancer inside and out. Engines for both are pretty similar in terms of power, though the Sentra should be the more refined between the two as it has the newer engine. The Sentra is also more feature packed (4 wheel disc brakes with ABS/EBD, dual airbags, automatic climate control, leather seats, etc, etc...). For you I'd recommend the Sentra over the Lancer, but if you plan to sell it again anytime soon, it is worth noting that Nissans do not have good resale values.

    Toyota car? Hindi pa kasi papasok sa budget mo ang Altis eh. Pasok sa budget mo late 90s to early 2000s "Lovelife" Corolla. Boring...

    Either GLS or MX kunin mo sa Lancer. Pero mas maganda kung MX.

    Huwag yung GLX, karburador pa yun.

    Ah yes. Nakita ko ngayon lang. If you can find an A/T Altis that will fit your budget, even better. Takot lang kasi ako baka kapag sobrang mura ang Altis, baka naman laspag na. Kung meron mang Altis na nas low 200+k siguradong low end variant yan so lalabas mas maraming features makukuha mo sa Sentra, although mas spacious ng konti ang Altis sa Sentra. And you can get a newer Sentra as compared to an Altis. Sa Altis kapag A/T tiyak na 2001 lang makukuha mo, while sa Sentra abot 2003 or even 2004.

    i have a 2003 cedia lancer mx. it gargles gas like a crv. but i love its looks, and i feel so comfortable inside, it seems it was tailor-made for me. i also have a basic 97 sentra. and i feel the engineering difference every time.. while the cedia insulates, the sentra transmits..

    Gargles gas like a CRV? Eh di nasa mga 6km/L? Katakot naman niyan, CVT ba sayo bro? 1.6 or 1.8?

pls HELP: 200-230k budget Nissan Sentra / Mistubishi Lancer
