    the lancer el variant still uses a carburetor if i'm not mistaken. aside from the above, di pa rin sya naka-mag wheels. although the later entry level ones were rebadged as "EX" models, may power steering na yun

    97 "PIZZA" Lancers EL is different from the Lancer EX which although has a power steering, still uses the old itlog body lancers.


    93-96Lancer itlog (97-98 Lancer EX)


    97-02Lancer pizza

    just think of it as the Sentra Series3 B14(95-97) and LEC PS which used the older B13 body(96-98).

    anyway, EL and EX both still uses a 1.3L 12v carb engine. i like the handling of Lancers though very tossable, it feels as if it hugs the road.
    btw, it should return with a fuel economy close to that of Corolla XL & XE.
    also the Lancer has a lot of aftermarket parts and accesories (JDM, EURO, EVO look et al).

    ang huling itlog eh, imho, lumabas ng 1996, although may mga variants na lumabas pa ng 1997. eto yung mga models ng 1996 na hindi nabili.

    bagong hilamos pa.
    pero mataas na mileage, 160k.
    pero still running perfectly fine. and la naman kalampag gano. and aircon was fine.

    To the TS, just go for the Sentra, mahina talaga pangilalim ng Lancer, used to have a 91' Sentra boxtype then replaced it with a 95' Lancer GLXI (itlog), mas sumakit pa ulo ko sa Lancer kahit 60k pa lang ang mileage nung makuha ko as compared to my sentra which already had 200k mileage when I got it. Di ko alam kung malas lang kami pero mga naging Mitsu namin puro sirain except for the Lancer box type we had during the 80's yun lang ang ok na mitsu na nabili namin. Kaya para sa akin mas ok pa Nissan kahit marami nagsasabi na pangit ang Nissan.
