Lancer EX 1.6 AT glx vs Ford fiesta 1.6 AT sedan

[chloeqtpy]

hi guys,

which among the 2 cars is the best for a newbie with 3 kids? Fuel consumption, maintenance wise?

thanks for your advise.

3 kids, i think you need a bigger space. although the fiesta can, baka it may not be that comfortable.... and considering how kids grow up so fast, baka mabilis makalakihan yung oto.

i would go for the lancer to answer your space and maintenance requirements. although the fiesta is better FC-wise.

hth.

You'll get a bit more interior space with the Lancer EX GLX 1.6L

FC of the Lancer EX GLX 1.6L still a question mark for me... I'll find out first hand next week.

speaking from experience... your 3 kids will become little elephants so fast, you'd swear metal shrinks.
my recommendation is to get the biggest vehicle you are willing to afford. why not an AUV? adventure, crosswind, even innova. even seconds aren't so bad.. reliability and ease of maintenance are their hallmarks..

I come from a family of 3 kids, and sedans have always sufficed for us. Unless you're always bringing all 3 kids + yayas on board, there's nothing wrong with just a sedan.

I hate the Fiesta sedan's looks (ugliest sedan in the market if you ask me), so I'd vote for the Lancer EX on this one. I don't like its looks either, but it's the lesser of the two evils. More spacious too.

I'd look at the Accent 1.6 GLS Blue or the Jazz 1.5V if I were in your shoes. These are among the most spacious of all subcompacts and are feature-packed. But then, bigger compacts such as the Corolla Altis 1.6G and Elantra 1.6GL are in the same price range as well.

Of course, if you think you're gonna need space, there's the Avanza 1.5G, as well as the base model Grand Livina and Innova 2.5J, though the latter two come only in MT form.

The compacts would have better fuel consumption than the MPVs, but the Innova, being a diesel, would go the farthest for every peso you spend.

since you have limited your choice between the two, i'll go with the lancer since it spacious and I've read that the new lancer eats about 19km/liter on an ave speed of 90km. HTH

Grand Livina for the space. But the FC on the matic variant kinda sucks.

where this FC figure can be found sir.

19 km/L? Sure, if it's on a straight highway road at constant speed with just 1 passenger on board and no traffic.

It's just not realistic to expect 19 km/L on normal driving in a car with a 1.6L engine that only has a 4-speed auto and weighs 1235 kg.

In reality, you're looking at 8-10 km/L in the city and about 12-15 km/L on the highway.
