Cruze LS AT 1.8 vs Focus Trend 1.6 AT vs Lancer EX MX 1.6 AT

[LucasVN]

Guys,

Among the three, ano piliin nyo?

1. Fuel Efficiency (I know 1.8 vs 1.6, but focus vs lancer?)
2. Maintenance Cost
3. Interior Space / Quality / Tools
4. Resale

These 3 cars belong also to my choices... I don't like to spoil the thread but how about if Elantra added to the choices?

1. Fuel Efficiency (I know 1.8 vs 1.6, but focus vs lancer?)

The 1.8L engine will consume fuel like a 1.8L engine, no matter what BS the sales agent tells you. So many people got screwed when they bought the Civic 1.8L when they believed the marketing BS stating that "the Civic 1.8L has the power of a 2.0L with the fuel economy of a 1.6L".

Syempre power to weight ratio would be an issue parang malaki ung lancer para maging 1.6 baka mahirapan at mag consume ng mas madaming gas kasi mabigat. Pero syempre sa kung traffic syempre lamang 1.6.
Pero sa mga choices ill go for the lancer.

The Lancer EX 1.6L weighs around the same as Corollas and Civics.

Thanks sa mga replies, malaki b a difference ng 1.6 vs 1.8 sa gas consumption? This will be daily Pque to Makati. For example, if same lahat (traffic, driving style), ilang km/l kaya difference? ang mitsu ba every 5K maintenace or same with chevy na 10k?

Ung civic ko almost at par sa sa 1.6 na altis ko given the same situation. Wag mo lang i floor down mas malakas talaga ung civic. I dont know aboit the chevy cruze though

Looks like we will go to Lancer EX MX AT, hopefully next week, and as per CASA na natanungan ko, available right now is White and my wife surprisingly who will use this daily, changed her color preference to White as her first choice, her current car is Silver, and walang Gray which she really want, I've seen white na lancer but mostly GT-A, is the white of MX the same with GT-A? Hirap ba talaga maintain ang white? This will be our first white, and we previously owned black, which I think is the hardest to maintain.. same lang ba sya sa white?
