lancer itlog or nissan ss series3

[carlo0126]

mga bosing opinion lang po regarding sa mitsu lancer itlog (GLI / GLXI) at nissan sentra ss series 3. ano po ba ang mas praktikal bilin since di naman nagkakalayo price nila..mga '96up model po sana kasi target ko. mga cons and pros po..

thanks and god bless.

if 96 get a Nissan Sentra Series III SE.

edge over the Lancer GLXi/GLi

-timing chain
-power folding side mirror
-power antenna
-newer design (introduced 95 while the itlog was way back 93)
-the DOHC engine of Sentra is more flexible and torquier from my experience.

if 97, get the Nissan Sentra SS if not the Super Touring

-Driver's Airbag foregoing the ABS of the SE which is a 96 only model
-bodykits
-foglights

Brother Basti is right...assuming both are well maintained ha, although Lancer GLXI is one heck of a realiable car too with good handling ha... medyo nilamangan sya ng b14/ser.3 ng konti. Try getting a super touring in good condition, mas pogi na kc ito (lalo na yung dark blue!).. medyo limited lang nga 'to sa market. A relative sa buy n sell says he seldom has this unit available, Pro hu knows baka makaisa ka. ;) Yung issue about d piyesa prices being higher than the mitsu lancer and other car brands r over rated. Believe me coz I run errands to banawe to buy parts to our current backyard boarders a nissan, n' toyota, back then my mitsu din. Pero both cars in ur option are nice, mga matatag na yan sa market and both ay masarap pormahan.. err.. just don't do an evo luk on the lancer if ever kukuha ka ng kits sa kanto kanto lang, man! those r crappy looking! halos di mo na mabasa yung "evolution III" sa dami ng alon, "ebolok" ang mangayayari sa iyo.

hehehe, nakalimutan ko yung 96 SE Saloon has 4wheel disc brakes and 4channel ABS pa pala.

lancer itlog or nissan ss series3?

sa Nissan Sentra na ,masarap din pormahan ito

[jeff]

magkano price range nung dalawa?

[carlo0126]

alam ko sir me makukuha ka na sa 150-160t...

di ba mas maganda itlog pag naka porma?

IMO lancer GLXi 96 itlog is about 150-170 depending on the condition of the car. I initially considered buying a Nissan Sentra Super Touring 1997 model (but i ended up with a mitsu lancer 1997 GLXi pizza type) with a price range of 185k but the 1996 model of S3 is I think about 130-150k again depending on the condition..I think the price also varies depending on the city/province..its a little bit cheaper there in Manila than here in Baguio..

tough choice.

ok pareho e. pero im inclined sa mitsu lalo kapag gagawing euro look- grills, rear foglight, rear windshield wipers/defogger. ganda! remember, this model has a al independent, multi-link suspension.

for series 3, ok din yung mga amenities. lalong maganda yan kapag naka- 17's. yoko lang dito e yung multi-link semi independent beams.

but it all boils down to your choice.

Nissan S3, hands down!

Sagwa ng interior ng Lancer itlog (my brother owns one & I get to drive a company owned GLXi occasionally), parang crappy yung lay-out, at chipipay yung dating.

Also, Nissan's AC is superior, you will appreciate during hot days.

Go Sentra!

P.S. I own one, kaya biased! hehehe

diba pasok na rin ang ae101 and eg civic sa 160t na budget?

Yup, you can buy early models of these cars at that range, but let's stick to the buyer's choices.

Personally, I like the Lancer better. For me, it looks meaner and I think it uses less fuel than the Sentra. What I don't like about it though is that it's not quite as quick as the other 1.6 cars in stock form. But as always, the Nissan is what your wallet will want. You get a younger car at the same price as its top rivals. The DOHC engine is willing. Acceleration can almost equal a Corolla or Civic, but I'm not sure if it can get past 180 km/h. And features galore makes this car worth considering. Its only major downside is subpar interior quality. My friend's 95 Series 3 already has detached sun visors, and the dashboard is more Korean than Japanese.

If you're leaning towards the Sentra, I hope you chance upon the GT-S model, which is more like the ST's successor. No need to buy additional kits.

That seems more like a matter related to how your friend may be taking care of his car. We've owned two of those models and still have an even older one in our garage being used as a daily rundabout and nothing is wrong with the interior nor it's quality (despite being parked under the sun during the day).

The GLX Lancer looks great when fixed up (love the Euro versions); problems on both cars will be that typical to any ageing EFI, usually with the idling (check the servos, MAF, etc.). Suspension parts are okay but i generally noticed more kalampag with the Mitsu suspensions and some glitches with it's electicals. On the power side, the Sentra has an edge (this is not a biased opinion on a stock-to-stock engine).

At the end of the day, try them out, take your time and look around before decidinig. Maraming choices out there.

hindi pa ba pasok sa budget niya yung lancer na pizza?

[wakin]

i'd say go for sentra! yun lang..nasabi na nila eh.

[1D4LV]

Bro Squal, Lancer's resale value is at par if not even lower than a Sentra...a relative is involved in buy n' sell buss. kc, actually thats how we disposed of our GLXI years ago, "best" price was lower than most sentra in my relative's shop.. Acceleration, yep it's known that in d 90's sentras r 1 of the better cars in terms of acceleration as compared to other rivals such as corollas, lalo na lancer.. I curr. use a nice GLI rolla n' ECCS sen kc in everyday driving, I feel it's better accel. b4 nahihiram ko lancer until binenta.. missed d car. And by d way It's a fact that most jap cars r restricted to 180km/hr or 112 mph lalo na pag 1.6. Pero when u tune ur car or driving fast on a dowhill every 1.6 are capable of exceeding 180km/hr. ;)
Pro bottom line its up 2 d owner, and I reiterate both r great. GTS best choice pro price range would be in a diff. bracket na.. yung Super Touring mas lapit pa sa orig. price range choice mo of that includes GLXI n' SE Saloon.

[carlo0126]

mga boss clarification lang po,
un po bang super touring ay upgraded na ss series3
at ung GTS ay upgraded ss series 4?
or different models talaga sila?

pls correct me if im wrong
thanks

[vinj]

Yup, aesthetic upgrades... same platform and engine/suspension specs.
