Your Thoughts on Lancer EX 2.0 GLS CVT

[mtbjr]

We're planning to buy our first family car this year sa installment lang for 5 years, nasa below 1M ang price ng car dapat. I don't know anything about vehicles, mag-enroll pa nga ako sa driving school.

I'm leaning towards Lancer EX 2.0 GLS CVT because of its good looks at 2.0 na ang engine, pero marami na akong nababasa na turn-off daw talaga ang interior nito. Ang nakikita ko lang in personal ay yung display ng GT-A sa may Trinoma pag nagpupunta kami. Sa website ay halos similar lang sila sa exterior, nahihiya pa akong magpunta sa mga showroom.

Ayon sa mga comments dito mas maganda raw ang Altis or Civic sa price range na ganito. Thanks in advance your expert advise.

I would go for the Lancer because of its style and performance.

Pero sir, kung newbie driver ka palang, hmm, dapat yata mag-vios ka nalang muna hehehe.

Ayoko at mukhang taxi ang Vios...

Sir, thanks for your input; 2 sa mga kasamahan ko sa work ay Vios, isa ay Mazda 3, at isa naman ay Innova. AKo na lang ang walang wheels sa group namin. Gusto ko ay maiba naman sa kanila at mas maporma kasi ang Lancer. Baka gamitin namin ito ng misis ko na pamasok sa work, from Marikina to Makati.

very true.. sa amin nga, yung mga tao sa company namin puro naka-vios (medrep) kaya pag naka-vios ka, akalain eh company car lang hahaha. pero alam mo boss, kung kunwari karerahan kayo, sure ball winner ka na kapag Lancer EX ang wheels mo hehe.

one thing sir, malakas nga lang sa gasolina yan ha hehe. kung gusto mo ng mas matipid ng kaunti and mas mura, get the Lancer 1.6 old body.

OT: Trinoma Land Mark ba yung Lancer na nakikita mo? yung red hehe?

Opo sir, yung sa left side ng Landmark grocery, meron ding black sa tabi ng Wendy's sa foodcourt sa right side naman ng grocery.

kung sa porma at performance jaan na ako hehe, me evolook kasi eh tapos 2.0 pa, mejo mas hindi lang nga siya tipid. pero sa akin okei na okei yan headturner yan pag napaporma. kahit pa hindi papansin na vroomvroom iikot at iikot ang ulo ng tao pag maganda pagkaporma niyan hehe

The Lancer 2.0L EX is a great car. Handles well, powerful engine, good looks, spacious interior.

But there are a few details which is not on the GLS which is found on the GT-A model: (from what I remember)
-bumpers, sideskirts (different or absent on the GLS)
-paddle shifters (absent on the GLS)
-electronic guage cluster (GLS have more basic guages)
-smaller disc brakes
-small wheels (16s vs 18s)

At least the bumper and sideskirts can be easily be done in the aftermarket.

Yan po bang mga features na yan ay important for a family car? Sorry at wala akong alam talaga sa mga vehicles. Medyo mahal na kasi ang GT/GT-A models.

hehehe, just saying the differences.

If you like the look of the Lancer GT/GT-A, you might be a bit disappointed with the more bare/basic looking Lancer EX GLS model. But at least it is relatively easy to fix (with aftermarket stuff).

As a family car, it is all there in the GLS. Big interior, powerful engine w/ CVT tranny for effortless/smooth driving even with a full load and smoother ride with it's smaller wheels with taller tires.

My only complaint would be the fake wood trim in the interior. But even that can be "fixed" with a little creative aftermarket "fix".

Marami nga po akong nakita sa forum na pangit nga daw yun, pati yung plastic na gamit sa interior.
