If I were you, I'd buy a Lancer. I used to drive a 1994 Lancer and until now, ok pa din yun car (my brother uses it now), walang problema sa makina.

JMHO.

ano po difference ng lancer GLX sa MX? sa makina ba? sorry po zero talaga ako pg dating sa mga model ng cars. but i would go for the lancer na lang instead of optra. sabi naman ni erpat vios or altis na lang daw kasi toyota tested na daw talaga. kaso ang dami ng nagkalat na vios at altis sa kalsada..

glx = lesser spec ng MX.. as i recall, 2005 glx is manual, 1.6L

GLX = manual tranny
MX = automatic tranny w/ CVT

2005 1.6MX and 2005 1.6 GLX has the same engine 4G18 SOHC the only difference here is the added accessories of the MX..

para sakin oks naman optra.

meron ako optra 04. ok naman sya.

medyo limited nga lang pagdating sa mga parts.

pero pag me kailangan ako meron din naman sa banawe,

di nako bumibili sa casa mahal kc.

medyo mababa resale value, pero kung ikaw ang bibili

pabor sayo.

ok naman ang optra. except that malakas sya sa gas. kaya lang if 2004 model ang kukunin mo, pili ka na lang ng iba.

hi guys,
i got my 2nd hand optra 04 and running in its 2nd year of my use. and for me, its fine. consumption is for me depends on how a driver operates.
Try limiting your rpm into 2 and change to the next high gear and so on, you'll notice the consumption is less. likewise if you drive your optra in high rpm's then you consume more gas. (btw, also consider the proper timing of lowering your gears when driving uphill cuz optra will consume more)

Magkano budget mo?

Eto na lang pagpiliian mo

1. Toyota Corolla Altis
2. Mitsubishi Lancer
3. Nissan Sentra
4. Honda Civic

JMHO

Pero kung napupusuan mo yung Optra. Then go for it!

I just read a thread about the Chevy Optra ( no offense

just to share to you a bit of optra's design history...

[SIZE=3]"The car was designed and engineered in Korea by GMDaewoo Auto Technology or GMDAT with collaboration and inputs of other GM facilities worldwide. The drive train of this particular model (1.8 of 2003 till 2006) are sourced from GM Holden while the auto gearbox was designed by ZF Friedrichshafen AG of Germany and made specially under licensed by GMDAT. For those who don't know, ZF is the leading manufacturer of transmission with BMW, Mercedes and VW being their premier clients. Handling was perfected by Lotus Plc. UK.[/SIZE][SIZE=3]"[/SIZE]

FYI.
