Aircon is not good. Just okay at best. Lalo na pagtanghali at tirik yung araw. Di malamig masyado kahit imax yung thermostat. Kung at high speeds malamig din naman kasi yung compressor gets help from the engine. Pero kung traffic, medyo di talaga malamig enough for me. Pagwalang araw though at kung maulan no probs.

I thnk isa sa weaknesses ng mitsu ung AC system. Sa montero, adventure, di rin ganun kalamig. Yung FD mo ba mike mas malamig AC?

[Mikemike07]

Yup. Pagmalakas yung araw max thermostat ko lang malamig na. Yung pajero rin namin di gano kalamig aircon. Baka trademark ng mitsu yun. Haha. Pero dont worry kahit naman hindi gano kalamig, hindi ka naman papawisan. Malamig pa rin naman makapal lang balat ko haha.

Mga bossing can you give me a brief explanation why would I choose lancer ex 1.6 glx vs lancer gt a 2.0 (2009)? Nagbabalak kc ako bumili. Since yung gta eh sa cuz ko ang benta nya is 600k. Nabasa ko kc panget daw ang cvt eh. Tia!

^ bossing, transmission is a personal preference or a personal need. Get an M/T if you plan or madalas ka sa race track or if you want to enhance your driving skills, hands and feet coordination, etc. Get the CVT if you just need a car for city driving, big advantage on stop/go traffic, but it doesn't kill spirited driving with its 6-speed sportronic function. Ang worry mo lang dapat sa CVT kay kung maling fluid ang nailagay ng cousin mo sa GTA nya. CVTF ang tamang fluid and not the ordinary ATF.

Actually, ikaw lang ang makakasagot nyan if kung gusto mo ng manual or matic.

Ganun ba sir? So hindi naman din lugi sa maintenance ng cvt in case na may problema? Mejo mag 5 yrs na din kc yung gt-a nya eh. Ang worried ko baka biglang bumigay yun. Hehe.

Another question, sulit na ba sa 600k yun or better to go sa bnew na 1.6 manual? 37km n dw ang natakbo nun since na seaman din sya I think minsan nya lang din magamit.

Malaki ang difference ng fuel consumption nila. I prefer manual dahil dun ako natuto, saka OC ako pagdating sa FC. Saka ayoko rin ng madaming minimentain sa kotse. Especially sa CVT, pagnagkamali ka ng fluid na nilagay, malaking problema.

Wala naman problema sa fc since d ko din naman gagamitin for work eh. Since na nagbabarko ako magagamit ko lng din pag nakabakasyon ako. Tsaka about sa fluid ng cvt im sure d na din ako mahihirpn jn since mejo may alam n din ako about sa mga lubricants. Anyway thanks bossing! Kating kati n kamay ko magkaroon ng sasakyan. Lol!

OK lang na bumili ka ng fluids (engine oil, coolant, power steering, brake fluid) sa labas pero pag dating sa CVT, I suggest na sa casa mo ipagawa at sabihin mo na CVTF ang gagamitin. Anyway, every 40,000 kms naman ang palit ng CVT fluid.

Just check the maintenance records if available. 600T is ok as long as it's well maintained and not flooded.

[Mikemike07]

Usually brandnew recommendation ko pero in your case, pinsan mo naman. Di ka naman siguro nya lolokohin. Its okay. Try ko pa tumawad konti. Yan kasi prevailing price talaga ng '09. Presyong kapamilya naman sana. Mga 550k haha. Ask mo kung nagloko at napalitan na yung abs sensors. Yan kasi usually sakit ng lancer after 3 years. Mahal din yun palitan. The only thing youll miss from the 1.6 glx is fuel consumption. Malaki talaga ang difference nila when it comes to that. Obvious naman din 1.6 vs 2.0. Kaya actually you can afford to speed up more with the 1.6. Less guilt. Haha. Well either one is a good choice but id go for the gta of your cousin. Naging dilemma ko rin yan eh. Yun nga lang wala akong pinsan na nagbebenta sakin. Kaya risky talaga ang used car for me. Malaki laki matitipid mo by choosing the gta of your cousin. Aftermarket wheels 50k agad magagastos mo. Tapos for sure kelangan mo ng bodykits. Sobrang bare tingnan ng lancer na walang sideskirts. Sideskirts alone is 10k.

[jigs_xix]

If I can afford a brand new unit, I'll get it for peace of mind in terms of quality. And nothing beats that brand-new-car smell. Pero brand new unit doesn't guarantee good quality kasi meron pa din mga lemon units out there and wala pa tayong Lemon Law to fully protect car buyers.

In case of buying a pre-owned car, it depends on the previous owner. Since pinsan mo naman yan, just follow what Walter and Mikemike said (check records and ask for additional discount). Since seaman sya at hindi madalas nagagamit yung car, dapat papalitan mo na yung mga fluids nyan especially yung engine oil since likely may oil sludge na yan kasi hindi palaging naiinitan ang makina.

Also, don't worry about the durability of Invecs III CVT. It will last together with the car used under normal driving conditions (including spirited driving) as long as it is properly maintained (i.e. CVTF). Hindi naman siguro nag 10 hot laps sa racing track yan kasi mag overheat yung CVT under that circumstance. Mas durable ang M/T as compared to CVT but it doesn't mean that CVT is not durable enough.

[Ihenyero]

Ganun po ba? Thanks sa mga experts suggestion nyo. I'll ask muna yung mga sinabi nyu then I'll report back here. Paalis na din kc yun so dpt masabihan ko. Manggaling p kasi ng cdo yung sasakyan eh. Hehe. Thanks ulit mga bossing!

Anu palagay niyo mga paps mirage vs lancer 1.6 in terms of FC? Pansin ko may mga nakaka 11km/l or even higher sa lancer 1.6 halos malapit sa FC ng mirage. Gusto ko sana mirage kaso kailangan ko trunk space ng fortis

Fc, Mirage pa din. Lalo na sa traffic dito satin kung city driving. Maachieve mo lng yang 11 km/l sa ex kung d masyadong traffic siguro or kng mixed hiway and city.

Just a few days ago around 12am tinry ko lang tipirin si ex novaliches to libis. Naka 15.9 km/liter ako sa trip computer. Kaya ng 16 kaso andun nko sa loc e naubusan na ng daan. :-)

Yup may mas trunk ang ex kumpara sa mirage. Pero kumpara mo sa iba, vios, city at accent (not the hatch) eh mas malaki pa trunk sa EX. Kung sobra g halaga syo ng trunk naku baka madismaya ka lang.

Id go for EX not because of the fc but because its in a different category, it is bigger in every aspect.

[washburn]

Actually paps pansin ko sa small engined car (meron kami 1.3 vios) di siya maganda sa highway parang malakas siya sa consumo at maingay makina, kailangan mo i push kaya siguro lumalakas consumo, built for the city lang talaga mga small engined cars.

More on highway ako kaya naiicip ko mag lancer 1.6 at iba talaga peace of mind mo pag medyo malaki dala mo sa highway vs compact car

Ang layo ng difference sa ride ng compact vs. Subcompact. I have a vios as well and ramdam ko pinagkaiba. Mas matipid ung small engine sa city. Pero iba na pag hiway.

Ginagamit mo pa ba si Vios simula dumating si EX? hehe

Pag coding. Hehe. I still use it half the time. M/T kasi ung vios ko kaya gusto ko rin gamitin chaka mas madali pansingit sa traffic.
