Help Me Build My Car 1.2+ (Lancer EX MX/GTA)

[Starex_Gold]

Yes if you have the budget, go for the GT-A. Its a great looking car out of the box, wala kang hassle. But then again it's also a lot of fun to dress-up or upgrade your car.

Maganda na yung GT-A pero marami pa ako nakikita pwedeng ikabit. Ok din mag dress-up ng top of the line.

Or the entry level BMW 318 pretending to be a BMW M3. Nothing new.

If you can't afford the real thing, fake it.

yup, I saw it in the BMW show room in white. Nice. Very nice. But kinda out of my budget.

Sir GH,
Yesterday, I saw one White Lancer Ex Mx variant at school and I'm sad cause it doesn't look that attractive against a black Civic FD, Did Mitsubishi change to stock bumper of the 2008 Lancer and 2011 Lancer? So I've reconsidered the GC 2.0 - 1.3 only? Thoughts Thanks
Its now Genesis Coupe 1.3m variant vs. Lancer Ex GTA.

The Coupe is faster, bigger (except in rear seat headroom) and has more presence. It has a better natural balance, though I feel the Lancer has a better tuned suspension.

Of course, the Coupe gives you turbocharged power. Not something you can get in the Lancer unless you plunk down 2m for the Ralliart.

Do you notice the difference?

You can color the "center bar" portion black to get this look:

Sir GH, Thanks for the effort. If you had to choose the GC-1.3m or the GTA-1.2m?

You should factor in discounts and not just look at SRP. The Mitsubishi GTA would be around 1M post-discounts wherein the GC would still hover around 1.3M.

Between the two, why buy a stripped down version of a GC against a top of the line Lancer? A coupe might be maporma, but when it comes down to it, speed is what matters. 200,000 pesos of price difference would get you far on the engine modifications for the GTA. If you're a superficial person, get the GC. If you have even a tiny bit of practicality, get the GTA.

You're in a college/university setting, trust me, don't underestimate the difference of 2 additional seats at the back would make in a fun run of your destination. So unless you have midgets for friends, scrap the GC.

For what it's worth, the difference between the stock sound system versus a GTA Rockford Fosgate system is around 20k. Nothing big.

A good car is often more than the sum of it's parts.

The GC might be tempting but having to feed a thirsty car while living on a strict budget isn't much fun.

Months ago, I have driven the GC and it was fun while it lasted. But I went home in a Lancer EX that day.

Go with the top of the line GT-A. Then Use the 2-300K difference for aftermarket mods.
