^^Well depende naman sa income capacity to gauge if you think a car is a gas guzzler; in the US Civics are called economical vehicles but here for some it might already be a gas guzzler. For me though its still economical. Well if you are a guy who makes P20,000/month then yes even a Vios might be a gas guzzler for you

If you're on a Corolla budget, then the Galant certainly isn't the car for you. But if you're on a Camry budget, the 400,000 peso discount over the Camry you get with the Galant would go to paying for a couple of years' worth of gas.
Simply put, the gas guzzler tag is a relatively meaningless term. Like Jun says, you can apply that tag even to a Corolla or a Civic if you're comparing it to even smaller cars.
Cars are a luxury. Period. If all you need is transportation, a bicycle or a motorbike will do nicely. You buy a car for the luxury of being able to sit down instead of having to straddle a motorcycle. For the luxury of weather protection and air-conditioning. And for the luxury of prestige.
The Galant may have an ugly mug, but it's very comfortable, very spacious and it goes down the road well. It's nowhere near the same class as the Camry or the even better new Accord, but for that money, it's a pretty good car.
Fuel efficient? Who cares? When you get into a car that big, you can't assume fuel efficiency at all. And if you can afford to buy one, let alone maintain one, then fuel efficiency is probably not the first thing on your mind. ;)

September 14th, 2010 03:48 PM #28We recently got a Mitsubishi Lancer EX glx. The original SRP before was I think 940k++ for the base model. But the people at the plantation informed us that there will be a 90k discount because they are no longer importing the units from Japan but rather are assembling them locally (maybe to save on costs?). My guess is they are not able to compete with the Corolla and the Civic that's why they had to implement measures to save on costs and increase sales. And maybe the same story goes for other models like the Galant.

alas, much as we might want to rely on our noses, we may not use our noses to do emissions...
