  Hello.. everybody is Mitsubishi lancer 1.6MT the 60+ K.. Made in Japan?

  Made in japan should be better then the Thailand City and VIOS i guess.. somemore is 1.6.. City and VIOS is onli 1.5.. So more worth it to buy Lancer?

  I think Nissan Sunny (which is also made in Japan) is also about $60k for their EX manual, so do check that out as well

  ??? GAL2, please explain why you say that for outdoor sales, lancer isn't a good choice? Is it because of its FC?
  
  Anyway, comparing Vios and Lancer, Lancer gives a all-round nice feeling. But FC is higher compared to Vios. Lancer is about 12-13km/L, Vios about 15km/L.
  
  I made a estimation, if you spend 200dollar on Vios a month, you will save S$5000 more on Lancer in a 10 years period.
  
  To choose Vios or Lancer, guess it would be how confidence you are on each brand. Mitsubishi motors seems to be going downhill lately. And is Toyota a strong enough brand to make its thailand made car worth it?

  im a lancer sports MT driver...all i can say is the 60+k is worth it..cos to me it includes the whole sports package..Rims, bumpers,spoilers,skirtings,sports pedals, basically the whole bodykit..and also the all black interior...
  
  the FC is considered higher than Vios..the best FC i had driven is 13km/l..but thats normal driving..meaning i only cruise at 90km/h on highways..no over rev nothing...
  
  i prefer the lancer is because..compare to Vios...the looks are more appealing..somemore my car is black in colour..so that makes it like a bat mobil..
  
  another thing which i think Vios dun have is the "racer" type of sound when you start the engine..hahaa...*thats my opinion*..it sounds like got turbo loh..very shiok..
  
  another thing i dun like about toyota MT cars is the clutch..its much stiffer compared to the lancer..

  Point taken. Vios manual cannot be test-driven at the dealer's side, they only allow auto test-drive. That info on the clutch would be quite valuable.

  Dun u agree tat Mitsubishi car FC is higher, if u r doing outdr sales, u r running abt singaporewide, am i rite to say tat ur fuel will b veri ex?
  
  I do like e current mitsubishi lancer design... For a transportation to bring mi to point A to point B, I dun mind get lancer...
  
  It still depend on individual... whether which brand u prefer & hw u lok at it....

  the fc for nissan sunny is even worse. looking at fc, of course the vios drinks less than the lancer.
