hi guys, create another topic with another headache...
My friends intro Vios to me saying FC is much better, cheaper, no problems, etc... better than Lancer...
Now my problem is that the body not as nice as Lancer, but everything alse about Vios is what i want to... Arggghhh... What to do?
Anyway, think gotta test drive both cars before making my decision... really headache now...
what you guys think??? -
my dad and bro went down to ubi to test drive both...
bro preferred the feel of lancer but then the package and the 70% loan
Acceleration and package offered for vios is good...but leg space at the back is slightly cramp..
So conclusion is vios more value for money.. -
Wah, a tough decision indeed.
Lancer well known for power and control while vios, FC is good
For me, in the long run, f c is more important lah. Coz u will really save more on petrol if u choose a vios than lancer. -
Just some info, actually if you compare lancer CVT to vios, vios wins in term of power and of course FC. Only thing good about lancer is its space and handling. But manual Lancer and Vios, think there are still room to fight. Also, Lancer CVT is super noisy, unless you are the gentle driver. Rev hard and you will see.Originally posted by fishing7:Wah, a tough decision indeed.

but from what u said, u prefer lancer's looks rite? To me this is most important. Coz I dont wanna feel miserable everytime i walk to my car and see that it looks so damn ugly.

I fully agree with this view. Choose the car that would make you feel good and take great pride in becuase you will be stuck with the car for at least 4 to 5 years.Originally posted by Poopie-Head:fuel consumption definitely Vios win lah. Also consider when u sell, which one give u more $$ back.

Hey, i got the same problem as you....argggg.......
Initially, i compare, toyota altis, toyota vios, lancer, city and sunny.
After much consideration, i think sunny too ahpek... try to see the car on the road, the front ok but the rear.. sigh... y can't they improve on that (so sunny out) but overall i think the interior not bad. Sit in my friend;s altis, warah..... the dash board bery boring and the rear sit my head kept banging on the roof and the car looks abit like for ahpek too. Then saw the city vtec, wow got disc brake for all wheels, but then the rear look strange too and the price like upper end of the 60k's range so now city oso out. Now left the vios and the lancer.
Vios got all the things needed but the space... sigh..........
and lancer got all the nice appearance....
if i choose will go for lancer, true enough that someone said that you bought a car and every time u go near it, u r not proud and feel damn sian when looking at the ugly car. Lancer, i think is ok la.... the look is there, the F.C don;t think will save much from it (hm.. may b i am wrong), and after all u r driving a car to travel from point A to point B, need so much power (Singapore cannot race la, unless u thinking of going malaysia and try then i dunno)?????
Just get what you like, F.C and power may not be that important but may be can improve next time. I may get a lancer, now consider manual or auto...... arrrgggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh............. once got bonus will go n try but wander when will the newer model coming out.....Originally posted by retroguy:hi guys, create another topic with another headache...

i personally prefer the Vios, but if you have family liabilities then get the Lancer, the Lancer i would recommand the Manual ones , unless you are working in the city or go up north often then the auto one will be perfect to suit your needs ... the F/C wise is errrr how to say , cannot be compared to the Vios as per mention by some of our bros and sis here
The price range is also not so far off from each other, so make a decision wisely, even Vios might look boring, but there are some cosmatic you can do to it, ask Free4ever or Quek , they saw quite a few Vios this morning with nice and cool designs
Just my 2 cents contributions -
Lancer looks much better than Vios and interior space is 1 up. But the perfomance and FC is a letdown compared to Vios.
I was in the same predicatment as you before. Lancer, Altis, City or Vios. In the end, I settled for City. Why? Great FC, innovative use of space, CVT, steermatic, good SE, SA and lots of free accessories. Price wise is closer to 70k for the vtec but well, there's a price for everything right. About the look of City, just add on a bodykit and it looks great! -
Your City is non vtec? how much? Body kit how much or free one?
Got pic to show ur car with great body kit?Originally posted by david3305:Lancer looks much better than Vios and interior space is 1 up. But the perfomance and FC is a letdown compared to Vios.
