The SE told me the new lancer will be priced close to 60K and it is expected that the COE will go up in the next few months.
I'm also considering jazz(53K), I still like the manual lancer after test driving both cars.
Anyone has any complain on manual lancer after driving it for sometime? So far I only know that it is using old engine. Is it reliable?
Thanks a lot for all your advices.
Well... for a start... the SOHC engine is really old school. If you are looking for a normal drive car, lancer shouldn't be a problem. Space wise is ok, design... lots of ways to body kit it up. If you are looking for more power, got to change alot of things inside the lancer or maybe wait for the new lancer, DOCH Mivec, confirm got power.
Just look at the ancester, 97 Lancer MR. That is one of the few cars that can play with ESI or SIR. With some mod, taking on a EG wouldn't be a problem. But too bad, no more MR manual on the road now, left the auto only.
I've been driving the lancer for the past 2 1/2" yrs and up to now, theres no problem with it except that its a noisy engine. Very loud when on high rpm compare to other similar catogery. With Open pod, lagi jialat. Like a lion roar.
Sound loud, but not fast enough...
