Hi,
Sorry but you aure the price for the car is the latest? I didn't really know the latest price of these 2 cars but the price you quoted seems a bit lower. My friend bought a GDI 1.5 last yr at a all time low for Lancer at 75k, the 1.6 cost 74k now only? Wow..... what i mean is that whn u buy, there might be other catch like can't use other insurance, must use their athourised one, which might cost much higher, and then end up paying more to the car. As we say, ' eat pig, pay dog'.
But back to the story, if given the choices, I'll go for the Lancer. Like what yu say, its more sporty than the corolla. No offence to all corolla driver, but many youngster labelled it as the uncle car, cos of its family look.
Furthermore, there are just too many sunny and corolla on the road nowsaday, making the car very boring......... next time the 2nd hand car martket sure over flow with these 2 cards. SO, my choice go to Lancer.
i will definitely go 4 the corolla cos its more powerful than the lancer...no offence to lancer drivers too...theres very sporty corolla on the rd too..
Latest prices for Lancer 1.6 Glx and Corolla...
Lancer 1.6: 75,988 for manual sports version
Corolla: 81,388...
Got these prices from a mag... not sure whether dealers selling at same price....
Heard tat there a facelift for the lancer. But not sure how does it exactly look like now. Wat I heard was, a new set of rear light. For the 1.6 version, heard tat the rear light were those Altezza transparent rear light. Anyone has any confirm infos or photos bout the facelift?
Anyway... I guess for Corolla, the fuel consumption is better compare with the lancer.
but lookswise.. i think the lancer look better with bodykit. But the new 2003 corolla look very luxury for me.
yes the new lancer will be available very soon frm c&c..... yes its the facelifted version... tail lights will be altezza styled as wif the evo 8 front bumper and head lights also facelifted to give a smoother look unlike the cedia gen which has more lines n cuts... i have pictures for that but i dont know how to post them here..... u can try this link for pics http://www.mitsubishimotors.co.jp/LANCER/index.html
as for the g9 luxury is not the word to describe it,cos the interior of the g9 is really cheapo.(no offence to g9 owners) but for its price it is a good ride with good fuel consumption n quite gd power for an average family car.
it all depends wat r your piorities? power? enconmy? looks?
