Toyota Altis vs Mitsubishi Lancer (need help deciding)

[Weena]

---

I think no matter how nice the altis is. Its gonna be used as a taxi. Mahal kaayo ang car and taparan ra ka the same altis pero use as a taxi. Sakit ato dughan ana bai. For my opinion, I think Honda Civic is the wiser choice.

One more: Even Taxi models use 1.6 altis, the body is still the same.

i heard some news months ago that toyota have a recall on the avanza used as taxi units? murag dli daw mosugot ang toyota epa taxi ang avanza? pls correct me if im wrong.

nice choice boss. the all new coralla altis is a headturner. its like a mini camry. so elegant and bold and sporty. this is the best corolla that toyota has achieved in all corolla designs. samot na imo sapatosan ug 18s low profile mag laway nalang ta ani hehehe

btw unsa color imo gipili boss? ung what variant?

Murag Apiki ang 18's on an Altis. 19" gyud dapat and then 40 series tires. (Michelin mas maayu arun naa siya kanang protection gamay sa lip against gutters and potholes)

ive had both the previous generations of the altis ( 2004 and 2007 ) and lancer ( 2005 ). i suggest you get the altis bro.. mas good ang gas milage nimo good quality. and also my lancer had many defects medyo bunol mu dagan dayon kalas pa gyud.. the only good thing sa lancer is the ride and handling..

i test drive the lancer EX 2.0 GTA and altis 1.8V
mas nindot ang altis ug ride and handling...

just coz taxi will eventually use it (maybe in a year or so) that makes it less of a wise choice? how come?
the fact that taxi's prefer toyota spells out one thing, reliability and durability.

well opinion rapud ni nako but reliability,durability,minimal long term maintenance,fuel efficiency plus comfort driving is the wiser choice. at least di magisi akong lubot ug akong bulsa in the short run and long run hahahaha plus di pa gyud sigi pakong ako ulo. no concussion. no bukol. thats the wiser choice for me

besides i got the 1.8V dark grey (not the white one)...have you seen it with all its addon...far from the lowend model. ako maski tuparan akong corolla ug corolla taxi...wa man koy paki hehehe love your own gyapon hehehe!

ey even bmw and benz in other countries are used as taxi...thats coz they are reliable and durable and comfortable to ride...

My sister has a Honda Civic. Ok ra man ang maintenance dili man maka buslot. Daghan pa gyud accessories. And dili man sad ko ma pakong. Anyway i am only 5'7" ,basin mas taas pa guro ka nako.

well its your money and your choice. then buy altis!

sir mark, altis for me... i had a very bad experience with mitsubishi from overheating, brake issues, suspension.. etc.. i had the 2001 glx lancer... had to dispose it kay nothing but problems jud, cge lang ko kataw an sa ako sis na naa corolla love life... just imagine nalng at 33,000 kms i had to replace the waterpump kay dli na mo work w/c cost me 8t for the part alone and dugay pa jud ni abot...and after a week sa casa my headlight burst into flames... dnt know gi unsa nila dd2 ang auto.. so in short not satisfied ko sa mitsu.. by the way i change model every 4 years to avoid major issues sa car. actually i dont have the altis, i have the 1.3e vios coz of fuel cost issues. hehehe so far ok kau ang vios ang naka bati kay ang ride, mura gi clipan ang spring. hehehe dont mind others saying na "WA CLASS" ang toyota... i say ang class is not measured sa imo car, but how much is deposited in our banks. hehehe good luck sir mark sa imo car hunting....

are you talking about the new honda civic or the old one?

coz if its the new one then syempre maintenance is not an issue yet...im interested in long term maintenance issues...

and if its the old one then obviously the design is different...only the new one has the problem na maski ako na mas mubo pako nimo, napakong gyapon ko...

also di man sad ko mahilig magaccessories...

anyways, i already bought the altis...tnx

Our family has 2 civics. My sister for the new civic and my younger brother uses the vtec3 honda civic. The new one, well dili ko mo pakong. as for the old one, no problem ang maintenance.

Well nakapalit naman ka altis. Nice man gihapon na. After all its still a toyota. Goodluck on your new car
