To all: Thanx 4 ur valued opinions
Aside to Nightsky87: Thanx 4 sharing. Your view reinforces my
initial stand on buying the civic. However, was pondering over
these 2 models due to these factors:
1) Lancer EX 2.0 Sports comes with 2.0 litres engine, body kits
and rims , rear spoilers and sports tyres, still a few k cheaper
than an empty civic 1.8
2) Nid to buy full body kits and sports rims, tyres as i intend
to make my car sporty. Thus forking out more $ for the civic
3) Advises given to me that civic's maintenance is relatively
high and way overpriced for mid size sedan.
Pardon me for not mentioning the sporty point earlier in my
thread. =X
Feel free to hightlight any lapse of info i had stated cuz i'm
still quite noob at cars.
To NerdRulz: i'm looking for an abv avg engine performance car
and dun mind enhancing the looks of it to make it sportier. Design
and Budget wise has narrowed me down to these 2 models. Unable to
afford real sports car like Type R and RX8s Any advise to
offer?
Last of all: So far all Pro Civics. Any Lancer EX backers here?
was hoping to hear a few words from lancers supporters or so.
haha
I support Lancer EX GT purely for its looks. Asthetics
wise, it looks more sporty than the Civic. The side skirting, rims
and the spoiler completes the ideal package for a sporty GT.
But that's so far the GT goes...
If you look deeper into the ownership costs and stuff, the Civic
will save you more in terms of road tax, fuel, and insurance even
though it may be seem more expensive than the GT. I doubt the GT
will be as fuel-efficient as the 1.8L civic, being a 2.0L car in
its class.
Hence, in my opinion, if you have set aside a substantial amount
of money and wish to garner the sporty image that you might have,
by all means the EX GT is for you. If you wish to find areas to
save money while not compromising on the power and efficiency of
the car, then you can consider the Civic and possibly change the
rims or add the spoiler to create the sporty feel that you
want.
Just my 2 cents' worth...
