Before bought my new car today, I had actually tested Mazda3,
Altis 08 and Lancer EX 1.5A.
So my order goes to.... Lancer EX 1.5A
Why? See below...
1. Super value for money. For just $58,988, I got a very
attractive newly designed and larger car that come along with
goodies like 16" sport rim, leather seats, factory fitted tinted
glass, reverse sensor with distance-to measuring, 3M floor matt,
rain visor and others. No disc brake? Doesn't matter as the
drum brake was more than enough for a 1.5L car.
2. Very good looking interior design and the red
lighted meters with trip computer was sexy too. Instrument
deck, control buttons, especially the doors panel
looking better than those on Civic, at least make me feeling
cheap.
3. Good looking, comfort and very supportive seats for the front
and rear too.
4. Good designed engine that built by
ex-Mercedes Benz power plant in Germany that provide better
power curve at most rpm.
5. Good steering wheel and corner control when drive hard.
6. Low noise when cruising. I don't rev unnecessary and if I
does, I'm more focus on the traffic instead of the sporty
engine noise. Boh pian mah, road condition and safety more
important then focusing on the car noise.
7. Good FC, according sources.
8. Not bad 6 speakers stereo sound system for
in-car-entertainment. I'm a Hi-Fi sound tuning expert, so I've know
what is a good sound, when I heard it. All just don't ask too
much for low price ice system but expect it to sound good is
enough.
Think that will be more joy for me to discover when I got my key
in 2 weeks time.
the EX hor, dunno why when i drive it, the speed and stuffs are
smoother than the old altis, despite the 1.6 and 1.5 difference
i only drive before these three, but i'm a noob at cars,
haha
pardon my noobness
