Lancer GlX vs Honda Civic, which one more worth?

lianamaster SG

nothing beats a good old manual flappy paddles suck

True... but in cities like Singapore where jams are so common, locals seem to drive towards convenience nowadays.

I will choose Lancer in term of good FC, cheaper price and cheaper road tax, and actually iVtec is nothing, not as expected powerful and fuel saving, if old age vtec equipped on Sir, yes, honda

i-Vtec may not be able to beat the FC of dual VVTi, or the power of pure VTEC.

But will the lancer SOHC 4G series 30 years old engine is any better?

The lancer has neither power nor good FC

Road tax difference of only what, $242 per year? If one cant cough up 200 bucks, maybe one should seriously reconsider driving.

It's only saving grace is the low buying price.

If the Civic 1.6 FD4 is the same price as the Lancer GLX, would anyone would buy the Lancer?

On paper technical spec all superb until you tried...If you're planning to use for 3-4 years then i suggest you go for the Lancer as what they said car models changed almost yearly.Balance 15k you can opt for other things suchs as standby for overhaul(who knows the ex-owner just know how to drive,dunno to maintain),go for STA inspection to check the chassis whether it was involved in an accident.Spare cash change wear n tear parts suchs as throttle body,tyres,air filters etc.For what driving a fancy 1.8 with no spare cash in hand once the vehicle breakdown?

I thought you know best?

Besides, the figures are computed at optimum, not ideal, conditions.

Only recently did NEA require testing all the FCs of vehicles.. Hence only the more recent/current cars had to go through NEA's FC testing..

Not really, while driver driving style ultimately plays a part in the overall FC of a vehicle, the NEA testing is done under 'real world' conditions, hence if you drive normally, ie conservatively, you will find the FC will be very similar to NEA's results.

Hmm....ok.... I will just take it as a gauge then.

All the way Jazz! 6.7L/100km.

That one I believe!

I also believe the FC of the Jazz can achieve better than 15km/l...

Jazz or Fit is good until you see the insurance rates....

I am more interested in the rates 5 years down the road.

I am more interested in the rates 5 years down the road.

Hmm..

I foresee the insurance premiums for Jazz / Fit will continue to climb

It will be like 10k for a 26 year old, with driving experience of 7 years and 50% NCD.
