Which will you all choose and the reason

[Maxwell]

Lancer GLX 1.6

Vios 1.5


Thanks

[evolutionIX]

lancer for me..
lancer looks nicer and sportier than vios...

[scyeige]

dude, with your driving style and habits... the vios is good enuff... besides that, you'll want something that will last... the vios is it. cheap and good!

[tUx]

VIOS.. I feel that the VIOS would be more lasting.. Plus running costs will be lower..

[badrul666]

VIOS! just because it's as reliable as a stone stool.....not really made for comfort but god damn it's reliable

[Maxwell]

but lancer cheaper then vios leh..

how?

by $20 bucks


u all may think little but then i am doing this for some reason

[lulu]

lancer more zhng-able

[leong]

IMO Lancer looks more nicer than VIOS

[Abyss]

lol 95% of car buyers always go for looks & says "this car nicer than that so i must buy this".What do people really know about engine specs? I myself dont even know much, picking up bits and pieces from my dad. Well.. looking for economical, engine power & stability. I must say Vios is much much better.But still at the end of the day, is still the person with the money to buy and decide which car suits them best.

[international]

LANCER...1.6L beats 1.5L

[Maxwell]

LANCER...1.6L beats 1.5L


this part u are wrong

vios engine beats lancer if i am correct

IMO Lancer looks more nicer than VIOS


looks is not that impt to me.

lancer has 2 disc and 2 drum brake

vios has 4 disc brake


so which u choose?

this is wat i also think

zhng is not in my mind


is about which car is better

WTF...LANCER IS SHIT SHIT SHIT THEN>>>hahaha...jokes man...I would really perfer the Lancer looks...that Lancer with a K&N Air-Intake along with a straight-through big bore exhaust with a nice Remus or Devil tip, matched by a set of RalliArt bodykit and sitting on a pair of Enkei RP-07 or Volk TE37...maybe throw in a set of Tein or D2 adjustable coil covers and a nice C-West Cabon GT Wing and C-West Carbon GT Bonnet...your Lancer will look very unique...

If you dont mind putting a snail in there...maybe a Nice Garrett 25GT Turbo which should be good for a decnt 320BHP running at about 14~16psi with quad of Wisco forged pistons and maybe even put through a Jun stroker kit to increase the capacity from 1.6L to 1.9L for even more power. A nice HKS Drag series intercooler and to top it off with a very cool Motec ECU system. If that aint enough...maybe a Holley NOS 60BHP kit will do the trick. But due to the actualy physical limitations of the 1.6L you wont be able to surpass 400BHP...the engine just wont be able to hold more than 20psi even if you had the gaskets and forged engine block...

Ulitmately, if you dont mind, just pop a RB26DETT and pop in a twin set of Garrett 45GT turbo and all the basics and you will see you dyno numbers going off the screen...I mean how does a 800BHP Lancer sound like? hehehehe

[HG]

as a ex-vios owner, i would say the vios suit your your driving style dah! agreed with gugu-kage

Lancer because in the end you are going to replace them with some Brembo Big Reds...8 pot in the front and 4 pot in the back...should be some serious brake power there...

Did you know that Yamaha actually owns the Italian Brake Specialist Brembo?

[HG]

IMO Lancer looks more nicer than VIOS
so i reckon next time you will get the enzo ferrari?

not bad for a Korean car...that 1.6L NA pulls some decent horses...The best thing about Korean cars is the warranty hehehehe :P

Na this model not in NZ...but looks very similar to the Toyota Cammy :D

but FUCKING ex...for that price in NZ you can buy a brand new BMW 320i or a 2nd hand 530i...SG government tax like mad!!!

i tink vios would be good... if i not wrong, the lancer's engine is quite old and fuel inefficient... and vios has 4 disc brakes... i would choose tt compared to 2 disc 2 drum...

and inter, u're wrong, i believe the vios can beat lancer hands down, stock...

[international]

damn...buy car in NZ and import to SG :D

If you are looking for any drift cars...a Nissan S15 Silvia 200SX running over 300BHP fully Drift-Spec also road legal going for under 20K....nice paint job...SR20DET engine just rebuilt with paper works to prove...very nice cars...you can find total stock ones for about 14K...if you think that is ex...you can get a S13 for under 5K...fully road legal and can be easily turned into a drift car with the change of suspension, LSD and thats it...feel sorry for you guys...

WRX STi are only 65~70K brand new

i tink vios would be good... if i not wrong, the lancer's engine is quite old and fuel inefficient... and vios has 4 disc brakes... i would choose tt compared to 2 disc 2 drum...

We'll see about that once the Lancer gets the Evolution treatment :P

the lancer GLX, bloody no horsepower..



weakkk

[xiao`meow]

lydat, the vios should undergo a mark X or altezza treatment also, so that both will have the same engine cap...
but seriously, the vios is light and has really good pickup, the lancer's pickup and FC sucks big time... other than styling, i dun see any way where the lancer can win.. even my 1.3A fit's pickup is on par with the 1.6 GLX lancer

the lancer GLX, bloody no horsepower..

yeah... i drove my cousin's lancer glx.. really wanna cry lor...

[scyeige]

let's not OT in this thread... TS WILL NOT MOD the car...

and with his turtle driving, the vios is still the best bet of the 2 (in fact, it would be the best bet, period).

[Maxwell]

wat turtle driving?

i dun need horsepower or anything

but i am in a bad place now

anyone got toyota dealer to intro?

I think i am not going to mod the car at all due to some problems

[Dihudaxia]

Vios!

I will give it you ya, the Lancer looks better, got nice rims and all, but i have driven the Lancer and i can say that its handling, steering feel and suspension setup is not as good as the Vios.

The Vios feels more solid on the roads under most conditions, less float, less corrections needed etc, and to me thats important. Road holding is always important whether you drive fast or slow.

FC, quality and cabin space i reckon is abouts the same, there is not much difference in these aspects. Realiability? Well, i seldom hear of Vios giving its owners a scare, but i haven't heard much about Lancers either so that good news on both fronts.

Sit in both cars, drive em around and you shld be able to decide which car you feel most comfortable in..

For me if i had a choice, neither :doh:, cos i don't like the Lancer's roadholding, i don't (can't get used to) the Vios' center speedo and 80's interior. But then again, thats just me. If i really had to choose, then Vios, the lesser of two evils. :laugh:

Turtle driving??? HAHAHAHAHA

I hope that means slow driving and not a tendency to turn turtle. hahahah

lancer more zhng-able

i'm sorry but you wont want it to get any slower :laugh:

[master_mood]

i used to think vios was better but after i test drove both (manual), lancer turns out to be smoother actually and performs better.. besides, lancer is more spacious at the back..

not allowed to parallel import cars older than 3 years old iirc. so no S15s, no S13s, no R34s.

anyway you'll get smacked with the tax even if you import from nz.
so the s15 going at 20k will get 150% arf + coe

end up about 70k?

[Maxwell]

wooooo COE drop quite alot man.

[master_mood]

bear in mind that vios is made in thailand and lancer, in japan..

[Abyss]

bear in mind that vios is made in thailand and lancer, in japan..

just because it is made in some country like thailand does not mean the parts are really being manufactured in thailand.It might just be ensemble in thailand or even if it still being manufactured in thailand whats the diff? just because it is made from some 3rd world country? thats the prob with people nowadays thinking it is being made in some country like thailand seems kinda unreliable

[Maxwell]

bear in mind that vios is made in thailand and lancer, in japan..


but u got to also think that vios is a new engine and lancer have not changed their engine :wink:

[bozo]

yo intl, yeah i'm still in sg


bear in mind that vios is made in thailand and lancer, in japan..

bear in mind that toyota cars have been known for their quality and reliability.

and also know that cycle and carriage's vehicle service dept is "damn good"

[longshao]

toyota fan here, so i will choose vios. but if u wan to zheng(modify) ur parts n all that, then take lancer lor. u can zheng until as much as u like.

but toyota more resell value.

[Maxwell]

as i said it is not for zhen my car or anything it is just a car for transport.

toyota under cycle and carriage meh?

wat u mean by service damn good? @bozo

[longshao]

no la, toyota not under C & C. i heard for toyota under borneo motors is not bad.

[Dihudaxia]

Well, MAx, i am not sure if you are rushing into a purchase or not, but this mth COE is down and it might be a good time to go shopping, also if you wait till next year and GST goes up to 6% or 7%, and the distros dun buffer GST then you might end up paying more! Bad....

[longshao]

go for the vios, you wont regret
:D

vios is a bit not use to it leh, coz speedometer at the center wan. jus like hyundai matrix. when u wan to see speed, mus turn head a bit.

yea i am considering abt this also

[tmfwy]

Skyline R34 GTT or GTR
else
Nissan Silvia S13 200SX
else
Mazda Miata MX5 First Gen aka Eunos Roadster

I just love popups, so no S15. :P
Of course, the Pontiac Trans Am Corvette is nice ( Knight Rider ), but US cars are a tad impractical to drive in SG. lol

Vios Beats Lancer GLX anytime anyday in terms of power but Lancer GLX has alot of legroom. :P Both are affordable cars to buy IMO.

[lolb]

I heard from some friends that lancer is not that fuel efficient (12km/L).... vios (13-14km/L) will be a better choice in terms of saving fuel bah....

Also, vios is also way lighter... so pickup is much more better than a lancer... Unless u want stylo cars, lancer is better for zhenging.... so can make nice nice, sian charbo.

hahaha...who drives GTT??? running a RB25DETT...its a cheapo version of a RB26DETT...the problem with the RB25DET/DETT is that the engine blocks cannot take much boost as the RB26...

The turbos on the RB series are Ceramic Turbos which are about 7PSI stock however if you play around with them and up the boost...make sure you dont exceed 11PSI has those turbo tends to give you death at 12PSI...Despite of such limited boost figures, these Ceramic turbos were used and designed with the intention to reduce turbo-lag...the more PSI...the more lag you get...SR20DET use Garrett turbos which are actually stronger turbo but run with an internal wastegate...most factory turbos have internal wastegate which is alright for turbos running small PSIs...anything over 15PSI...consder external wastegates...38mm+

Now i heard Vios coming out new model in march?

Did you know that Yamaha actually owns the Italian Brake Specialist Brembo?

i didnt know that...

serious?

this i am not to sure never follow up on that car.


care to post a pic?

[xiao`meow]

max... dun wait for the new lancer... expected price should be 60+k... not worth it... the current one is "cheap" (aka 40+k region) cos it's an old model, so it's relatively cheaper to manufacture.

[master_mood]

you can go to this site for the pics http://www.jalopnik.com/photogallery/2007lancer

looks so cool man, like mazda3
