Vios Vs Lancer

[Deathsythe]

Been thinking abt getting an Altis but it cost more.

In practical sense, Vios and Lancer would be more affordable for a first time car owner.

 

But torn between this 2 models. Hope someone will list the pros and cons for each car.

Test drive both the car and find them good in their own way.

I prefer the Vios. Faster, cheaper? and better FC which is important nowadays. Though rear abit cramped.

Vioswill be better in terms of FC, Speed and spare parts is cheaper and more. But if at high speed it is too light and have floating feeling. Have to slight mod for safety.

 

Lancer - Nicer in design. more stable at high end. But FC is not good and pick up slower than vios. spare part is slightly more exp than vios.

 

personally i will go for vios. FC is impt nowadays. and pickup speed will be good. torque not that impt cause hardly go into malaysia and seldom travel more than 140km/h

[Deathsythe]

Wat kind of slight mods to be done for Vios?

I have the answer!

 

Choose between ------ TOM YUM GOONG---or-----YAKINIKU BENTO WITH SASHIMI

[Toalson]

Tat's a good way to decide...

[Wolverine]

TOM YUM GOONG: Cheap, Spicy, Authetic "village" taste

but might give you a stomach ache, Lau sai, and you will sweat eating it...

 

YAKINIKU: Premium food, Looks really presentable, high class utensils, but sashimi is an acquired taste, air conditioned restaurant

IMHO, very easy to decide.

1) Do you need bigger cabin space? Yes -> Lancer.

2) Are you FC conscience? Yes -> Vios

3) Wanna save a bit road tax? -> Vios

4) Do you care about built quality? - Vios

 

Emotionally, I like the lancer over the vios. It's like choosing a super model over a plain jane.

Rationally, I will not choose the lancer despite liking it so much cos of higher cause of concern for its quality.

 

 

Made in Thailand a cause for concern? Well, it's less risk then getting a mitsubishi.

It doesn't matter when its made in japan if it

4) Do you care about built quality? - Vios

 

Hmm ..... I not quite agreed on this point.

[Toyo]

Lancer has better built quality and handling.

[Essentiale]

vios~

[Hyper_rev]

build quality - vios??

 

I feel the lancer has a better build quality though..

[Osiris]

ok maybe wrong choice of words. reliability

[Serag15]

i'll go for vios...

juz my 2cents...

[Deathsythe]

I find that the cabin space for the rear is quite small.

After putting the baby car at most can sit one more person.

If need to pick up my parents would be a problem.

That's y still considering Lancer

[Czchome]

Get the Lancer cos it build quality is way better than Vios and cabin space is much better too.
