Peqasus 1st Gear April 30, 2007 Share April 30, 2007 Hi all, not sure if this is a apple to apple comparison. Seems like the price difference for these 2 1600C cars is +- 2000. FC: About similar with Lancer slightly better Insurance: Subaru cheaper Spare parts: Lancer more common and cheaper Technology wise: SOHC Boxer + AWD tips vs overdue SOHC engine. Just trying to draft a table comparing the 2 cars given similar pricing, sporty outlook, poor FC and lack of power of these 2 cars. Any other factors i left out? Resale value? Any reviews is appreciated. Stress. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coolblue6699 Neutral Newbie May 1, 2007 Share May 1, 2007 hahaha..... finally someone link this 2 car together. Typical an beng car in the 2000s....... if you chose lancer you are ah beng if you chose subaru you are ah seng I dont know if the above is the only reason ppl choose this 2 cars, a lady friend (executive in Stangard Chartered - should be out of the ah Lian family) has choosen Subaru TS 1.6L after she crashed her previous 2002 sonata in a turn during rains. Her only reason is that she feel confident in the TS compared with all the 1.6L car she had test drove, she never even put road tax, insurance, FC, look......blar blar blar into consideration. Just pick the aspect which is important to you and follows it, there is no perfect car ie cheap, good looking, good performance, low FC, low insurance, low rosd tax, good badge........... and finally everyone like it, not very possible Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
S_ibiza98 Neutral Newbie May 1, 2007 Share May 1, 2007 (edited) a heavy chasis (1.3ton) but its e same body built for rally breed wrx / sti a AWD tt have more transmission loss, but handles well, giving firmer grip poorer FC as a result for above 2 points in e end u decide, wats best for u. I decided... for a safety, cos u dont know when u need it, but its there for u besides there are lots of enhancement for TS, which shares w WRX / LGT / FXT Edited May 1, 2007 by S_ibiza98 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
