Pea01 Neutral Newbie January 31, 2011 Share January 31, 2011 Hi guys, I know much have been discussed about both cars but how about comparing them? I know one is 1600cc whereas the other is 1500cc but the pricing is pretty close. Juz that lancer fetch higher OMV n lesser accessories so is juz a basic car. Pls share yr views with me. Thanks.

Genes 6th Gear January 31, 2011 Share January 31, 2011 On paper, most will take the jap. For me, go test drive and take the one that speaks to u more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pea01 Neutral Newbie January 31, 2011 Author Share January 31, 2011 I test drive both. In fact, handling wise lancer win but forte is not too far from it too. Any one have reviews on this? Coz i maybe wrong... Interior wise, Kia both 6 or 4 speed not much difference n better then lancer. Yeah agree paper lancer win in terms of resale value and OMV.

Ghostami 2nd Gear January 31, 2011 Share January 31, 2011 Having test driven both, I will take the Forte, the lancer 1.5 is a super cannot make it car, go up mscp need to ram engine if not the car like a turtle walking..... Seriously lack in power, the 2.0 is a different story, just like the other forumer says, if get a lancer , get the 2.0. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
13177 Supersonic January 31, 2011 Share January 31, 2011 If compared between 6 speed Forte and 1.5 Lancer EX, i wld get 6 speed forte. Heard so much tht the 1.5 Lancer EX is super underpower?! Unless u r comparing Lancer EX 2.0 then confirm Lancer EX win my vote. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucaswh 1st Gear January 31, 2011 Share January 31, 2011 Lancer EX 1.5 quite slow, esp the auto one..engine gruff. Go up Benjamin Shears bridge engine sounds really loud, and car upshifts when you need the power. Haven't driven the 2.0 but seems like a better choice to me. If getting Forte, I would get the manual one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
