Hi everyone,

I'm planning to buy my first car in August this year. My budget is P650K maximum My choices are:

Honda City 1.3S MT - P625,000
Mitsubishi Lancer GLX MT - P628,000

Criteria: Suitability as family car (5 adults), performance, fuel consumption and maintenance - in that order.

I know that Vios 1.3E MT is also within this budget, but I'm not so keen on that car (no offense to Vios owners). I also don't mind that the next generation Lancer EX is just around the corner. Please do not count that factor in your advise (oks lang sakin yung current model, and besides siguradong mas mahal yung next model). Matagal pa naman yung purchase ko, pero pinag-iisipan ko na mabuti. So, I would love to hear your inputs. This is my first post, after reading the forums for some time... Thanks!
