Lancer or Civic?

[digital-d]

I got a friend who's looking for a left over '03 car. He limited it down between the Civic and the Lancer and wants me to help him, so now I lay this question on you guys......what is a better car/ what do you guys like better? No Flamming!

A broom stick? lol but really he should be able to catch a 03 Cavalier for like 8 grand :) they are pretty nice....

Uh..... The Mitsu I guess. Are we talking base models here or performance? I'd go with the Lancer Evo if we're stepping up the performance ladder. The Civic Si is worthless.

I'd rather have a WRX STI than either of those two choices however.

I would go with the civic. A lot of aftermarket support, better potential for modifications, and I have seen some really nice newer civics that looked really clean. But the cavi would be an even better choice. Also what is your friend looking to spend. This maybe help even more.

a 99-00 SI is the only civic id buy

the 7th gen civics are jsut trash....slow and shitty

yeah i know a 16.1 is claimed everywhere, but if thats true then my car runs mid 15s cause i waste 7th gen civics (even ones with intake,header,exhaust) all day long

and the lancer is just crap too....slow as shit, unless its an evo, but then he should get hte STI over that.

yeah i think a 2.2 cavvy 5spd would be his best bet, and fastest.

He's looking to spend under $20k for a car. I think he wants to go for either the Civic EX coupe or the Lancer OZ rally edition. All he needs right now is something reliable, efficient and cheap on the insurence. He said that he would like to do some mods to it but that would be down the road. Either way I have raced both cars and killed them so I don't have much of an opinion on either.

I think that your friend should get the civic. The lancer is ugly. But I would go with a cavi, or even a sentra.



Although I dont like the rims on the car, I think this is an example of a nice clean civic.

those headlghts look like anus

*I* think bodykits look like anus :p


Either way, I'd vote for a Civic (preferably an EX manual) or a Sentra (1.8L manual, or 2.5L auto)..........

performance crap aside, yuou think my car looks worse than a stock 96-98 grand am se? lol..........you might not think so, but every other person on this site thinks its an improvement.

(pre 97 GPs also, look like anus, btw, LOL)




anyway.....under 20k opens up a plethora of cars

sentra SE-R spec V
mini cooper S
SRT 4 (would end up a lil over 20 but hey its worht it)
cavvy 5spd
sunfire 5spd
tuburon v6
mazdaspeed protege (mmmmm.....handling greatness)

hell even a Civic SI :rolleyes:


all those cars are decent, good, or outstnading for 20k

What about the focus SVT?

The Lancer is just so butt ugly I would say go with the Civic.

I'm with Fat Matt on this.





How about Golf or Jetta? They certainly aren't as reliable as the Civic but they do have a devoted following. And you don't see them on every corner, at least not around here.

Price might be an issue. Just thinking out loud BTW.
