Lancer Or Axio? Update: Bought A Lancer! (Aka The B.r.a.t.t. Thread)

Hello Experts,

Excited to join Autolanka forums :D Waited almost for month for an admin to approve me ... anyway, whoever the admin that approved me, :smilie_liebe12:

Last December, I sold my good old Maruti WagonR ( 2008 model, 5yrs old, driven for 30000+ Kms) For 1.6mil. I was searching for a good car to buy ever since. ( that's how I ended up on autolanka) So now that I finally got approved I thought it's time to get expert ideas on buying my new vehicle.

My budget is 3.5mil - 4.0mil. I wanted to buy a japanese car and browsing the internet, Finally I decided that there are two contenders:

1. Toyota axio 161 1.3 X Grade (2013)

2. Mitsubishi Lancer EX 1.6 GLX (2013)

Both the cars ( Brand New ) are being sold for 3.5 mil. for the permit. ( Lancer : 3,460,000 to be exact)

My priorities are:

-RELIABILITY
-Fuel Economy

-Spare Parts Availability

-Safety And comfort

-Handling

-Looks

- Resale value

Axio Dealers are mainly bragging of TOYOTA Reliability and Spare parts availability. They assured me I'm in deep trouble if I choose a mitsubishi because there are no spare parts in local market and I would have to buy spare parts only from agent paying a huge amount of money and I have to wait till eternity for mitsubishi agents to import parts from japan. And they also mentioned that unlike axio, I won't be able to sell the mitsubishi for a decent price. (if I wanted to, of course)

I called mitsu agents and they say they have spare parts for any vehicle they sell and I don't have to worry. However the sales guy said he have no idea on 3rd party parts availability.

So as you all can see i'm in a dilemma here. If you were in my position which car would you buy? And please be kind enough to mention why.. :)

This is my first post on autolanka, so please go easy on me if I have offended any rule.

Thanks in advance.

-- Axio vs. Lancer : And we have a winner! The "BRATT" discussion --

Pretty much sums it up I think. Too Long? inspired by an indian forum ;)

Thank you mods ^_^

The Bratt thread :D

and after the change, if you google for "lancer ex bratt" , this thread is the first result (atleast for me :D)

I'm seriously thinking about getting a B.R.A.T.T. badge fabricated - and to fix it where "GLX" badge should go. :D pretty cool first mod noh? if someone want to know what the hell is this variant - he just have to do a google search - Lancer EX B.R.A.T.T. :D

Thank you, Komi, for the unique name - and thank you fellow AutoLankans!

@feeling great :D

If I were you, I wouldn't. This is akin to ricing up your car! Each to his own though.

That would be epic! But I would suggest slapping a sticker on the 3rd brake light with B.R.A.T.T letters cut out. The purists may frown but it'll look unique.

hated the fact that i had to ruin the surprise for you. couldn't find the font anywhere!! i guess this way its not as obvious as letter on your car, since its on the inside of the glass will last longer too

Anyways it was a surprise, I thought it's a congratulations card or something Sign%20stupid.gif

I'm trying to figure out where are you gonna paste those machang.. Komi says inside the glass but letters are being black they wont be visible if they are pasted on a plain glass.. there is no glass in front of the third brake light as it is mounted on the trunk not behind the rear windshield.. ??????

On front and rear windshield of course. I'll upload the photos... somethings wrong with my browser or the net connection. I cant load a whole page :sport-smiley-027:

HAve never used Kapruka before Trinity. Do you have any experience with them?

I don't but, few of my office mates bought down stuff like Lap tops, Tablets, perfumes and I almost went on ordering myself a spoiler for the car. Also I saw one member in AL also bought down tires for his car through them. Heard they take time but delivers without any issue. You can get a price quote from them before ordering...

Anyways, when you are really in to this, I suggest try local places like Euronippon & US auto as they also have these stuff with them. When you are ready let me know...

Need the photos with the stickers as soon as you sorted out your browser/internet issue...
